>>35433572>Pokemon isn't the endless time sink it was when I was youngerFucking flat out retarded and wrong. Try actually building a team on cart and tell me it isn't still the most boring, tedius, soul sucking "gameplay" experience of any RPG ever.

CHOKE ON MY FAT DICK. Pokémon IS timeskink incarnate. That's all there is, in a game that's all cutscene and no postgame. Responding to your dumbshit was twice as fun and twice as engaging as playing a children's game designed for a generation that would rather play mobile gatcha garbage because at least the dopamine high you get from a rare pull will cover up the fact that you ever considered yourself a Pokémon fan. BRB IMMA KILL MYSELF FAGGOT AND HAUNT YOU FROM THE OTHER SIDE.
