Boy am I gonna get crucified for this one...
In a world of people hating on #GameFreak because they made a game with less fictional monsters than before, I am setting out to prove why the Dexit crowd are completely off the rails (and not in a good way). From #BringBackNationalDex to Game Freak's "lies" to #Pokemon Sword and Shield being "unfinished games", this is why the NationalDexers are almost completely misinformed on the issues they attack.
