Honestly, they should have gone with a new protagonist when they changed the art style and tightened the focus of their target audience on younger viewers; would have felt a lot less insulting that way.

So is this seen as a general Pokemon thread now? Because I initially created it to complain about Pokemon Sword & Shield. I'm not really sure what a Twith thot getting C&Ded by Nintendo has to do with that. Not that I'm against breathing new life into this thread, and there doesn't seem to be...

Gamefreak didn't have 5 years to make Sword and Shield; development on the games began in autumn of 2016. Which means they had a little over 3 years; same as they had for Sun and Moon, as well as X and Y. No, time was not the issue here; not when you consider that they openly admitted they...

There's a couple of points where one could argue the games in this franchise jumped the shark; with the main ones being the release of Pokemon X and Y, and Pokemon GO. The former has to do with the lackluster reception Pokemon Black and White, as well as their sequels, had received; as they...

So Pokemon is going to have DLC. Now we have our answer for why they chose to cut the National Dex; because they want to sell it to us piecemeal. To hell with this franchise.

So; Pokemon Sword and Shield has come out, and people have had enough time to collect their thoughts on the finished product. There are those who would have claimed these are the best games ever, and those who would have claimed that they're the worst, regardless of the final result; but the...

Perhaps, but they're quality of life improvements that Gamefreak apparently can't be bothered to implement.

So yeah; Sword and Shield have been leaked, and data miners have confirmed that the models used for the Pokemon are the same as the ones made for X and Y. It's official; Gamefreak blatantly lied when they said that they had to get rid of the National Dex, because they were creating all new...

I haven't tried it myself yet, but apparently you can also catch every single Pokemon from generations one through six in a single playthrough, without having to do any trading. The plot is also promised to be far more complex than what you'd find in an official Pokemon game made by Gamefreak...

Are you talking about Pokemon as a franchise, or Pokemon as a genre? Because if they actually put effort into it, either could warrant sequels. There's actually a fan game I've been interested in trying; Pokemon Insurgence. I've heard really good things about it; particularly that it's basically...

Perhaps, but I wanted to give an example that was far more recent. But man; they've really been coasting on the one idea they had that got popular for a long time, haven't they?

There's been some speculation that the runaway success of Pokemon Go led The Pokemon Company to devalue the mainline games made by Gamefreak, which caused the latter to focus most of their efforts on creating a new IP they have sole control over. People have also begun to notice that Gamefreak...

The National Dex is far from being unsustainable; they just don't want to put in more than the bare minimum effort required to make these games. Either that, or there's a plan to use it as a selling point for the inevitable upgraded versions of the games, later down the road; which itself...

The second video gives more context, but the Regional Dex is the Pokemon available to the player before post-game. In most previous games, once you beat the main story, you gained access to the National Dex, and some sort of method that would allow you to acquire or transfer Pokemon that were...

As said in the video, this is less than what the previous two generations had in their Regional Dex; and considering the fact that they've already said the new games are not going to have a National Dex, this is unacceptable. For those of you who haven't been paying attention, this is just the...
