    Most likely. People are very against the Pokemon franchise (for unfortunately very good reason) at the moment.

    People are so weird, they review bomb pokemon but if you critique anything about a game they like they get all mad at you and if you play or support or like pokemon they get all mad at you and use dumb and fake criticism and call you a bootlicker even though they also are for something else

    I've been seeing a lot of arguing over the place of the franchise

    I'm not saying this to argue

    If you disagree, great

    If you agree, great

    I'm not saying this to start something

    I just want to express that I don't think the hate is deserved

    I see nothing wrong with where the franchise is right now

    Yeah, they cam do better

    EVERY GAME CAN DO BETTER!!!

    Why should Pokémon be held to a higher standard?

    Pokémon Unite gets nothing but hatred

    I play the game and love where it's at!

    I haven't had any glitches or problems

    People complain that the story of the game isn't what it used to be

    I see these stories and love them all

    I didn't care for S/V's story, but I still say it was a good one

    Especially the DLC's

    Z-A's wasn't great, I'll be honest, but that's one game

    Why ate you losing your mind over one game?

    I'm sure Gen 10 is about to be amazing!

    Have you seem those graphics?

    That alone gets me excited!

    And people say Pokémon doesn't listen to us and don't care anymore

    Really?

    People started asking for open world

    S/V was opened world (as well as Arceus, which came first)

    People wanted real time combat

    Z-A has real time combat

    Just because they don't meet all of our requests doesn't mean they are ignored

    I love the franchise still and look forward to the future

    I'm tired of hearing hate and arguments

    If someone quotes this I'm not responding, just so y'all know

    "Why should Pokémon be held to a higher standard?"

    The problem is that it's the highest grossing media franchise of all time. They could do better in nearly every department, they just refuse to because of money.

    It’s just peoples expectations are too high they expect a free- 20$ 240fps 72K graphics with a multiple day long story and voice acting and all the pokemon they like getting something new if not they’ll complain online about the game without even playing or trying it

    I have never heard anyone complain about modern Pokémon games being 60$ in the past few years, just the occasional complaint about minor Switch 2 graphical upgrades for Switch games costing an extra 10$ and it's usually aimed at Nintendo itself. Unless you're thinking about people complaining about how little Z-A MD adds to the game for its cost, in which case I think that's absolutely valid and we should not be OK with the glorified post-game side quest they gave us for the same price The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero was. Or FRLG, I've already said before it's already a high price for a game they made over 20 years ago.
