Sure, they tried to mitigate that last factor with B2W2, but the damage was already done.
GameFreak's idea of what the west is like was eternally cemented by a bunch of fucking faggots who don't actually care about the franchise at all and certainly didn't care about it when they were younger and simply wanted to get in on the latest fad, and we're the ones who have to pay for it.
