>>46110084It was the last straw in multiple ways
>the mainline franchise finally left handheld games, and FINALLY has a chance to break out of it's shell and be a real RPG, but instead they shit out a game that's only marginally better (mechanically)/more ambitious than SuMo>They culled the roster with the excuse that "other things will be improved in turn" when they weren't, we still have the same futureproofed models and animations (barring that one (1) dynamax roar sleepyqueer likes to "gotcha") and, of course, said culled pokemon were just sold back to us later to fluff up barren DLC>DLC, while better in concept than a 3rd rehash, floundered to such an extent that it makes BotW DLC look worthwhile>Despite all the many ways we can easily transfer what little data pokemon comprise, we still have to buy into multiple cloud storage services just to transfer a few dozen bytes of data But the ultimate breaking point was pic related, the unironic, straight faced "who needs a light switch? just unscrew the bulbs when you don't want em on, lol" remark killed any good will I had remaining for this company. Im sick of "waiting for it go get good", it'll never be good. It took me decades for the rosy glasses to slip and finally see what genwunners and people who jumped ship after gen 2 were talking about. This franchise (at least under GF) peaked at gen 1-2, everything afterwards has been a sloppy, high chasing recreation, and it's safe to say after 20+ years of this shit, they have no intention of changing.
