Anybody else just not care anymore? I stopped caring sometime around the middle of the whole sword and shield fiasco and now with the remakes and pokemon legends coming up i just genuinely feel nothing. It's actually quite liberating.

I forced myself to complete X, but the complete apathy took over in Sun when I barely reached Team Skull Town and just couldn't motivate myself to press on. I checked out of the games there.

I have a strong association of Pokemon, especially SM, with my ex who burned me so it wasn’t too hard to let go when dex cut happened. I still come here regularly though

while XY was actually a redflag (actually enjoyed ORAS tho) I stopped caring after SM, it was the first pokemon game I didn't finish because I realized that shit was completely going downhill

Last game I bought was Alpha Sapphire because a hack wasn't available to my firmware. Pirated Sword, injected rare candies to rush through it. Only played Let's Go up to the point I could transfer to GO. Later stopped playing GO. Didn't play Mystery Dungeon DX because I've played Red on the GBA. Was going to play BDSP, but the update requires 13.1.0 which I can't be bothered to update to and the huge amount of bloom annoys me so much I can't stop noticing it.

You can not transfer Pokémon from let's go, to Pokémon go.

Why would you lie like that, on an anonymous Ukrainian cabbage farming imageboard?

It was something else, then. It's whatever you get on the Safari Zone. Maybe experience in GO for transfering pokémon to Let's Go? All I wanted was candies and xp.

I don't care, I only visit this board when there's news or releases, just to check if the games are still on a downward spiral or if GF is finally doing something good again.

Looks like BDSP are not the game that will make me go back

There was connectivity between let's go and go. You could only transfer one way - from Go, to let's go. And the only benefit GO would get, is an item in game that has the Pokémon Meltan in it. Which you then had to Grind for a melmetal. You didn't get any candies or exp though, it would be too abusable, and would kill the balance of GO.

Well, it was that, then. Added cheats on Let's Go to speedrun my way to the Safari Zone just for it and never kept going.

The malaise set in for me around gen 7. I'm older than most of this board (played RBY at release when I was 12 in '98), so I have a long history of back and forth with this series. But after the release of generation 7 I think I genuinely felt that the series had moved on from what I expected it to be and wanted it to be. Then generation 8 just totally solidified that. It's not even about cutting Pokemon, it's just about the attitude and the presentation that they seem to have assumed during this time. All I wanted was a monster catching game that's fun with lots of cool features and secrets and lore. I don't know what they're trying to do with the series anymore other than the bare minimum to maximize profit. And it annoys me. I still love seeing reveals of new Pokemon and being a part of the community to just bullshit about game mechanics, competitive, speculate for new games, come up with fakemon concepts... But I think the future of Pokemon at this point is going to be in games like unite and not the main games. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. But for me I'm comfortable just visiting this board to get a little taste of the community and then moving the fuck on. I'm not buying another Pokemon game until they prove to me that they're still capable of making another generation 4/5. Call me spoiled, I don't care. They clearly don't give a fuck about what they're doing with this billion dollar franchise as long as it keeps making money.

I reached the point you're at in my late teens, albeit with other franchises. It was very freeing. Never got into the gaming side of Pokemon enough to speak on it in particular, however.

I'm still attatched to the DS and gba games, but I really can't be arsed to care about the 3ds and switch games that are legit downgrades to a franchise that used to be much more innovative and cared about fans

For the most part yes, but we still feel compelled to come to /vp/ at times.
There is longing and disappointment deep down.

I was bitter and resentful for years. I also love Gen IV. After the Exp. Share news a month ago, it was almost like that was it. I didn't watch the Zorura Legends video. I haven't watched any of those animated shorts on YouTube. I didn't touch Twilight Wings. I haven't seen or read any news in the past month, and it feels like I don't really care. I saw the Infernape vs Steelix webm on /v/ and that's when I knew it was over. Now it's occasionally other people messaging me telling me shit like there's a one byte flag difference between cartridges and the music is all placeholder DS music without the proper soundfonts. Yet I've seen some cool stuff too like there are apparently Gym Leader rematches above Platinum's and other new interesting content.

But Pokémon's modern design style has so utterly compromised something I loved. I'm just so tired and apathetic at this point. I just don't fucking care. I don't care to look more into the games, I don't care to play them, I don't care to give Legends the time of day or watch anything related to it, I don't care about Pokémon at all anymore. Not when it's like this.

I've been looking forward to Shin Megami Tensei V so much for the past week, and tomorrow I'll be able to play it (I have a hacked Switch, but I'm waiting for Japanese voices and I want it physically). I actually forgot BDSP release this month. To be honest, I don't even remember what day they come out, or if they have already.

As an another old fuck, this.

My Pokémon experience currently is arguing on /vp/ and showdown randoms. I tried Sword at the behest of my fanboy friends. Dropped the game before beating it and gave it to my teen brother. He dropped it and gave it to our 12 year old cousin. The kid sold the game.

>I don't know what they're trying to do with the series anymore other than the bare minimum to maximize profit

Late stage Pokémon is so obviously a cash grab. Look at mainline Nintendo games, and then look at the embarrassment that is a rushed unity game. There is no artistic integrity anymore. Pokémon is a merch brand with cheap games serving as nothing more than concept art extraction and advertising. Fans pay to be advertised to.

I don't understand this board. How can anything be excited for ... this? The new remake isn't even on ORAS level. and that game sucked.
