>>29805894I mean I wasn't as excited as I thought I'd be, and then I remembered that I've been playing these games for 7 generations now, and that every year I age is every year I'm playing the same genre of games and shit.
Not quite jaded, but I have the intelligence to not sperg out and whine about how I'm "done with Pokemon" or how "this is the worst gen yet." It's not fair to approach a game that hasn't even had a chance to stretch its competitive limbs and say it's completely irredeemable (especially when, stylistically, a lot of the Pokemon are fucking cool). But oh well, people are still gonna keep saying "everybody who likes SM right now is a filthy casual" before competitive play even exists. No stopping it.
