If it's a really important aspect of the series to someone, I don't get why it's "whining." I've even seen people who aren't bothered by it admit that that there are reasons why it's a legitimate complaint. I've seen people bash/boycott things for much pettier reasons without this kind of resistance from the fanbase. It almost feels like they're saying "it's Pokemon, shut up and enjoy it," which to me is much worse than "I'm not going to play it because they removed something important to me."

As for me, I've largely fallen out of love with the series. The only game from Gen V and beyond that I finished was Y. Now, I still LOVE everything before that and still go back to it, but the new stuff is just, whatever. The lack of National Dex was just the final nail in the coffin for me on this one.

I think it's because a lot of people that whine about the Natdex being gone are kinda insufferable about it. They say Pokemon is "dead" and anybody buying it is "cancer" and blahblahblah, and then nitpick every single thing just to try and argue that the game is objectively garbage. Thus, a very vocal, toxic part of the community blew up a legit complaint into something ridiculous that people are just much more likely to roll their eyes at.
