>pretty much nobody is willing to defend SM anymore
>hype for USM is non-existent, compared to BW2 where we had even less info
>Nintendo had to announce a Switch game during E3 because of the backlash
>all the major Pokemon forums (Serebii, Smogon, Bulbagarden, Reddit, /vp/) are nearly dead
>2ch has nothing good to say about SM either
>/vp/ itself has degenerated into waifufaggotry and furfaggotry, indicating stagnation
>Pokemon Showdown has nearly half the userbase as in ORAS because the meta is irredeemable horse shit that can't be fixed with any number of bans
>Smogon is simply giving up on suspect tests for the same reason
>Poketubers are quitting in droves because the cart game is equally terrible
>sales are the lowest among all newgen Pokemon games
>knockoffs like YW are experiencing a resurgence in Japan
