the reason pokemon sucks now is because it's been slowly but steadily losing its japanese identity both in character and game design
swsh's mons look horrid and have none of the original's charm and quirkiness that you'd expect from japanese-inspired mons. No yokais, no kaijus, nothing. It also pushed le open world meme and overworld encounters which will probably be the standard for the future. finding pokemon was supposed to be comfy, like gashapon, where you'd never know what you were going to get when running into the grass. now everything is out in the open, there's no mystery or excitement to be had
change my fucking mind
