The silver lining here, is the competitive aspect. Lando-T and Incineroar gone, with those countless broken uber legendaries and megas gone too. Might actually reverse some of the power creep.
Bet with Intrinsic:
The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
