    I knew this annoying dude who would always confidently declare that Pocketpair were doomed and that Nintendo was just waiting for the perfect time to completely destroy them. I don’t know why, but he seemed to almost look forward to that, it was weird.

      Apparently game fans in Japan and Korea are culturally opposed to any form of game mimicry. They were decidedly on Nintendo’s side and were rooting for pocketpair’s downfall.

      Which is weird because I feel like every game is “x game but with y”, but online spaces love to form one correct opinion and drown out all other perspectives.
