You may not like it, but Pokemon Sword and Shield are the highest grossing games in the franchise. Either you are out of touch with the pulse of the franchise, or you've outgrown it altogether. That's okay. You don't have to be in denial. You can move on. Perhaps, you must.

So... what aspects of Pokemon have you so addicted? Is it the games? The Pokemon themselves? The porn? The replayability of the older games? The theorycrafting/worldbuilding? The competitive play?
