>>47989685I don't know about other websites, but people here have been pretty critical about each new game since SM came out. There was still a bit of flak before then about exp share and gen 1 pandering, and it didn't get really intense until USUM was announced, but it's been the general sentiment for about 5 years now.
There was a brief rekindling of hope in between the SwSh announcement and the dex cut announcement, and that very well may have been when a lot of the people who post here now first came to the board, but that wasn't representative of how the board had been otherwise
