The fucking official competitive scene will be dead on arrival and along with it any official events and along with it pretty huge opportunity to sell massive amounts of merch to hyped up manchildren.
Who cares about ten million sold copies? For TPC most important is merch and if things go the way they currently go, they will see significant loses... and on top of that it's right after SwSH era, which was riddled with similar issues due to Covid. Last few years were horrible for stability of Pokemon as franchise and unless there will be some magical change of heart, we will see results sooner or later.
