And hundreds, maybe even thousands of other games, do the exact same thing.
Being mad about something like this just seems so manchildish. Like a whiny baby that doesn’t have anything else to cry about.
LGPE came out a year ago. You had more than enough time to play them. And even if you didn’t support it, you still don’t have to, because you can go into any retail store that has a games section, but the games, do literally one save at the very beginning, return them, and get your $120 back.
This is literally the most inconsequential thing to be mad about. GameFreak rewarding players who played the previous titles, and incentivizing those who haven’t to give it a go, or like I said, buy it and immediately return it.
