>>40808292>Are you okay with the dex cut?Hell no.
>How many hours do you typically put into a Pokemon game?Pre-XY, over 200. XY and beyond, barely maybe 100 (however I did put a decent chunk of time into USUM because I really got into breeding competitive mons for a while).
>Do you play postgame content?Yes, that's where the bulk of my hours go; Battle Frontier(s) and PWT were my shit, story content was good pre-ORAS (though I did like the UB thing in SM).
>Do you play online?Occasionally.
>Do you catch everything, most things, or just your in-game party?Most things, though these days I have a living dex so it doesn't matter as much.
>Do you plan on buying or playing Sword and Shield?Maybe buy it used, a few months down the road. I won't be able to stand not playing it forever, but I'm not giving those jews my money.
