>"but what about the wild area?"What ABOUT the wild area? It's a giant, empty golf course. No dungeons, hidden legendaries to collect, no puzzles, nothing. Sure, there's raid battles, but it's the same shit each time, you can't make that singular concept ALL there is to do there, especially when they're planning on making that the post game too.
I've been avoiding this fact for years, but it's time to acknowledge it, pokemon's dead, and it's time to move on. It doesn't have the benefit mario, zelda, and smash does where they're passion projects from the creators. Pokemon's just a multi billion dollar monster, and they're only going to do just barely enough to make money and launch merchandise, after all, why put in effort when "you'll buy it anyways"?
