>>42803430Their marketing was shit, with examples like never telling their japanese audience about cutting the national dex, a 24 hour livestream having a model that is unfinished, and another one of their livestreams stuttering and cutting off before it ended, looks worse than a Pokémon Yellow remake that had a shorter development cycle, has plenty of issues within the game that made it seem like they were being rushed, Dynamax somehow ends up taking the worst of both Megas and Z moves and makes a completely broken mechanic, to the point that Gigantamaxes end up looking like shitty knockoffs in comparison, objectively the weakest designs in the franchise, an audience that try their hardest to be """#Pokepostive""", which in all reality involves plugging their ears to anyone who says anything bad about the game even though no game is perfect and the game has plenty of issues, and attacking anyone who sees the game as not up to snuff with death threats and name calling, while defending Gamefreak's terrible company practices with hypocrisy, like how we shouldn't care about our old Pokémon, despite Gamefreak's marketing beating it in our heads that our Pokémon are all special and that we should treat them as such, and how "nobody gives a shit about how you want your ~~Maractus~~ Stantler in the game" even though the game includes a Dex that feels less tailored to fans and more like they just made a Pokédex, including shitters like Cherrim, Basculin, non-mega Mawile, Chimeco, and more, saying that the Dex cut was for """balance purposes""" even though the meta is more centralised than ever, saying that the Dex was cut for """animation upgrades""" even though that didn't mean jack or shit considering that the animations haven't changed in 7 years with the exception of adding one animation for Dynamaxing, and Gigantamaxes (2/3)
