Your standard person who’s not on the spectrum doesn’t care about Pokemon’s graphics or animation, we care about the gameplay, in which Legends was lacking and miles away from the parts of the series most people love, whereas this game looks like the open world game we actually wanted. One with a Pokedex that’s not embarrassingly small, with a world that actually has level design, fighting trainers in battles to collect 8 badge-adjacent items to challenge a Pokemon League adjacent final stretch. It’s really not that hard. You autistic faggots are like “Omg why does no one like or talk about PLA??” because it’s a standard JRPG quest loop game and the vast majority of Pokemon fans don’t want that. Good for you if you did, but Scarlet and Violet are shaping up to be the games we wanted. If you care about models, textures, or animations in /Pokemon/ of all games then you’re too autistic for human contact, but that much has been true since you faggots emerged in 2013 with X and Y. Modern gamers are such faggots for graphics, you zoomers would’ve all killed yourselves if you were alive back when gameplay was all that mattered.
