I'm a pretty casual pokemon fan, i've played every gen but I've skipped some like B2/W2 and I didn't even beat like half of them (I usually get to the elite 4 then stop)

I was already pretty lukewarm on S/S, the legendaries look dumb but the rest of the pokes look great, I even am kinda fond of the starters

but this news? this really kills my enthusiasm, same with my girlfriend. I'm happy we didn't preorder it. I have the dumb bank and even though I don't go crazy with collecting I had specifically taken everything I had from compatible games and put them in that fucking bank just so I could have a cool varied team for S/S. I even bred some babies to start out with.

at first I didn't think that was that huge of a deal but I've been sitting on it all day and my conclusion is that this is a huge bummer and as a person who is only kind of a pokemon fan I think I might be passing on this gen for a while. the dynamax thing being a really lazy CTRL+T of existing pokemon to make them bigger already screamed "we don't have enough time to do everything right" and this basically confirms it so why should I play this half-baked game when the next one will probably be 100x better like when X/Y improved going into S/M?
