>>39930316the way nips get treated by tpc versus how everyone else gets treated by tpci is so drastically different it's jarring. tpci either has no idea what the west wants or simply doesn't give a shit because they know they can get away with lazy nostalgia pandering and cutting corners like partnering with wicked cool toys and fucking over western buyfags (go through the /toy/ threads if you want to know more). you'd think we'd at least have physical pokemon center stores in current year with how much revenue the franchise is pulling in but nope. all we got were some officially licensed vending machines and a store that got converted to a general nintendo store.
being a non japanese pokemon fan is suffering.
