>No corocoro leaks (Literally the most exciting thing)>Barely any reveals (More than USUM, which is fine I guess, but that’s not a high bar to jump anyway)>Ishihara killed all of the hype and divided the entire fanbase and pokedex in half and made Masuda LIE about everything and make him the fall boy just to make extra profit of off DLC that was planned from the start and then says all future games will be like this>People leaked footage of the polished turd of a game and got FUCKING ARRESTED FOR IT because it “ruined the nonexistent hype and their “brand” ”(Literally imagine being incarcerated for leaking cartoon monsters from a children’s game 2 weeks before the game comes out)>Leaked footage also proved the game was rushed and severely unpolished/unfinished as expected>Joe Merrick defending garbage to suck their cock because money and brand loyaltyI don’t HATE Gen 8, I hate the people who made Gen 8.
Hype for Sword and Shield was literally non existent. As much as that sucks cock, it’s honestly for the better, because I would’ve rather gone in with low expectations like I did and the game meeting said expectations, rather than getting hyped up for some thing that was going to be extremely disappointing in the end.
