So Gamefreak just said fuck restricted Pokemon, we're going back to season 7. Thoughts? Personally I'm ok with this, S8 wasn't all that fun for me and I'm glad to see them taking a step back. Nobody could have predicted this, and it just goes to show all the patternfags out there that once again they cannot predict Gamefreak.
