>to believe it was going to be set in the past
I didn't say anything about the past specifically. Future could have been just as interesting.
>but the game does take place in the future!
If you wanna be pedantic, the game takes place several years after XY, so yes, it is technically the "future"... but as mentioned in
>>58474542, the "future" aspect of the game is trivial. In essence, it still takes place in modern times. All other mainline games take place in modern times, why make a game (PLA) that breaks the mold by finally letting us explore a region in a drastically different time period only to backpedal in the next fucking iteration? Of course I'm not assuming they'll never do a Legends game set in the distant past or future again, but Kalos has enough lore to warrant being seen in a completely different light. What a fucking waste.
>as everyone with their head in reality recognises that GF is a shit company that does respect consistency at all
But yes, I will concede that expecting that disgrace of a company to make something consistent and interesting was retarded in the first place.
