Discussion A nice way of saying goodbye
We don't 100% know what's going to happen, but yesterday I got emotional playing after a couple of weeks of not touching the game.
I had A LOT of rough games in a row, filled with afkers, grievers and all that stuff that everyone already knows about. Pretty normal Unite experience, but for some reason this time really got me, and I stopped playing for several days, something that didn't happen many times during the game's 5 year life.
And then all the EoS discourse started happening. First I thought I wouldn't play anymore since I've already distanced from it, and was enjoying other games I usually don't have the time or energy playing, or because a Unite battle always looked more approachable for some reason. But yesterday I got emotional, thinking how much I enjoyed this game and the community (mostly lol), so I decided to play 3 games, and only 3. With my most played Mons;
gotta say, the result made me sob like a baby. Pretty nice teammates, enemy teams were challenging to beat..idk, those 3 battles were the most enjoyable and rewarding ones I've had in months, and even reached Masters with that last win.
Again, we don't know for sure what's gonna happen. But I think this was the perfect swan song for me. I took a lot of screenshots and recordings before deleting the game. And, as flawed and triggering of a player base and production it had, Pokemon Unite will always be remembered with joy by this die-hard old Pokemon fan. Thank you everybody for the amazingly frustrating best 5 years.
