#where someone directly argued alder was made to seem weak

[crystalelemental]

Fans talking about Red and Blue using “off-meta” Pokemon: “They’re dedicated people using things they have attachment to in a great show of characterization. Besides, this just means they’re such skilled trainers they don’t even need legends and super strong options!”

Fans talking about Alder using off-meta Pokemon: “Yeah they must have just wanted to make him seem weak since the only good mon on his team is Volcarona. They just didn’t seem to care about him so he’s not as interesting.”

So sorry you’re no longer able to play around in your imagination, and have mistakenly identified this personal problem as the series getting worse. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
