Everyone is blaming Scarlet / Violet's low scores on the Switch's lack of power. This is naive. The problems with Pokemon aren't isn't a lack of power. We don't need a Switch Pro / Switch 2. We need the Pokemon franchise to be handled by a modern company who can innovate.

@inversedotcom That is some deeply revisionist history. Tolkien LITERALLY wrote a bible of info detailing every element of his world down to the smallest detail. He conceived the entire high fantasy genre due to this. He also spent most of his life denouncing deeper analysis of his work.

@masonMHLS It absolutely was. Kanji isn't gay, and Naoto isn't trans. They fundamentally misunderstood the story of the game and the main characters arcs, and so did you. You're simply projecting your own values on to the stories, values the narrative wasn't even trying to explore.
