Wow. It seems like every time there is genuine promise or good news for Sword and Shield, it is immediately followed by something scummy, retarded, bad, or negative in some way.

February:
>Game/Starter reveals
Starters look like shit also NO NEWS UNTIL FUCKING JUNE

June:
>Really good and promising trailer of gameplay with e3 gameplay as well
“No National Dex! Lawl! X3 I really don’t know haha” FANBASE LITERALLY BREAKS IN TWO.

Also June:
>Fanbase continues to tear eachother apart
>Masuda apologizes for game being shit
NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT

July/August:
>Probably the only safe months
We got news like new Pokémon and regional evolutions and forms returning, but the entire fanbase was still at eachother’s throats.

September:
>New Pokemon are revealed and more gameplay is shown
Absolutely useless Curry mechanic that hundreds of Pokémon died for is shown

October:
>24 hour livestream
JUST FOR A FUCKING FORM

Also October:
>New Gigantamax forms for KANTOOOO Pokémon
Pikachu and Eevee forms can only be obtained if you buy LGPE.
Also Kanto.

I don’t care how good or bad these games end up being anymore. This is easily the worst time to be a Pokémon fan EVER. This series is DEAD.
