    The camera on the new Pokémon is so bad. Why is it constantly drifting and so choppy??? What's the point of a Freeview camera if it forcefully changes the camera position when I move

    @CharlotteCGill The 20-somethings would not say that, they know UK's senior citizens who rely on a state pension, need pension credit, do not have Netflix, they have Freeview instead, never buy expensive coffees or food outside their home.

    @Lottesometimes Yep I'm streaming my games to my phone from my home network. I have a freeview tuner hooked up to my network, so can watch normal channels live anywhere I want when out and about.
