It upsets me how people can overlook such lazy lazy stuff and continue to enable this laziness because of brand power. Fair enough people do love pokemon and jump at the sight of it and will buy it. Gamefreak don't and won't ever try harder. Ever. Guess they've won.

I don't own a Switch yet, won't be buying one for this and I don't think I will ever have any faith in Gamefreak again. The last game I played was Alpha sapphire and thats because it was a gift, I never would have brought it myself, I held out all of gen 7 but now, I think this might be goodbye from me to this series.
