>The new gen looks absolutely awful to the point that even normies can see it
>The meta fucking sucks dick with creative new ideas like Alolan forms usurped by dumb one-off pieces of shit like the USUM UBs and unchallengable things like Landorus
>The little postgame content that exists is a cheating piece of shit that can literally just decide you miss and send out hard counters to your team at will
>Extreme oversaturation of shitty, seriously low-quality legendaries that get a crappy movie and just exist to be roadblocks to Pokedex completion
>Most interesting thing to come out of the franchise in years is a game focused on underage waifus
>Interesting mechanics from previous games cast into the abyss, never to be seen again
>Pokémon designs themselves at an all-time low, all new designs directly contrast jarringly with classic designs
>TCG worse than Yu-Gi-Oh!
>Anime worse than Digimon Tri
>Worst of all, the community is bifurcated irrevocably and bitterly between weak-willed milquetoasts who know only to consume, and those who have also lost all hope of a return to form
I've never felt so pessimistic about Pokémon.
