>>38979060Yeah, the apologists piss me off. There's no opinions about this, this shit's an objective blight to the series and removes any uniqueness this series has.
And it pisses me off yet further when you realize just how starved so many people are for a new Pokemon game, and THIS is what they're getting. And the Direct was actually really nice. Yes there were a graphical oofs but I was genuinely excited, I was thinking GF finally would do something right.
Shit like this is why I rarely get excited for things. The only game I'm currently hyped for is Silksong because I can actually trust the fucking devs.
I'm really hoping papa Nintendo gets in on this. Backlash did something for Mario Maker, and the outrage is arguably worse here. SOMETHING'S gotta give here.
As it stands, the only way I'll be buying this fuckin' game is with a cheap used copy, if indeed there is such a thing.
