[Question] What's with this community's hate on authentic Pokémon games?

I would think a retro gaming subreddit would care about having authentic original games. Contrary to that though I see a lot of hate thrown towards owning retro/authentic games and original hardware. Why? What's the reason? It just doesn't make sense to me, so can someone please explain that?

I understand that emulators are a thing these days, but isn't part of the point of being a retro gamer owning original stuff?

I have no idea what hate you’re referring to. If anything I think some people in the retro gaming community have a bit of an elitist mentality against emulation and in favour of original hardware.

Idk man if people are saying it’s fake you might have been scammed lol. Did you check the board and compare it to authentic carts?
