This is clearly the first step in their attempt to decimate the series. They tried to make it obvious with their bullshit animations, banal storylines/plot and ludicrous cartoony new mons, and none of you listened. Now they're literally taking Pokemon from you.

Do not buy the new games, fuck all of the petitions, and LET THE SERIES DIE. They want to retire and go home, but you wont let them.
