I lost faith in gamefreak after USUM, they don't seem to be willing to put out anything interesting any more, everything just feels empty, from gen 6, oras, 7 and LGPE. I lost hope for this franchise, and gen 8 doesn't look like it's going to be much different. How are anons holding up? What do you expect, I haven't kept up with pokemon in awhile now so I don't know about any new info that might change my mind.
I hope it won't be stale forever but gamefreak seems to have gotten pretty cushy with putting out mediocre games despite having the resources to do much more.
