The world felt so rich and realised, not just in the sense of a 'real' place, but also of it's place as a game in the Pokemon franchise. It was a masterful work and it was a crying shame watching the retards here drag it through the mud. It was a collective reeeee that has forever scarred the series and the fanbase. Philistines and ingrates walk in abundance on this earth, a vast herd of hollow masses given infinite reach through the platform of the web, ensnared in the deafening silence of their own echoing mediocrity. The universe knows not itself through their empty vacant lot.
