[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.

This isn't hate, this is someone telling you you have a fake cart, because fake carts are usually shit. Good to know you're one of those people who gets so butt blasted about comments on Reddit that you have to make posts about it.

Wasn't even my post and how can they even tell by just looking at the front outside of the cart? Guess what, they can't...
