Can we instead encourage people to post receipts with real game boxes and cartridges to enforce the idea that there are absolutely legitimate reasons to use emulators?

Pokemon in particular is the most emulatable series out there, between romhacks, randomizers, and upscalers on the 3D games.

There are definitely pirates, of course, but I feel like the public at large isn't aware enough of the fact that emulation is often a good thing.
