Why is the story so unpleasant and dark and forced? Remember

The fun died with XY along with the genocide angle.

the best story. i'm thrust into this vast world filled with creatures I can capture, and train until they're godly, so I can become the champion

you can't get any better than that

We need to go darker. We need a mainline game more edgy than Colosseum.

>remember when the game had no story or had some garbage ass excuse of it featuring the gayest chracters ever
Good thing they finally made a pokemon game with decent enough story, too bad shitters like you will never understand

Pokemon has always been a bit dark if you look hard enough

>>31433895
Yeah because team rocket killing pokémon (marowak), chopping off slowpoke and ratticate tails (before it was retconned that slowpoke's grows back) and carrying whips around was so fun and fucking cheerful. Moron.

>>31433895
Because that's more interesting.
The story in the previous games has (besides being almost always the same), been really plain and with very little characterization.

Also there was already a bit of darkness here and there.

XY was comfy and the plot barely existed.

Pokemon has always been a fun adventure
Donyou think a dark plot and adventure arent mutually exclusive?
