>>39792221I will be honest, seeing Gigantamax in conjunction with the removal of Megas, Z-Moves and even Pokemon made me have the epiphany that they never truly cared about helping shitmons or balance and just made each gimmick to be some shitty throwaway sales bait, and they're now treating them as they always saw them: disposable.
The realization that nothing is sacred anymore and that they'll remove anything, even the Pokemon themselves, just kills all the interest in it to me. Without that interconnectivity with all the games that the previous titles had they're just the same as any other RPG, maybe even worse since they're clearly still stuck in the past. There's no reason to get invested anymore. Why should I give a shit if they add shitmaxing when we all know they're just going to remove it next game? There's literally no reason to care anymore.
