"Removing the GTS is probably the most numbskull decision they could've made"

Only excuse I might take for it would be they're not familiar with Switch tech enough to bring it back yet.Beyond that though - the GTS made Pokemon so much more accessible to those who maybe didn't have a gob of friends with tons of free time to just meet up and trade. Pretty sure it boosted the amount of people interested in Pokemon at the time it was introduced, too. It is just astounding that someone at GameFreak thought this was a wise idea to cut from the game - it literally is like being asked by your school to stop using the Internet for research in this digital age and go back to the library and thumb through the musty encyclopedias for a report. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2O04o2j
