All over the internet lately, I can't enjoy Pokemon content without seeing dozens of posts and articles about the many problems of Sword and Shield.
And I've never been happier to be in this wonderful community.
Ever since I started playing Reborn about 2 years ago, I noticed how well done it was. From the deep and perhaps emotionally touching story, to the sometimes frustrating yet fun gym battles, Reborn was, in my opinion, far better than any main series title.
And now, with Sword/Shield out, I've been able to see what Reborn does better in a million more ways. It kind of saddens me how the main series community is upset about Gen 8's issues, but most people seem to think there's no solid option for a quality Pokemon game without replaying the older ones.
Sword and Shield have some cool new stuff, on the positive side, and this post isn't meant to complain about it, just bring light to the fact that the games weren't what a lot of people wanted. If you're enjoying the games, pay no attention to the negativity and have a good time. (i mean if the games have weavile and rotom that's already pretty great.)
All this makes me want to go on Pokemon communities everywhere and tell them about Reborn, because lots of people were excited for the new games, but they overall didn't receive what they were expecting.
So, with that being said, thank you Ame, Cass, Marcello and everyone else on the Reborn team for your hard work and amazing game! And another thank you to this great community, that always seems to have fun and help one another out.
Peace!

TLDR Reborn is made by a team of dedicated people who want to deliver a fun experience. They aren't a massive company, yet they made (and are still working on) a game that's infinitely better than anything Game Freak will ever make.
