>>38037822>And read my posts again because that's exactly the fucking point. Sega had it all but eventually it all came crashing down on them, not right away mind you. And here we circle back to my initial point, Sonic never held a position of dominance among mascot platformers, in fact it came about in an era where the market was saturated with them. Pokemon is not in the same position in its niche.
>It still sells, and EA is the only one who's selling them Pokemon is the only monster collection game as far as normies are concerned. Yes, it's bullshit.
>Then you should know how a name can be tainted and how a company can crash and burn if they're too comfortable. EA isn't dead yet, so clearly I don't.
>Not what is basically the same fucking game, but with a different monster on the cover. No, they just buy the same fucking game, but with a different soldier on the cover instead.
>Because the industry doesn't learn a goddamn thing from its mistakes, and only doubles down on them.Shit sucks.
>It is. That's what I'm talking about, I don't want Pokemon to follow that fate.I don't think it will, I think they'll keep playing it safe and just do what they've always done. Not that that's too much better, I guess.
>I know. That's what makes this all so frustrating.Preaching to the choir.
>It's both, paradoxically enough. It's worked so far because Pokemon has always been a handheld series, and handheld games have always been cheaper than console games.People buy year sports and shooters for their kids at the $60 pricetag + DLC and online fees, I fail to see how this is different.
>I know. And it disgusts me.Preaching, choir, etc.
>Deep down, I know you and me just want what's best for the franchise, I'm just afraid of what will happen if we all just stand idly byThey can't hear us over the casuals. Best we can do is not buy the shitty games. I didn't buy LGPE, and if SS doesn't meet a minimum standard for me, I'm not buying them, either.
