I felt sick playing this... I’m 27 years old. I remember getting a Gameboy Colour and Pokemon Blue way back in the 90’s. The first season of the anime premiering on the TV. It was good. Nostalgia can blind people, there’s no question there... but this. This is unacceptable. The game utterly reeks of corporate sell out cash cow. How can we honestly sit here and say “yeah this is fine” when the likes of BOTW, GTAV, Skyrim, The Witcher 3 exist. This franchise earns more than any of these game studios. Sure, maybe they pump all their money into merchandise, that’s fine, merchandise is great.But even a modest modern AAA video game budget can churn up something better than this. I have no words to describe how obnoxious and malicious this release feels. As it is, the best Pokémon game post X and Y is Pokémon Go, yes, the mobile app. Shame on you Game Freak
