"The problem, as Polygon so rightly points out, is the generational divide that Pokémon has to endure. Fans that grew up playing Red & Blue are now in their thirties or forties, and they have a notion of Pokémon that is entirely different than those new to the series. For them, the act of bringing forward every Pokémon from previous generations is sacred--some still have beloved ‘Mons from their original team. Leaving them behind is such a viscerally tragic thing to endure that it’s no wonder they’re venting their frustrations on any excuse they can find.
#GameFreakLied will trend on Twitter for a little long, but already we see #PokemonSwordShield drowning out the naysayers. It likely won’t affect Nintendo or Game Freak’s future development of the franchise either--catering to kids has been, and always will be, Pokémon’s bread and butter."
