>>36648901Masuda intended this to be a game for GO Players, very young children, Genewunners, Impulse Buyers, General Normies and people who have never in their lives actually touched a Pokemon game but still participated in Pokemania by buying merchandise, but he spent the whole time jacking off to a picture of Kanto while exploiting his position to force controversial changes that everyone else at GameFreak wasn't OK with, like removing Wild Battles.
Ultimately, his intentions of trying to pander and appeal to literally everyone (except actual Pokemon fans, ironically) is backfiring because of this utter amalgamation of shitty design choices and low-effort programming and animating.
As for the $60 thing, everyone's at fault here.
GameFreak for even doing it in the first place, Nintendo for approving it, and the consumer for accepting this change when the games are still just as trash as they were on 3DS if not worse.

Wonder why, even though I did the smart thing and voted with my wallet?
Oh right there's still millions of retards, autists and children who have no standards and only know to mindlessly consume the Pokemon Brand no matter what so my contribution means absolutely fuck all because I'm outnumbered by the absolute lowest common denominator possible.
