>>40836477I wouldn't say it was negative from the start. A lot of people were burnt out and untrusting after years of meh, but there was hope. No one cared about Dynamax, but I didn't see many people giving up the game over it, since we were all used to one-off gimmicks.
It was right around the announcement of Dexit that things hit the fan.
>>40836890I don't know. Hype-wise, Lusamine and her family caught a lot of attention, Regional variants were a big hit before people realized how many of them would be shit.
