SV was made to get some ESG/DEI points from Blackrock and Vanguard. That's why Paldea was an ugly, Brazilian shit hole with some of the ugliest, most unappealing character designs out there (I know Paldea is supposed to be based off Spain or Mexico, but I felt like I was in Brazil aka Hell). Arwen literally gets shit on by everybody including your character for being a guy who cares about his dog and missing parents while the games forces you to feel bad for that Antifa bitch Penny and her faggot friends (she's an unlikable bitch in the very end). I could go on autistic rants about Nemona. It's not as blunt as the other woke/ESG games we've seen, but it's in there. The Japanese were trashing the character designs, and tbh I expect Z-A or this new Switch game to be even uglier than SV. I know they're going to half-ass it.
Oh yea, I noticed they made merch for other generations besides the more popular ones. I'm not gonna lie: the dolls based off Paldea Pokemon are really cute like Greavard.
