Nearly every time I read your name on my screen, it's usually followed by a post where you condescendingly look down your proverbial nose at another user and insult their intelligence like they're some kind of punk.

Seriously dude. What the hell?

Is it really necessary to be so rude and abrasive towards other people? What did they ever do to you? For ease of example, there are players out there who are just trying to get themselves into competitive battling - or maybe they don't care about competitive and enjoy something about the game that you might not. Either way, they might come here to ask a question because they might be intimidated by the boards at smogon or another place. They ask that question hoping to get an answer, and sometimes they might need something else than what just simply amounts to "lol git gud."

Now, while I can certainly hold my own against a lot of the players out there, I don't claim to be an ace at competitive battling; I'm a mid-carder at best and I know it. But people want to get better. And they need to. They need to be encouraged and the better players should want them to succeed. That is how a metagame continues to grow and flourish - shunning newer players (hell, just other players in general) and treating them like their opinion is patently invalid is not the answer. The amount of blatant disrespect you show other users on this board when they voice an opinion (or even so much as ask a question) is appalling to me.

Could everything that was datamined from the demo be all that we're getting in the final product? I admit that I can be a pessimist at times: I believe that it is, and I will say that it's definitely likely. But is there a chance that such a mindset could be wrong, and that the demo was taken from an earlier build of the game before everything was finished?

You bet your ass.

Taking a stance on an issue is fine. But completely ignoring the POSSIBILITY that you could be wrong, and even going so far as to ATTACK your opposition without provocation, is not. Especially when the other side actually has some ground to stand on. I'm not saying that I think there's anything more than what was found in the demo, but there is no need to jump down the throats of those who believe otherwise. They could very well be right. And if they are, what then?h your presence more than just a few times.
