>>41737349>playing mobile trash>watching animeAs for the state of the franchise in regards to the mainline games, it's fine. Consumers are just as mindless as they were during the last twenty years, the only difference is now they're consuming things people here don't like, and they think there's been some paradigm shift towards a lower quality product when there really isn't. People consume this product for the same reason they've consumed it all this time: it's Pokemon. If you think there was ever anything more to it than that then you're the one who's mistaken.
