Seriously, why doesn’t this franchise just hire fans already? From designs (pic related) to writing to game mechanics and features, fans do it better. Nintendo/game freak/tpcusa are shallow, hollow, greedy bugmen at this point and grind out mediocre games.

Im so sick of it, i have no other “franchise attachments” in my life, I have avoided being a consumer drone. But pokemon is a sad, pathetic shell of its former self. Scarlet and Violet look like sword and shield - gross greens and browns with no life or thought put into design - and we’re supposed to not say anything?
