>>39227800>>39228601>>39228655>>39228690>>39227743Ah, good times when the Switch was announced as a handheld hybrid, I thought "wow, it's like a dream come true, we will FINALLY have mainline Pokémon games in a regular game console, I can't wait to see how it will turn out!".
3 years later and it's the first time I'm not excited for a mainline Pokémon game. I didn't even cared about the cut in NationalDex. The problem is everything else. I've seen a cashgrab mobile game (it's gonna be a fun game anyway, I don't judge you) have more soul than the mainline of games. I've seen they advertise the super innnovative "wild area" that people seriously mistook as a N64 game and that looks as dead as some crappy korean MMORPG leveling field. Of course the game has nice things, but GF is crossing the line. And Masuda's letter of literal "fuck you" was the icing on the cake.
Just came to this board to rant a bit about my favorie kids game franchise in this thread specifically. Maybe it's time to just abandon it after all. I can always replay the older games on handhelds anyway, something already I do every year anyway. I will give Masters a shot, but no way I'm purchasing SwSh. There's just better games to play. Welp.
