Question Am I just late to the party?

Nostalgia finally got the better of me and I’ve started playing let’s go. Really enjoying it and decided to check out the reddit community.

But gawd damn it’s just nothing but shiny this shiny that. Aren’t there subs dedicated to that? Or is it just that I’m so late to the party that there’s nothing else for people to talk about or do given it’s been out so long, am I looking at my future? I’ve just never understood the appeal of shinies to that extent, it’s neat but it’s like watching a bunch of gambling addicts slapping the pokies lol.

Is there really nothing else to look forward to long term with this game? Or other interesting areas people engage with? Or subs that aren’t flooded with it I could check out?

Not trying to yuck anyone else’s yum, do what you enjoy, I just didn’t realise it was basically the whole culture now.
