>>52046854Do you understand the concept of pre-order? None of the people buying the game know how bad it is. None of them are aware of how awful the dex is, or how every starte evolves into furry faggotry. The Force Awakens was the most profitable Star Wars movie of all time, did that mean that Star Wars was going on to become more popular than ever? No, Star Wars went on to fucking die. Scarlet and Violet is riding on hype from previous games, and slick marketing, notice how they haven't marketed the strong cheese mon, the furry starter evos, the fucking tumbleweed, or any of the other gay shit in the game.
I know you can't think long term, but Scarlet and Violet and going to permanently taint the franchise is a way that wont be felt immediately.
