Pokémon Episode VIII: The Last Jedi
>eighth mainline entry in the series
>the previous couple entries got heavy with nostalgia pandering, aping stuff from and sometimes even taking place during the first entry
>critics herald it as the best of the series, some proclaiming it even tops the beloved fifth episode
>also claimed to be a huge game changer for the series and a breath of fresh air, and naysayers are brushed off with the TOXIC MANBABY card
>leaks before official release leave fans extremely skeptical, and them getting hands-on with it shows a ton of issues and startling new levels of incompetence
>overall, it's not actually that different, it's just the same shit as before but less of it
>merchandise is strained and inevitably fucked due to the limited scope of the material and the mixed reception for what new things it does bring forth
