    Honestly the main reason the discourse around this game is annoying is that the whole idea of an edgy version of pokemon is juvenile as hell, but people are instead moralizing about stealing from fucking nintendo

      It’s sad too because I don’t want edginess, I want Nintendo to just explore Pokemon like they’re living creatures.

      The worldbuilding is so shallow and the Pokedex entries don’t make sense. And the new Pokemon roll out to replace the old ones (hate that it’s called dexit).

      It’s frustrating to think about the proposed ideology of Pokemon about stewardship, compassion, and working together when the franchise itself is just that, a franchise.
