>Ultra beast are cool... What do you mean, "no gyms" !? Why are all the new pkmn so slow and ugly... Why are double battles are laggy af, I guess this game is pushing the 3DS to it's limit but it shouldn't be a problem on a home console...
Gen 8
>What do you mean "only 1/3 of the Dex", and why is it still laggy ? And why is it the ugliest AAA game on the Switch !?
We didn't "suddenly get standards", Pokémon just stopped being innovative.
