>>40808292>Are you okay with the dex cut?No.
>>How many hours do you typically put into a Pokemon game?999:59+ (with the most being nearly 6600 hours in my main copy of X, and keep in mind I own 2 - 5 copies of everything - I have over 7 years of hours playtime for a reason)
>Do you play postgame content?Yes.
>>Do you play online?I did. Haven't for the last year though thanks to them killing my desire to do so when the future was shit.
>Do you catch everything, most things, or just your in-game partyOn a playthrough I will either sit around until I have everything or what seems to be everything in the case of older games with no internet and shit at the time.
>Do you plan on buying or playing Sword and Shield?Without a delay, basically not a chance.
Only exception beyond that is if they skip straight to Gen 9 (and by straight I don't mean they rush them I mean fuck remakes etc. - Gen 9 all hands on deck no matter how long it takes) and listen to the complaints. And not the shitty zoomer complaints of retards who don't like Pokémon to begin with but those of us who actually like what it's been. Bring EVERYTHING fucking back; all Pokémon, all gameplay elements. I don't even care if there's nothing new to start. And that includes anything they intended to cut and put into Home. Home should be a transfer method and nothing more. They cannot move forward correctly without bringing everything else back into the main series games themselves first.
Also, sacking/forcing retirement on to Masuda, Ohmori, and Turner would be ideal as a nice apology (since words don't matter, actions do). Fuck them. They are trash and need to go.
In this case if there is anything I'll need for the then actually great again games of Gen 9 from Sword and Shield, then I'll buy them but not otherwise. They're not worth anyone's time. Especially not if you love Pokémon as much as I do.
