Why do people hate change????????

Because it's not the gameplay they expected like in the older games.
Well, I'm not one of those change haters, I loved SMS and SPM.

In all seriousness, it depends on what you change. If you make the game too different from its predecessor, people aren't going to like it as much, even if it's still good.

It really depends on the type of people, what they like, and what was changed.

SMS does not receive hate. However, I don't really like it because a lot of the things in that game didn't work at all.
As for SPM, it was quite simply not a Paper Mario game. It had other problems with it too, but I was looking forward to a new Paper Mario so much and they killed it.

Such as?
The only thing I hated in SPM was the partners being replaced with Pixls.

I loved the stringray boss battle. the watermelon shine sprite wasn't overkill jesus. corona mountain was only terrible because you couldn't control well that fucking boat. I agree on the lilypad level... AND I HATE BRINGING A YOSHI TO THAT STUPID ISLAND WITHOUT FALLING INTO THE WATER JUST TO UNBLOCK THAT FUCKING PIPE. the casino level isn't that bad. secret levels just require skill or patience and you simply don't have both.
also the only fucking things I hated in SPM were the annoying rpg/platformer change, they should kept it as RPG, the useless piccolo quest, both flipside and flopside trials, sammer kingdom sammer guy fights, replacing partners WITH FUCKING BUTTERFLIES FAIRIES, having to get tiptron first when continuing the game after the final boss and the final boss may be cool but seriously I was expecting something more difficult as shadow queen or paper mario final boss bowser, that boss can kiss my soft furry ass because I didn't even lose to it because it's way too easy, just stomp it to death with bowser.

People tend to overexaggerate how difficult the watermelon level is. Try to find a way to kill Cataquacks. Like, us the sprouts to launch them in the air. It's not hard at all after that, it's just that people seem to don't have the patience or don't know how to kill them off.

Replace "handle" with "accept" and there's the answer.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
That's how I feel about games, usually. I don't have a problem with positive improvements, but if it worked great before (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door had almost nothing wrong with it other than backtracking), why change it? That doesn't make sense.
(also the best version of the above quote was IGN's "If it ain't Brokemon, don't fix it".)

Loaded question. It's facile to dismiss criticisms of the mentioned games as "unnecessary hate" (in opposition to necessary hate, I presume?) spurred by a cartoonish revulsion of change itself, rather than trying to understand why the individual changes are criticised, either because the change is genuinely problematic, because the series the game in question is unique/part of a niche genre and the changes might drift from what the person liked in the earlier installments and words words words.
or; "[vaguely defined group] only hate something because of [vague, value-neutral concept]!" is a thought-terminating cliche. Thought-terminating cliches are bad. Don't use them.

Am I the only one that actually enjoyed the Flipside/Flopside Pit of 100 Trials? I don't know, but they were a hell of a lot more enjoyable and less monotonous than the TTYD Pit of 100 Trials.

I found them great, too.Fassad said:
The battle system made them feel a lot less repetitive than TTYD, and it helped that you didn't have to take as many hits. Plus Emergency Rations were A+

I don't care changes of gameplay, but why don't the staff at least debug the story?
And if the staff didn't think to make the old partners return, why do you ask for "partners"?
Depends on the change. Though I think partners are better, here I guess the staff want to stress on the main characters while making pixils as "tools".Bronto Burt said:

Unless you really want to fix it, in which case you break it.

This. Change in Mario isn't bad. Party 9 was also cool but some people didn't see it because they straight away assumed it was bad.Bronto Burt said:
