>>39475005Because fun is serious business, OP. If we didn't have fun/ entertaining things to distract us, it would be nigh impossible to keep our minds off of how shitty the world has become. I'd imagine at least 80% of the population of this website would have committed suicide by now if we didn't have our own ""happy place" to turn to in times of desperation. It's a pretty serious issue if entertainment media is no longer able to entertain a large portion of its consumer-base. That's why the ongoing decline of the Pokemon franchise is always a hot topic around these parts. Pokemon SwSh is merely the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak.
