I was stoked to boot it up and like…what? It’s such a stupid game on all fronts. I get that stealing mechanics works if you’re into that kind of gameplay, but there’s no way that anyone other than pokemon obsessed people enjoy this. Even then, it’s such a poor analog for actual pokemon games. I feel like it’s “success” is all media buzz. Every actual human in my life agrees it’s terrible. Even my partner who is actually pokemon obsessed lol. But the coverage on the internet would have you believe it’s goty contender. I have never felt more convinced that we are living in a simulation lol. I can’t be alone in this, am I? Is there where I learn that I’m that far out of touch? Like, truly, if you enjoy it, good for you. We all have things we love that others don’t get. But like, someone please tell me I’m not the only one lol.
Yay! I’m not alone on the internet! Lol I’m shocked so many people who consider themselves savvy have eaten it up. You’ve just proven you are so easily bought. And bought by a demonstrably mediocre product. The devs hacked your brain. I’m actually surprised more people aren’t outright pissed off about how obvious and blatant it is. Bread and circuses I suppose.
