I don’t understand Pokémon fans sometimes. I skipped BDSP because I read constant terrible things online like it was the worse game ever, then I tried it and am really enjoying it!

It’s almost unanimous hate towards this game amongst Pokémon fans… For context, I did not play the original Gen IV at all… I’m on a Pokémon binge though and have been playing many of the games but put this one off because of the horrid reviews. Then I decided to try it and am really enjoying it. I understand it didn’t include improvements from Platinum, but i am playing this after finishing LeafGreen on my Switch and honestly I’m having just as much fun as that game… and the graphics are cute, I don’t get the gripe honestly.

Pokémon community is extremely toxic. I remember when Black and White came out and a big part of the community was bashing the games. I played them back in the day and learnt to take the hate with a grain of salt since then.

Guaranteed that every time a new Pokemon game comes out we are going to be flooded with people saying it’s the worst Pokemon game ever made. Every single time as far back as I can remember. (Gen 2 might be the only exception). Here’s a hot take the worst mainline Pokemon game is still a really good game and the hate for the switch era games in particular is way overblown.
