>>54655848Honestly? Social media and the current year. Used to be, back during pokemania, you were relying on magazines and sketchy old forum websites for info. You also had the show and commercials to let you know what was going on. Phone's weren't as good, mobile games weren't really a thing, so the lines at gamestop, sears, and Toys R Us were out the street with kids and families wanting to buy Gameboys.
Now we get the entire game leaked and pirated a week prior to release and know whats going to be on it and how the dex/gimmicks work. Throw in some trash poketuber opinions and idiotic hype over a rumor or two and people get let down easier, or think a game sucks way worse than it actually does.
