>>36744809>no idea why the fuck gf is suddenly so scared of letting people do creative stuff with their IP, not like pokemon could ever possibly fail at this point anywayNo clue what goes on in their heads, but I assume they probably don't care anymore or have no reason to continue making them since they probably know they can get away with making botched mainline titles to rake in just as much money or more. I truly miss Gen 3 - 5 though. It was the peak of the franchise honestly and it felt like they still cared. It's just been downhill since the 3DS era and onward happened for some reason. If we got another era of spinoffs and great games like that again, I'd go back to playing Pokemon as usual in a heartbeat.
