Yes, some of us are rather vocal about their disliking of the new type, while others are willing to give it a try. That does not make anyone here right or wrong, though... we're just here to share our opinions, not point fingers at each other. If you don't like the change... that doesn't mean that those who do are stupid. If you do approve of the new type, that doesn't mean that those who don't are stupid, either.
...,And for the life of me, I can't recall whether anyone on here actually said that someone else was stupid. I don't think anyone did, though, and I'm certainly not accusing a single person here of saying it. So please don't go off on me, as if I accused you of saying something that you didn't. I'm simply trying to remind everyone that we're all different, with different likes, dislikes, and opinions. I would also like to point out that Pokemon is supposed to be fun. Sitting here fighting about it solves nothing, and spoils the fun.
With that said, I'm perfectly willing to say that I'll give the new games I try. With each and every generation of Pokemon, there's been things that I didn't like (such as how rediculous they make the female character look, or Woobat, or Bidoof, or...), but it hasn't stopped me yet. Let them add the new type. I'll try it, and then decide whether or not I like it.
... Oh, and as for my opinions voiced above, mentioning a couple of certain Pokemon? That's just my opinion. If you'd like to discuss it with me, feel free to send me a message. Let's try to keep this topic open for what it was meant for. ^_^
