>>53472555Its weird, I did a playthrough of it recently and had posted some screenshots of it in a few PMD related groups I'm in, and got a LOT of flak just for playing it and saying I thought it was "cute" and that not every PMD story has to be an over the top isekai (in AS you're just a bunch of random pokemon, you get to choose the one you start out with and a buddy for them but you don't have to stick with that.). Apparently just talking about it makes people in some of those communities seethe to no end, despite how they insist they will never ever play it themselves. The PMDG thread here was a bit better but they didn't seem to care for the game at all either, despite sometimes complaining about having no new PMD stuff...and never having tried AS either kek.
