>>35123288Gen 7 felt like fan games to me, like they were trying to go in a different direction just because they had a smaller team to work with. It especially made it feel fan-game-y when it went full on ALTERNATE UNIVERSES, and Rainbow Rocket was a fucking trip and a half.
I strongly feel that they were cash grabs overall, but made by a smaller team who care a lot about the series and want to see it grow, but the whole thing felt sort of amateurish.
My great hope is that this was a B Team gen and the A Team has been working on Pokemon Switch for two or three years already. But knowing GameFreak, I'll be disappointed again.
