The GTS was the only way for people with neurological or mental disablities or mental illness or socially awkward who are marginalized and isolated, who don't fit in and have no friends (because we still live in an hateful and ableist society that bullies, marginalize and isolate people who were born with disabilities through no choice or fault of their own and makes it hard for disabled and socially awkward people to make friends and fit in) to be able to trade with strangers around the world and do global trades and get the version exclusives and the trade evolutions.
Nintendo has gone from being inclusive to excluding an entire class of people and treating them like second-class citizens. If people like me are excluded from global trading with strangers and getting the Pokemon they want, why should I buy the game no matter how good the game seems to be? It really saddens me because I watched a playthrough online and liked what I saw, but if Nintendo won't give us the GTS and choose to keep further isolating marginalized people and make it impossible for us to connect on a global scale and get the Pokemon we want and to have this wonderful sense of community that we had back when we had a GTS, then they can't act surprised when some of us just won't buy the game and encourage this kind of exclusion and deplorable decision. I will not vote/go against my own interests and the interests of millions of isolated, marginalized, disabled, and socially awkward people around the world. We do not deserve this type of treatment.
Not only won't Nintendo be inclusive of marginalized groups who need socialization and a sense of community and a way to get the version exclusives and trade evolution (bringing back the GTS), but they also exclude LGBTQ people as well and even though they have "apologized" for it they just keep doing it:
This whole thing just pisses me off so much...
