Only things I wanted from GF before the direct:
>Gen 4 remakes (Preferably Platinum, cuz why remake D/P when the best of both is right there)
>GF announces they'll be outsourcing a mainline game to a different dev team
>New mainline game with less handholding and a better focus on player freedom and exploration, like what Zelda managed with BotW
The direct:
>Diamond & Pearl remakes instead of Platinum, and they look godawful
>BDSP is being outsourced, but to the "dev" team that made Pokémon Home, a glorified UI
>"Pokemon does BotW" exists, but it's a spinoff set in feudal Sinnoh to excuse how fucking empty it looks, all while running at a whopping 5fps
This is the most cursed monkeys paw bullshit I've ever seen, and I only have myself to blame for assuming GF somehow wouldn't fuck it up. I love this series so much man, but they just can't stop digging it's grave even deeper with every new announcement they make. It's so fucking sad to see.
