>>39911442You have to understand, people react based on what is real. A lot of reactions of SwSh were based on scarce information, leaks that border on wishful thinking and what the game is confirmed to lack. GameFreak is also known to cull features that could've been QoL changes for the game, so no one was certain if customization would've been nerfed until yesterday.
Showing more of the game's content and showing what features are retained does soften the blow a little.
