The hate of Pokemon is obvious console warring. Fanboys of Sony/Microsoft that are angry that low budget Nintendo games often outsell their favorite consoles AAA games like Yotei.

There's definitely an element of that, but that's not all there is to it; a lot of the criticism also comes from Nintendo fans who are unsatisfied that the games are so far behind the rest of Ninty's first party catalogue technically.

I agree that recent mainline Pokémon (and Legends) release have been graphically underwhelming. Where I take issue is when people make claims like “consumers are finally rejecting this garbage!!” or “I guess there’s some people with horrible taste who continue consuming this trash,” turning the discussion from one of presentation shortcomings to an objective assertion on a game’s quality, personal attacks, and doom-casting. And they do this without ever citing in what ways the gameplay is trash, further exasterbating the unproductivity and unwarranted negativity of the conversation.
