How do the buyfags justify buying something this lazy? I mean, I understand it's only $60, which is a drop in the bucket for any working adult, but how can you look at yourself in the mirror knowing you are supporting the degeneration of one of your favorite series? I feel like anyone who truly cares about Pokemon should feel obligated to boycott simply to inspire the devs to do better next time. Maybe the boycott wouldn't work in the end, but at the very least you took a stand and TRIED ffs. They won't ever change things for the better if they know everyone will buy it anyway, so why not take a proactive approach as a consumer and refuse to pay for mediocrity? They already know our primary complaints so their hand will be forced if sales don't meet expectations.
I was genuinely enjoying reading your reasons for buying/not buying. I never got the chance to respond because someone accidentally deleted the thread. Please continue in a civil manner. Thank you. Here's some BGM for the thread, by the way. Basically summarizes the way I feel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r16-yEvDiA4&frags=pl%2Cwn
