>>49478073The Pokemon Cycle isn't something that works anymore now that we have, unsurprisingly, Pokemon's own wannabe BotW to break it and redefine perception and expectation of the brand henceforth, and the brand seems very adamant on breaking the "Generation" concept that there is no consistency except for the fact there's some form of core game every year.
Legends releasing where it did is actually brilliant because it doesn't give people nearly enough time to let their gripes and grievances settle in, because by the time the normalfags start to notice and feel disillusioned, it's already Pokemon Day and the presentation is already showing off the next game's new Box Legends and Starters.
They won't even have enough time to realize they've been fucked out of having Charizard in Legends either because they'll prominently feature the fat orange bastard in marketing material for the Holiday '22 game.
