This is what I gathered from going back and reviewing the entire thread:
People claiming Pokemon is a repetitive, tedious, time consuming process that provides a false sense of skill which isn't entirely dependent on the player's actual talent.
People claiming Pokemon is a deep investment that involves more than number crunching, such as creating strategies for dealing with entry hazards and highly used Pokemon.
Not once did I see anyone really concede to any point, nor did they agree with each other's assessment. That leads me to believe the people enjoying Pokemon will continue to enjoy it despite realizing how unbalanced and time consuming it is, while those who despise it will continue to pay attention to it and attempt to help those who play it realize it isn't really a well structured game at all.
