>>42254>Honestly, I lost interest in the anime after the infamous XYZ meltdowns and subsequent Sun and Moon seethe.I had time to kill a couple years ago and so I decided to pick up Pokemon Violet and give it a try. I'd heard it had the same open-world gameplay as SWSH but had refined it, and honestly I had wanted a Pokemon game like that since gen 1 so I was pretty excited.
So I get playing, and eventually I get to the Ghost gym/city. The city itself was only nominally ghost-related, which was disappointing but I thought whatever. Then I went to the gym, and rather than it being anything related to ghost pokemon for some reason there's this black person who is all like "Ash Ketchum I challenge you to a rap battle muh fuggin bix nood."
Nu Pokemon is so disappointing and I highly recommend staying away from it. Absolutely nothing is sacred and beyond the grasp of American globohomo
