That's not what they're saying. People are more than welcome to dislike what they dislike, and not buy what they don't want to buy. But there are a certain group of fans who will latch onto an issue as a springboard to complain, and spend the entire release cycle firing off hyperbole tantamount to claiming it will be the death of the franchise, or irrevocably damage it, and speak as if they speak for multitudes. And they'll be there every week, regardless of the fact they've said they don't care for the games, and have already supposedly made up their mind not to buy them. And then some of those same people will still buy the game and enjoy it for the same reason they enjoy any other pokemon game. It's not the difference of opinion that's infuriating. It's when it comes with hollow criticism, usually boiling down to 'its not my ideal game so screw it', and an almost sneering tone to those who are entirely happy with what's been presented.
Entirely spot on.
If you buy it used then it wouldn't be full price.
That was definitely not the context that most of these people were using. Definitely not.
