Welcome to the wonderful world of Pokemon, you're here forever! Pokemon began as a monster collector video game and has since evolved into the biggest media franchise in human history. Despite the enourmous fanbase and profits, Pokemon games are the laughingstock of the industry, with graphics and gameplay decades behind the standard. Step after step in the right direction, and still nothing to show for it almost 8 years after Pokemon limped onto the Nintendo Switch...

If the Pokemon series is such a mess, why do I keep making videos about it..? How long can this go on...?!
