So many times in the last few months, something like this has happened to me:

Now first of all, this has nothing to do with BidChuck01, I hold nothing against this person, only the situation.
I tried to say something to contribute and it ends up coming back to slap me in the face (as in, people say I'm dead wrong, or simply laugh at me). Over and over again this has happened, and I just wonder why people can't be more...constructive in their criticism. If people would simply say (using this situation as an example), "Well, using the SW Magmortar is better because the one energy attack with Flame Blast or its Flame Body are more useful than MT's Smoke Bomb would be in the end, so it pays off to just play SW." Or provide an example within a game or something, that would be fine. But instead, people laugh at me like I'm an idiot. I don't think that is necessary, and I think that is also the reason why people get discouraged from playing games like Pokemon or playing a sport or joining a club, etc.
So, my question is, does this happen to other people as much as it happens to me? And to people who make the discouraging remarks, why do you do it, and why can't you think of something more constructive to say?
I respect that this is a public opinion board, but if you plan to write a response saying something along the lines of 'get over it', I respectfully ask you to refrain from doing so. Thank-you.
