There was definitely a shift after S&M... feel like they were the last games that captured the true essence of Pokemon. 100% do not deserve the amount of hate they get.
Listening takes me back to 2017 where I got Pokemon Moon for Christmas. Brings back so many memories. Also, thanks for adding the Day themes. They're so underated and not in a lot of music mixes.
Despite all the hate the game rightfully got because of its unskippable cutscenes and slow progression, this game was the culmination of 20 years adventure and it couldn't have been better (Except USUM, fuck USUM)
