Pokemon Sword and Shield Credit: Game FreakRemember #Dexit? Without going too much into it: Pokémon fans were angry that Pokémon Sword in Shield would be the first in the long-running franchise not to support every Pokémon from every game, and threatened to boycott. We stopped hearing much about that shortly after the game released, as tends to happen, but now we at least have some numbers to indicate why: everyone was playing an absolute ton of Pokémon Sword and Shield. But with something like Pokémon Sword and Shield, it’s easy to see how this actually shakes out. So next time you see a threat of a boycott, pay attention, but not for the reasons you think.
