>>48153272>Alola actually does reference all generations thoughIt really doesn't. Every gen has one or two throwaway references, but Gen 6 was more celebratory of the entire series than Gen 7 was.

It's still Alola and Galar's fault. They're the ones that compounded it and made it pandering. Pic related.
