I just said that if they're doing it for Pokemon, they're doing it for everything, and Pokemon isn't mutually exclusive to this.
The difference is that other games I'm saying that this applies to are more distinct. Plotwise and characterwise.
Put it this way.
Have you ever seen someone say "I dislike Red/Blue but I like *name any other trainer rivalry here* "
Now... have you ever seen someone say "I dislike Cloud/Sephiroth but I like Squall/Seifer"? Because I've seen it a ton.
That's the difference. The games are highly derivative of each other. There aren't any sort of rifts between Pokemon games based on plot or the trainers. Rifts, if any, are based on the Pokemon designs being lame or the games not adding enough between iterations.
