No, the hate is rooted is in how the games kept getting worse and worse while Game Freak actively spat in their core fans' faces with things like "The Battle Frontier has started!" and LGPE. Then Game Freak said nah don't worry about LGPE, the next game will be for core fans where we really try. That game was not only the worst mainline game at the time, they revealed before launch they cut half the Pokemon out of the game completely, lying through their teeth about it with excuses like "we lost the models and had to recreate them" and "we did it to improve the quality of everything else", which were not only obvious lies at the time but were definitively revealed to be complete lies at release. The real reason was so they could sell you old Pokemon as part of their DLC packs. And somehow it's only gone even more downhill since then, with the games getting visually, technically, artistically and playably worse. The only way you could think the hate for current Pokemon is manufactured is if you joined the internet yesterday, you're a troll, or you're one of the biggest corporate bootlickers to ever exist. In any case, fuck you.
