Pokemon's been with me for a lot of my life. It might be melodramatic, but the entire state of S/S makes me genuinely angry inside, and just a tad bit sad. I was let down by Kalos and Alola, but at least those games had a few saving graces to distract from constant cutscenes and shitty writing. This has nothing, and I can't even use more than half my favorites. Pour one out for Banette, Azumarill and Crobat.
