>board filled with “GEN 7 IS CLEARLY KINO” when merely 6 years ago the board universally agreed that Gen 7 was garbage
The Pokémon cycle strikes again.
>“WELL GEN 8 AND 9 JUST SUCK SO MUCH THAT-”
Sheer cope. In the eyes of an actual critic, other dumpster fires existing don’t make the original dumpster fire look anything less like a dumpster fire.
Either you admit that /v/’s collective opinion has shifted due to influence beyond its control, and there are in fact more “reddit tourists” than there are “real chan posters”, as has been the case for more than a decade, perhaps even merely a few years after its founding.
The same thing occurred to Gen 4, Gen 5, and Gen 6 before it. Only recently have revisionists attempted to blame direct outside sources for praise of those games.
No matter how much you scream and cry, within 5 years, this board will be flooded with posts claiming Scarlet and Violet were misunderstood genius.
You can either accept it or leave the board. There really isn’t any other option. You can and will be replaced by a person who insists Gen 8 “might be getting a bad rap for no reason” starting immediately. It’s certainly not under my control, or anyone else’s.
>LE REDDIT NIHILISM
Far from it, I take joy in knowing all of this just makes people mad. The only “nihilism” at play here is the acknowledgement that a Bosnian yak-shaving board means very little in the grand scheme of things, which is entirely true. Meanwhile, I will be having fun playing video games.
