>refuses to make a Pokemon-Lite Mobile Game and instead chooses to severely casualize and dumb down the current games as a borderline senile Masuda has a firm belief that this will allow them to "compete" with the mobile market
>then make Pokemon-Lite on Switch
>said game completely alienates any audience possible other than Japanese Children; veterans because it's a fucking joke, genwunners because it has things like Mega Evolution that tarnish the Gen 1 Name, normalfags because they demand you pay at the bare minimum $360 USD (+$50 USD for Poke Ball Plus, +$20 USD a year for online features, +$5 USD a year for PokeBank so you can transfer your shit to the next game) just to get started and everyone else for other reasons
>their only ACTUAL mobile games are a generic puzzle game, a reboot for the failed Trading Figure Game, Pokemon Quest which has nothing going for it except Gen 1 Appeal that will be lost eventually just like GO, and Magikarp Jump which is just a fun cute little timewaster that you absolutely don't need to spend for
What the fuck is even going on at GameFreak anymore?
