>>44613944Can you really blame the fanbase, XY were mediocre from a single player standpoint and was piss easy plus had some Kanto pandering, ORAS also suffered from poor difficulty and also cut a beloved feature introduced in gen 3 because in their own words “Kids have short attention span”, SM was bogged down by unnecessary long dialog, half the games features was Kanto pandering and handholding that lasted the entire game, USUM was a third version sold as two games (unlike platinum, crystal and emerald which were 1 game and on top of that they came out 2 years after their predecessor unlike USUM which came out 1 day less than a year after SM) and was marketed as drastically different thing only for 80% of the game being exactly the same and than SWSH had the dexit controversy which gamefreak keeps making excuses to justify only for every single excuses made collapsing harder than a Star going Hypernova when the game came out and on top that the games were not only easy but were somehow more linear than Alola ever was and was borderline blatant with the Kanto pandering to boot, then theres the whole Unite controversy.
Really the past 7 years since XY have been either disappointing or plagued with controversies worse than anything prior.
