>tfw the hype for SM is starting to fizzle out

Alola looks like a fantastic region and the graphics and music are great. But most of the new Pokemon are mediocre at best and the Alolan forms just means were not getting that many new Pokemon. Honestly, I've never felt like this. I've always been hyped for each new game with every announcement building up to the game, but a lot of the announcements for SM have been hit or miss. Anyone else feel this way?
