>>37322182Fans get hyped for the next generation regardless, don't pretend that this is exclusive to now.
And while we're on the subject of LGPE, no shit people are already anticipating Gen 8 this early. LGPE is a game that you'll play for a month at the very most, and unless you're one of those Twitch streams who shiny hunts to gain donations from your followers, you'll get bored of the games and will never pick them up again. These games have zero replayable value, Gamefreak never gave a shit about making this game some sort of masterpiece, they only made it to ride off the Pokémon Go popularity and to make a good profit from minimum effort. Don't go around thinking you're some voice of reason in the community because you support everything that Gamefreak creates, many people never liked LGPE to begin with, simple as that.
