But S/M was announced near the end of February, and we didn't get news until about May. Then Game Freak seemed to learn their lesson, because they were on top of news coverage and kept assuring us when we'd get news. You'd think they would keep that up, instead of just maintaining radio silence and promoting other games over it.
Plus we knew that SM was the start of a generation, so of course it would have a lot to offer. Now they're showing us a game that has less of an appeal, and not giving us any reason to care about it.
