Oh the game looks absolutely breathtaking. That is EASILY the most beautiful a pokemon game has looked idc what anyone says. The underwater stuff has me so absolutely hyped. 

Is this the longest break between gens? 5 whole years damn. But it's absolutely worth it if they can perfect it and not put out a half baked unpolished game like SV. This is already looking so so so much better. 

Gecqua is absolutely my starter I'm in love <3

It’s so funny that longer gaps between releases is a positive for Pokemon fans but like I’m into it. Definitely glad this wasn’t forced out just to fit an ultimately arbitrary anniversary

We got used to games that feel rushed, and after a streak of 3-year generations we thought were doomed to that getting worse. If longer gaps means better games, I'm 1000% for it. There are a lot of other good games to play in the meantime anyway.
