Correct me if I'm wrong but gamefreak employees lost the passion to make pokemon games since XY came out, and with Nintendo and TPCi practically forcing them to continue making these games they really lost the passion for, hence the laziness and lackluster care, wouldn't it be better to buy the games if you're going to spite them?

That said, not buying the games will on a small margin tell Nintendo and TPCi that SwSh was a bad idea and might cause gamefreak to be removed from future creations, so your choice. Also I won't be reading the thread because of the many hatred I know this will stir.
