My initial thoughts on this game were mostly negative and I think it's because I didn't quite get the message but the more I think about it this might be one of the most lonely feeling games I've ever played.

Finding the room with Tajiri was surreal in a way that's hard to describe, but mostly I felt... disappointed? Like returning to the joy that the original pokemon games gave me as a kid was infinitely far away and unreachable. Tajiri doesn't have time for you. Just take another game and get the hell out of here. You're not meant to be a part of this. You're meant to buy our stuff without question for the rest of eternity. Now leave.
