>pokemon fan, seeing the shit that is SwSh, decides to skip the games for once, feeling they cant support GF when they make choices like this
>normies: what the? 400 isnt enough pokemon for you? ahahaha, why cant you appreciate pokemon for making these great games for us, they worked so hard, and we all appreciate them. Grow up and like them for what they are, our favorite youtuber even told us what great games they are!

for real though, i feel like the only people who see this shitshow for what it is, is either A) people who stayed into pokemon when it kind of fell off during gen 3 up until now, or younger people who got into it around then and also stuck w it until now. blows my mind that normies who havent done anything pokemon related before GO came out are the ones defending GF and buying SwSh and starting this awful decay of the series. The youtubers/twitter fiends are even worse in my eyes, i genuinely believe some of them see this mess for what it is, but shill the games anyway because of "muh views"/ not wanting a real job
