YouTuber here, wanted to post an anonymous... observation? I guess.
The channel I co-run uploads Pokemon Longplays now and then alongside other game series. Our viewers are interested in them because of the teams we come up with... getting to my point, I wanted to post an interesting observation, that being NO ONE on the channel is interested in seeing us cover Scarlet/Violet. We actually have more requests for older games we never got around to, even REDOS of games we've already done, but the interest for S/V is practically nill.
We aren't a huge channel by any stretch, only 500ish subs, but I think this is still some serious food for thought. I really think these are coming out too soon.
