I actually really don't care about the culling, I really don't. I never transferred Pokémon because I never saw the need to nor had friends or link cables to trade Pokémon with to complete my Pokédexes anyway. I'm also a person who could care less about 100% completion in any game. I just play games to have fun. This is why Pokémon is now a game series I play when I can find the time for it. So many other great and fun games to play instead.
I do, however, care that Game Freak are lazy and incompetent fuckers and the reason why Pokémon games are boring nowadays because they make millions by default. Since Gen 5 the games just don't get to the fucking point; forced exposition here, forced exposition there and they are so fucking long. Gen 7 was Tutorial - The Game and my god I didn't think it could be worse. Game Freak forgot humans learn primarily by doing, especially kids.
It angers me that they could get away with everything because they make Pokémon. People are defending the extremely lackluster and UI nightmare Town because Game Freak is making it. If any other devs, AAA or indie, made this game, people would dismiss it and say it's shit with its PS3 graphics.
Their graphics are shit, their UI is shit, and they seriously should hire someone who can fucking optimize code and assets.
I also think since Sugimori has changed his art style to more "cute" from Gen 3 and onward, the Pokémon have become worse and worse. There's nothing special about them anymore. It's obvious Sugimori prefers drawing people and humanoid creatures since Gen 3 and went full throttle since Gen 4, with all the obviously feminine Pokémon being made that are supposed to be unisex, and making them even more feminine in their Mega Evolutions. The "animal" Pokémon are all round-shaped, cute, and extremely simplistic because they're easy to make and market, only one or two Pokémon actually look like monsters each Gen. Turner has fully adopted this style as well because it's super easy to do.
