>>43926408I decided against buying the game because of it, so there's that. The series has downplayed and neglected aspects I really cared about while hyping up and doubling down on showmanship that lacks substance.
>WOW, ten thousand people gathered in a stadium to watch my eleven-year-old ass one-shot a GIANT but INCREDIBLY FRAGILE monster... again! As if our fight was relevant to them somehow when this is so commonplace in-universe.People defending the aesthetic here are fucking clowns and it's sad they don't recognize it. If this applied exclusively to the Champ's Cup, I'd get it, but look at the pic here - that's the first gym in this shit region vs. Milo. Ten thousand people gathered in this stadium to watch Milo lose to another unknown eleven-year-old for the thousandth time. Is Galar the region of jobbers? Do they all just come out to watch their favorite jobber lose every week, again and again? God damn I am so based, but you shills can have your jobber region and carry on living jobber lives.
