I really hate it when people try to normalize problems by saying that other people have it and you're not alone. This just creates ignorance and makes a person not want to get help for their condition.

For me, I think it's how it's said. It's not like people shouldn't get help, but they shouldn't be treated or felt like aliens to other people for their problems, but treated as people all the same, but they should also understand that they do have problems that need helping. So if worded right I don't think it creates ignorance but rather comfort that they're not alienated, that they're person but can also know that they have problems to work on... That is, if worded or acted right toward that person.

Wow! That's actually not a lot compared to last time. I just needed to remove these off my chest; although you can kiss my earlier Coco opinion from last summer outta the way.

When I found out that S/M actually gets a lot of hate I was very surprised. It's honestly one of my favourites. I liked how it changed a lot of things rather than having the usual. I do get the hate for the Ultras though. Unfortunately unless the pokemon games follow the exact same formula as first gen, the general fanbase won't have anything to do with them. Its why X/Y is so popular. I will forever be salty about this. I'm also surprised about the Lilly hate too. I prefer Gladion myself, but Lillie was a very well done character. Heck I love the family in general and they are my favourite pokemon characters. Quote: Waaksian Same. Another thing that annoys me is when people complain about sexualized female characters in games but fail to see that all male protags are basically the same old gruff guy (well in the west anyway). And this is coming from someone who would love more female protags like Alloy design-wise.

Since you said about it being surprising on why SM get hate thought I'd list some of my thoughts. It's not too much to do with following the same formula as gen 1 as there is just issues with the games. You're still free to disagree, just wanted to share an opinion from the other side to provide a different perspective. I also find it interesting you say about X/Y being popular, when I mostly see it get **** on and referred to as one of the weakest entries. At least on dS anyway. -Festival Plaza is rather a massive step backwards from Gen 6's PSS. Being able to wander around the story while having online open and available to trade freely was nice. It made it so you weren't just stuck standing in one spot twiddling your thumbs if waiting for a friend to come online or just wanted to be available for random people to trade/battle you. Now, you have to be in the Plaza to be online and there doesn't seem to be a hell of a lot to do to make it worth being locked there. Hell, just scrolling around to find a friend when they come online to arrange a trade/battle seems so much harder than before. -The amount of Gen 1 pandering sucked, notably with Alola Forms. Just 1 Alola form Pokemon from another gen would've been nice rather than them all being Kanto. -How rare so many of the new Pokemon seemed to be. Why is it that so many of the new Pokemon to Gen 7 seemed to be the ones locked behind a rarity of 10% or lower? Having entire evolutionary lines locked behind SOS battles was just icing on that rotten cake to make things an extra pain in the ass for those wanting to complete the dex. Seriously, you should not be able to go the entire game without even seeing as many Pokemon as is possible to in SM. -The story doesn't really feel that strong, frankly. Mostly this is the fault of many major characters having a plot hole or general writing flaw about them that seems like the story just wasn't proofread.
-Megas getting almost completely abandoned in favor of Z-Crystals despite being treated like some major mechanic in Gen 6 then being part of the basis for the whole divergence in the timelines/dimensions is just weird and kinda crappy. It makes Z-Crystals feels even more gimmicky than they are by setting up the notion they'll be abandoned come Gen 8. It was extra ****ty in that at least half of the Mega stones were locked behind serial code events which have all ended by this point making them limited availability. -The large amount of hand-holding in the game made it feel even easier than past games to the point of no real challenge. Even ignoring the fact that the game now tells you what moves are effective or not, it's pretty bad in the story. The entire first island acts as a massive tutorial which gets to be a drag to trudge through after a while. Walking down main street with Lillie and having to enter every shop and hear about it is just downright painful. Having literal roadblocks thrown about with a guy there to tell you "no, go back and do this first" is poor design. The game should have a figurative roadblock that lets the player wander off in the right direction and explore the answer, like any good RPG does. Not tell you to turn around to specifically do something before you can proceed. Many of these roadblocks are placed after you should logically have done what you need to anyway making them unnecessary and the cutscene of opening them just an annoyance. -The lack of a national dex is still just baffling. -RotomDex is the most annoying thing and actually made me hate a Ghost Pokemon. Having a more interactive Dex that can talk with you is something. Having it double as your map when it never shuts up is just frustrating. I swear, every time I wanted to look at the map, he had something to say, and there is no way to get him to speed up his dialogue like everything else. Pressing A won't skip ahead, opening the menu just makes him restart his current speech. Seriously, he gets real annoying fast. -Really a matter of opinion on this one, but Ultra Beasts just complicated everything in a way that just wasn't for the better, imo.

^ Oh I actually should have explained myself better haha, so I'm really sorry about that. I actually agree with everything you said. I have a love/hate relationship with gen 7 where I love it and it's definitely a favourite but it just has too many flaws that make gen 2, 3 and 5 superior over it (i've actually never cared much for gen 4). It definitely felt like the games were being held back because of the hardware they were on. Basically if it didn't have all these flaws gameplay and story-wise (by being released on console that could ACTUALLY HANDLE ALL THE CONTENT IT NEEDED *COUGH*SWITCH*COUGH*) it could have been my favourite pokemon games.
I definitely don't like how the story was handled at all, which is a shame because it legit could compete with gen 5 for best story, and surprisingly dealt with very dark topics. I know previous pokemon games had dark stuff in it before, but I'd say gen 7 went even further. One thing you didn't mention is the fourth island. One of my biggest issues was how the fourth island was handled. You know the story handled things badly when the anime handled the events after Lusamine went insane more than the actual game. The anime's approach was better, where the siblings handled the crisis with their mother alone, making it more a personal thing like it should, rather than Lillie following the player around and Gladion (and hau for that matter) just sitting on the sidelines doing basically nothing???? Basically I love what gen 7 introduced (except z moves those can die) but it could have been handled far better. I still just say I like it though, depending on my mood lmao. And don't get me started on the Ultra games. They just butchered the plot and took at the one major plot-point that made the original games very interesting and made things worse rather than fixing all the problems like it should have done. In fact I think by changing some of the stuff with Lusamine it just resulted in more plot-holes. The reason I was surprised by S/M's hate is because X/Y is surprisingly well-loved from what I've seen despite all its flaws, so I thought the same thing would happen to gen 7 because it has just as much Kanto pandering, and we all know pokemo fans like that. The internet fandom seems very different to the fandom i've seen IRL, in that it's not 'mah first gen' obsessed and actually likes gen 5. :') Oh and here's another unpopular opinion: As much as I love DB and DBZ, I've never liked the fandom because of the fact that it's always about Goku and Vegeta and every other character they act like don't exist, except maybe Freeza, Buu and Cell. Its always been awkward for me to fit in since I've never cared for Goku and especially not Vegeta, and my favourites have always been Gohan, Future Trunks, Videl and Piccolo. Oh and DBZ should have ended after Cell because everything after that is pretty bad. :')

Ah, ok. Sorry for kinda just rambling off then, lol. 4th island was generally kinda weird. Mina's a main one for it that stood out for me in just not having any real trial. Though I think USUM fixed that. It's just weird with 7, cause when I see people talk about it, they are either hate it for all of it's flaws, or just love it and seem to blindly ignore almost all of it to claim all the characters and story are perfect with most mechanical flaws being minor and try to say it's the best gen ever made. Weird, I tend to just see 6 as that black mark as everyone treats it and people just like a few specific characters, Serena, Lysandre, & Sycamore. Changing Lusamie & Gladion for Ultra just made things weird. And the Wormholes being gyro control by default with having to find "that one NPC" to change it is just weird. The only real thing I like with Ultra is the better designs for Elio & Selene. Selene's chicken hat thing was just awkward.

naruto was a good anime
Like yeah it did get bad overtime, but it was still good at one point. And Naruto was the first ever character where I actually adored the 'happy protag' for once and far prefer them over the 'angst one' , and the later one is usually the more relatable one who undergoes more character development. :\ Oh and the original series is underrated and I wish it got more spotlight over Shippuden

I really don't like titles at the end of movies. Both at the start in the end is okay I guess, but it doesn't matter if you take 5 minutes or 2 hours, I KNOW what movie I came to watch. Just make a memorable opening instead of acting like I'm still watching trailers.

One thing that generally annoys me is the way characters are getting treated now.
Basically if the character tends to react to anything they get deemed as 'angsty'. I hate this new view that characters have to not react to anything bad that happens to them in a negative way.

I was never really a fan of The Incredibles. I found the first film boring (the "Where's my super suit?" scene is the only bit I like) and I'm not too bothered about the sequel. It's my second to least favourite Pixar film after Cars. I'm looking forward to Toy Story 4 more than Incredibles 2.
Also, it's been almost 20 years and I'm still waiting for A Bug's Life 2. |

most animated movies nowadays don't really interest me as groundbreaking. Everytime I see a current animated movie they all look the same and have plots that many other live action movies have. Like I get you connected with the theme of loneliness in *insert praised Pixar movie here* but have you ever seen a movie that wasn't targeted towards children and soccer moms?

Fair enough. I don’t really watch for the plot, moreso I watch for the comedy and creative locales. I am interested in some of the plot of the show, but for the most part it just makes me laugh (Season 3 being a partial exception). But, hey what do I know. I’m honestly quite easy to impress |

Jerry is the best character of the show. He's the most realistic and relatable while Rick is what people on Reddit think they are. The first 2 seasons had very good Jerry and Beth centered subplots but season 3 was more focused on Beth and it showed all of her weaknesses because it was the first time In the show where she wasn't with Jerry who pretty much completes her character. But then again season 3 wasnt that good so..... |

I disagree that Jerry is the best character. I think his shtick is annoying and I think the fact that Season 3 just had him constantly failing over and over without any character growth was such a disappointment. I also don’t think Rick’s unrelatability detracts from the show too much. It got a little out of hand with Vindicators and the finale, but again, I watch the fun sci-fi comedy cartoon to laugh and have fun with the occasional hype story beat. |

That ain’t that unpopular!
Also, while I’m here, Spyro’s original graphics don’t hold up all that well IMO. I like Crash’s art style way better and a lot of Spyro’s models look like polygonal messes rather than concise designs. I do appreciate Spyro having that open world feel so early into that era of video games, from what I’ve seen though, the visuals haven’t aged the best. I’m glad the remastered version looks so good so far! |

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion but it would seem like one, I was also unsure if this should be in the video-gaming unpopular opinion because I mostly mean it toward video gaming services but I guess in the long run of things it could mean any service at all but...
I think having a highly costing, lifetime subscription to something is better than having a low costing, monthly subscription. While yes, the negative is that usually lifetime subscriptions are really costly, about three-hundred buckeroos from what I've seen the most, I feel like the positives outweigh the negatives, then you don't need to continuously pay a subscription fee for that service, you don't have to worry about if you have enough money in your bank account or not for the next month. I mean I guess the negative is cancelling it or making a new account or having your account hacked means you lose that lifetime, but I still... I personally feel lifetime is better in the long run. And so, I think in this area I think is the only reason why Xbox live is better than PSN or Playstation Plus, I mean there are more positives to both, but that's so far the only incentive of why I'd probably take Xbox live gold membership over Playstation Plus, because having lifetime subscription, aside from that... Can't think of much else. #changemymind (just memeing i'm not serious here and don't want to start anything and also understand there are still negative to lifetime subscriptions just my own personal opinion is that i'd like the option for at least lifetime sub on more things like playstation plus)

First thing that comes to mind is if you'll even use the service for a lifetime. You might jump from MS to Sony, or you might stop using Photoshop for art, or you might lose interest in editing and never need Sony Vegas again.

Probably not for Xbox Live, I mean it's an incentive to get Xbox Live but it's not enough that I'd want Microsoft consoles instead. Though I would love a lifetime sub to Playstation Plus because I admit, I'm a Sony fangirl and it'd really help me personally in the long run. Especially since now.... Online gaming is starting to be dependent on these subscriptions and I really can't afford something monthly.
Edit: I mean, to at least have the option of Lifetime I forgot to mention, don't want people forced to take up lifetime subs on things.
