do you actually enjoy pokemon now? i kinda sat back and thought about it, and i've come to the conclusion that i only really enjoy everything surrounding pokemon except the games themselves. i like the designs of the characters and pokemon, and the aesthetics and occasional spin offs, but the main games have become so stale and boring for me.
i bought Sword when it came out and it was the first pokemon game that i never actually completed, i think the last pokemon game i had fun with was unironically pokemon go when i was finishing high school
