The Pokémon series and brand has continued to grow in popularity to absurd heights with of course more and more critique on the Pokémon games specifically this hit a whole new high after the release of Pokémon Sword and Shield hashtags flew everywhere gamefreaklied, bringbacknationaldex, thankyougamefreak it was quite the year to say the least but overall I think it was very helpful to bring these problems that have been boiling in Pokémon for the last few years the biggest problem being the downfall of Pokémon from gen 1 - 5 (kanto, Johto, hoenn, sinnoh, unova) to 6-8 (kalos,alola,galar) this has been disected in so many ways but one aspect I feel hasn't been talked about is how the region design of these games which too many is one of the most important parts of what makes the series so great has especially fallen off in the move to the 3D era so today I spend way too long talking about that problem hope you enjoy love you smooches
