The fact I know next to nothing about gens 8 and upwards makes this interesting in a different way.
Viewing post in Marnie's Moment - Beta release for my next game comments
I am happy to report that I wrote this with the idea that some players won't know or care about Marnie or anything from SwSh, but might still want to play it just because it's a pokemon thing. If I did it right, you shouldn't feel lost or confused. (But by all means please let me know if you feel like some Gen 8 crap went over your head so I can either fix it or explain it better)
