There's also a bit of a danger in suggesting that the only way one can be part of "the community" is to have "war stories" about content. If I'm somewhat less of a part of the community because I refuse to put up with the shenanigans of certain parts of the game, Titan HM being amongst them, then I have to at least stop to question if it's a community that I really want to be a part of, anyway. If my War Stories don't match up to what The Community expects, am I somehow not worthy?
For example, If I refuse to do Ravana or Bismarck EX because I find the ratio of enjoyment/reward to frustration to be all wrong, and I hate those fights, am I not a True Scotsman?
I have never done Ultima HM or EX since I started playing the game a year ago. Am I No True Scotsman?
If I think that most of the primal fights/trials are overrated wastes of time, and am happy to do dungeons and the occasional raid, meaning that I have collected fewer Pokemon and should not want to see anymore until I've collected them all (even though some of the "Pokemon" really are a lot more annoying than anything else), am I lower on this sliding scale of investment?
