In the wake of the AI content conversation happening in the Pokemon space recently, I think @drewisgooden captured my thoughts perfectly.
Human creativity cannot be manufactured nor engineered. It's okay if your first try at something isn't great; it probably won't be.
If nobody is going to say it I will. Capitalism is ruining pokemon. Late stage capitalism always leads to monopolies and worse products. Multi-billion dollar company, a franchise worth more than marvel or star wars can't handle the server capacity for 6v6 single battles?
America has spent literally every second of this presidency letting us know immigrants and first generations are not American and can be removed at their whim and want to complain about people moving accordingly.
