>>39494628I used to enjoy pokemon and Im sure as hell enjoying other things not pokemon related, and i can even still find some enjoyment in older titles including shit like SM, but how the fuck am i supposed to find joy in a thing absolutely void of it now?
Do you not at all feel a great deal of cynicism seeing the absolute true shitfest pokemon has become? Im pretty sure all of us believed that not only would game freak avoid removing pokemon lest there was an actually decent reason behind it or pokemon becoming literally a shittier version of gacha games but here we are right now.
I want to believe it somehow gets better from here and enjoy the biggest provider of content since i was a child and if i had a kid, even introduce it to them but how the fuck can i now?
>>39494573Honestly i feel kinda the same, it felt really rushed and i was hoping they'd do something like platinum or HG/SS to properly make it feel whole but instead we got fucking USUM.
Im currently playing through a pirated copy of it but I can't helped but to keep thinking "What if Masuda and Ishihara take the fucking bugs out of their asses already" cuz clearly those two are beyond enraged and discomforted by something, Nothing else would explain how they behave towards their own Franchise otherwise. It's all so fucking negative and self loathing
