I've had beef with Gamefreak since SM (and even before that but overlooked it) I'm just taking this opportunity to sow the seeds of discord and convince everyone GF needs to be dropped for Pokemon to truly be good.
The ideal situation to recover from this PR nightmare would be for Gamefreak to push back the DP remake/3rd version another year and spend time gradually patching in Pokemon for free similarly to how Splatoon 2 brought in new weapons and stages over a period of time. Obviously the absolute best case is that Gamefreak gives up rights to the Pokemon IP to Nintendo so we can get Pokemon games on part with Mario and Zelda.
I fucking love Pokemon, Gamefreak is the only problem. I just want it to be good.
That being said, anyone suggesting "just wait for the 3rd version with all the Pokemon" is why Gamefreak thought they could cut Pokemon in the first place. You people let them take away Megas, following Pokemon, Battle Frontier, PSS, Z Moves, Legendary events, and more which is why they thought it would fly if they cut Pokemon and sell them to us later.
