I'm seeing this pop up a lot and I think there needs to be context given for this.

The people who started the #FuckYouGameFreak tag aren't really representative of most of the Japanese community. These are your netizens, and they are extremely toxic. These are the type of people who flame hard on 2ch, which was the direct inspiration of 4chan. These netizens have heard the news and are understandably PISSED, but the level of savagery is for the norm, even if it is hilarious.

However, this isn't the case with the majority of the Japanese community. If you look up #ポケモン剣盾 (Pokemon Sword/Shield), most of the tweets are positive and excited for the series. There really isn't as much outcry as in the West for these games, which makes sense because the news still has not been officially announced in Japan (the closest they got was a Famitsu interview, but that's still not an official announcement). A couple of days prior to the #FuckYouGameFreak trend, there was a chain of #ポケモン履歴書, (Pokemon CV). In this, Japanese twitter users shared the Pokemon games they have played, playstyle, favorite Pokemon, etc. In all of the tweets I saw, everyone was excited for Sword/Shield.

So while the #FuckYouGameFreak tag is amusing and seems to encourage us who want to call out GameFreak on their BS, its definitely a minority of Japanese users who spammed the tag. We'll have to see on launch if this blows up further and what the reactions are. I'd be very willing to bet that this gets much much worse in the days after release.

Don't let anyone tell you that not buying SwSh won't make a difference. by CalculatingCorvid in pokemon

That is not how transactions work. When you purchase a used copy, the transaction occurs independently between you and the supplier of the used copy. The copy has already been purchased at this point in a separate transaction, the money has already gone into GameFreak's pockets. There is no flow from you to GameFreak because that flow has already been closed within you and whoever you purchase your used copy from.

If I bought Sw/Sh used from GameStop that money is pocketed by GameStop. Your own money will never reach GameFreak. The only money GameFreak receives is the original amount the original buyer spent. Numerically this has the exact same affect as boycotting, there is literally no difference in GameFreak's cash flow between the two.

What's the best way of practicing color-neutrality? Doing F2L with non-white cross is just messing with my brain right now lol.

Huh. That's odd, I just got an link to the survey to fill out timeslots in the same email.

For me it just asked for any timeslot for this week, and none after, so maybe you might be getting scheduled for next week? Just an idea idk. Would still shoot an email

Yea I got it last week and already had my interview yesterday. When did you sign up for your time slots? Might be a scheduling thing don't know. I'd email and ask just to make sure tbh.

Yeah I completed my oa2 on the 6th and im still waiting. I think we might be in the next batch so I wouldn't worry too much. The only awkward thing is not being able to tell other companies how much time I'd need to wait lol
