that whole conversation was framed as being about "gamer outrage", #dexit, and all that junk that happens all too often these days (see dark souls 2 lighting, spider-man puddles, or literally every bioware game since da2 being put under a level of scrutiny and nitpicking no other game usually is for more examples), it was less about pokemon specifically or their impressions of that game
there are absolutely genuine complaints to be had about pokemon sw/sh and gamefreak's odd choices regarding the series and they weren't arguing otherwise
