The games being Dogshit with less being sold for more, DLC happening despite the devs originally being against it, Pokémon and trainer designs being at an all time low, James Turner being allowed to have art direction outisde of Harmoknight and Spin-offs like Trozei, the game looking as bad is it is for advanced hardware, the devs and Ishihara being lazy lying niggers who have been dishonest and anticonsumer, reused assets, models, and animations that have existed since Gen 6 the fanbase being split into 4: bootlickers, coomers, toddlers, and the ever-so-rare genuine fans, just everything that attributed to the dark age of Pokémon.
