I'll admit it. I've always been Team Groudon. I was Team Groudon last year, and I was goddamn right about it. But now? There's not much I can do.

All the leaks. The fact that there's a region countdown rather than a standard numerical one. The fact that it's just about time for another Pokemon Direct based on previous years. They're all falling into place, and I can't take it anymore.

I'll admit it. I've lost. There's no denying Gen 8 is coming at this point. There's no point in feigning denial anymore, because that'll be going against the truth. The undeniable truth that Gen 8 will soon be upon us, and that I was on the wrong side of history.

Please Kyogrechads, have mercy on me. Allow me into your ranks, for I am worthless. Fellow Groudonlosers, please join me in my forfeit. We've lost.
