Pokémon has gone to the shitter. Almost all of the designs are crap. I never bought the new game and never will buy any future pokémon games. No more ash, no more pikachu. It’s not even pokémon anymore. Back then they had some pretty good designs, but now they don’t care about it anymore. It’s no longer about making a fun game for people to enjoy. As someone who was once an avid pokémon enjoyer, they are now solely focused on making the “new” half based cash grab that gets old and tiring. It’s dull and repetitive at this point. No more soul in the new games. Even the old games would eventually get repetitive but I know most people would agree that they were comfy and having substance. Now it’s soulless and bare minimum effort.
