Kotaku writes news story about remarkable 10-year old Pokémon

http://kotaku.com/this-guy-has-been-...cade-507614785

I was linked to this by a friend who joked he expected it to be about me. But seriously: do ordinary people think this is that uncommon? ^_^; Hell, he doesn't even have one from a Japanese Ruby or Sapphire pak (2002): he's talking American Fire Red (2004)!

Man, I knew Kotaku was all about shitty and/or controversial journalism these days, but I sure didn't expect this. The person who wrote this article is either grossly ignorant about the Pokémon community, a huge troll, or hell -- why not both?

BORKED

It's Patricia Hernandez. She's grossly ignorant about a lot of things video game related.

THAT SAID: I wish I could still transfer my original/older Pokemon over, because I rarely did and it would be great to use my originals. I transferred at most between three games or so before I stopped, I think. IIRC, it became more tasking and tedious to do the process as time went on.

This so much. It's a real shame that she's Kotaku's Pokemon "journalist."

I'm surprised she isn't make a big fuss about what gender, if any, the Pokemon was, because it would be sexist to use the same gendered Pokemon for so long.

I'm surprised she hasn't written a whole opinion article about how GameFreak is comprised of a bunch of cisgendered scumbag developers with a conservative agenda because the first thing the Pokemon games ask is "are you a boy or a girl?"

And I have a Swampert exactly the same age as your Blaziken.

The same person who pointed out theres a dick on a statue in Animal Crossing? lol is all that can be said! The inevitable backlash from their dumb articles (such as Hideki Kamiya shitting on them) is the only reason to pay attention to something with Kotaku in the title!

The only thing that this article has done is get me to listen to various songs while watching Omastar dance.
