>>50036856I wouldn't say I stopped playing Pokemon, just the newer ones. SwSh totally burned me out because of how soulless and empty it was. 20 minute battle timers, the shitty Y-Comm system making it unbearable to battle friends who also got turned off from playing anymore, and simply not being able to use ALL of the Pokemon that I worked hard to get and raise.. it was certainly the first time I felt so completely and utterly disinterested in Pokemon, but then I started playing the older games out of pure copium.
