Perhaps this is why the recent reveal of Mega Dragonite in Pokémon Legends: Z-A hasn’t sat well with at least some of the fandom: the souped-up version of the tangerine wyvern is as cute as it is goofy.

Just after the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, I wrote about how, despite the tremendous amount of FOMO, I, like so many gamers, felt the Nintendo Switch 2 wasn’t a necessary purchase just yet.
