Like, Anyone else hate being "Given" a Pokemon?
Not just given Pokemon but a Pokemon you feel like you haven't earned.
First, being given a Charmander/Squrtle/Bulbasaur before you even reached your first Gym in X/Y...
Then Being Given Lucario in Tower of Mastery is kind of like an ultimate insult in a game where half of your Pokemon are given to you.
There are so many aspects about the "demonstration" atop Tower of Mastery that I find so distasteful
but then be handed a Pokemon Like Lucario, for the sole purpose of a game Mechanic that I don't like,
and then, to add insult on top of insult, to be given the Option to turn down that Pokemon
(yet still have to face that Same Mechanic throughout the game)
Only to be GUILT-TRIPPED for refusing the Pokemon...
Man..... I don't know why but this has really gotten me perturbed.
I can't even bring myself to pick the game back up now....
This was the same way back in B/W2 being forced to do that Stupid Movie Shoot,
That I wanted NOTHING to do with but that game wanted me to waste 20 mins of my life
Doing something of no benefit to me, the game, or society itself,
Yet it portrayed itself as though IT was doing ME some kind of Blessed Favor that I should drop to my knees and Praise Arceus for such a "Gift."
I just wanted to continue the game but the game FORCED me to participate in a Game Mechanic that I hated,
and it almost made me quit then and there.
It's just obscene and frankly, I find it offensive to me in so many ways....
