GN Version 5.0

Pokemon Co. and Game Freak can't seem to catch a break lately with Pokemon Sword & Shield. News of the game not including all previous Pokemon has sent fans into a frenzy, and now they're out to hunt down anything/everything that enrages them. The latest findings point to reused animations in Sword and Shield, which characters having movements that appear to be ripped straight from titles like Pokemon Sun and Moon.

Games reusing animations from previous installments isn't really all that new, but fans were expecting a bit more for the series' first mainline jump to consoles. Is this sort of revelation a deal-breaker for you?
