I guess no one really remembers the great feeling of being first in something. First with X shiny, first with perfect IV's, first to beat the Elite 4, etc. Back when emerald was massively played on Gameboys you would destroy the game in a few days to a week, sometimes a month if you wanted to complete the Dex. Then you would reset, try something different that time around, and do it again. Of course it's not an apt comparison necessarily, it just lends reason to the fact that change is never bad, it just causes anxiety in those who fail to understand it.
