>>32545546It's normie because it got so popular that most people in the west overlook that Pokemon is weeb-ish.
Sun/Moon is full of anime things, the artstyle and character design, the pseudo-romance with Lillie serves as your self-insert for imaginary girlfriend, not counting many others things.
Anyway I don't hate anything with these elements, just saying that they're there, I think people obscess a bit too much about Pokemon, probably because it's the only "anime game" that they played as kids, but there's much better stuff out there.
