Thank you to all of our fans for caring so deeply about Pokémon. Recently, I shared the news that some Pokémon cannot be transferred to Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. I've read all your comments and appreciate your love and passion for Pokémon Just like all of you, we are passionate about Pokémon and each and every one of them is very important to us. After so many years of developing the Pokémon video games, this was a very difficult decision for me. I'd like to make one thing clear: even if a specific Pokémon is not available in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, that does not mean it will not appear in future games. The world of Pokémon continues to evolve. The Galar region offers new Pokémon to encounter, Trainers to battle, and adventures to embark on. We are pouring our hearts into these games, and we hope you will look forward to joining us on this new journey June 28, 2019 Junichi Masuda

I already knew they weren't gonna do shit to change course (the games were the second most pre-ordered titles after E3, they lose nothing no matter what), but the fact that he had the gall to pull the "Just buy the future games you sheeple" line legit pissed me off.

The franchise has officially reached the point where if you're not of the 151 or otherwise popular, there's a high chance you won't be seen again in the main series for a good decade or more. I am done with this franchise. It was fun while it lasted but I'm not going to support this blatant laziness and incompetence anymore.

As I always say: "Too big to fail my ass."
If fans could gut Star Wars to the point of making it lose money for Disney, then damn sure fans can gut the FUCK out of Pokemon.
