Don't hate the series that had gone to shit.
Hate the shitty developers and publishers who are giving rats about a multi-billionaire dollar franchise who should had been high quality (and it's fandom). If GTA could pull out more content while rot anyone's graphics card, then why shouldn't Pokemon? Minecraft got optimized terribly, it atleast tweaks the visuals and adds more content (albeit, for the better and worse).
Game Freak removes content after content and replaces with a brand new and to the point irrelevant content where it becomes a disaster in both ideas and execution.
Mega Evolution was the greatest thing happened in this franchise ever and one of good things in XY, the idea behind it is incredible and the execution is fun in both singleplayer and competitive play. Which got replaced by a gimmicky mechanic called Dynamaxing, which even that got replaced by Terastallization. Cooler designs to fat fucks to just giving them crowns. It's getting lazy. Cutting most of the features like held items and half of the Pokemon (not all generation mons btw) for "the graphics".
The reason they said that it's because they knew they can't make a proper 3D game since 2013 and it shows even more in SV, less saturated models, duplicated models, garbage animation and it's a buggy mess too now, it's insane how they didn't improved 11 years ago, they should had almost the same skill as XD devs by now. And the fact that TPC/Nintendo didn't ditch them out for a competent dev for the mainline entries means there's a nepotism going on.
And don't ask me about the Switch, I learned by now that the Switch is no different than of a potato PC, it's why I tried to emulate Miitopia. But it didn't work because muh firmware.
Even on a Switch can be beautiful, look at BoTW or SMTV and compare it to SwSh or SV. It's day and night, and it's embarrassing that a mulit-billionaire dollar franchise has graphics of a N64 game, and not even a good one. Conker's Bad Fur Day is far more beautiful than this fucking games, and I'm not even joking.
yewtu.be/watch?v=rdORFULKwZAAnd don't get me started on constant nostalgia, like Green Hill and Chemical Plant shilling, I'll nuke the fuck out of this fucking places, good lord.
Angel Island already got it thanks to Fire Breath, why do I say that to AI?
yewtu.be/watch?v=2lbikjkYeBIANYTHING, even a Chineze bootlegs are much better than the mainline games to the point it's embarrassing. Anything but the main games is what kept the series alive at this point. The fanmade/porn community is like half of the fanbase's population or more.
Ah speaking of fanbois, they are just as insufferable as the devs themselves since Gen 3, they call Pokemon's shit way before Gen 5 with the same double standards and hypocrisy because it's not Kanto, outshadowing actual criticism like Onix is shit in actual stats. The shilling became way common after XY, which the anime itself is shit that ruined PKMN anime fandom alongside with the game itself thanks to shipping cancer, SwSh was the highlight of the problem, everyone is now noticing how dogshit this series has become and some of the fangirls are eating slop by Game Freak out of "originality" mentality. Tendies also being here helped nobody. They defend anything that it's Pokemon, even the bad design, poor writing, overpriced dlcs, bugs, half-cutted dexes, removed features, even the terrible Gen 1 games that was buggy as shit and poor mechanics, remember my Onix example now, some fans defended it's "intended game design" when he should had been upgraded for newer generations to be stable, every shitmons should be stabilized, instead of forcefully choose only the strongest which is getting boring at this point.
Yeah, Pokemon is shit now, the only thing I came here is the fanmade content and side games, I won't came back until I see a genuine great mainline Pokemon game, until then, they can wipe my ass off with their bullshit excuse of cutting content to work on graphics.
Fucking hell.
