I haven't bought/played the games since sun/moon. Not even because "muh kids game," I still fucking love the series. But I no longer enjoy what's happened to the mainline games.

If I ever go back to pokemon, it's gonna be one of the older games for nostalgia/self imposed challenges, any good fan games that don't get nuked by Nintendo, ROMs to do stupid randomised runs, or poken fighter since it's literally the last one I've played
If not, there's always the porn I guess. Really fucking sad that that's the thing I enjoy most about it now
