For me honestly, I'm not too defensive because some of the criticisms can be valid ones in my opinion but it's their opinions and it doesn't affect me much.
Not really. Most of the time, if someone dislikes pokemon, it's for a valid reason. I don't think I've ever come across someone who was so against it past the point of reason, so I haven't had to get defensive. People need to try harder to offend me, haha.
