>>27582174>>27582222>>27582229Not going to lie, I've been here since day one, and as much as I love me some new Mons, I can't help but get ready to be disappointed by the realism of the situation.
>less than one year in between S&M release and the NX, which is also getting """a""" pokemon game>Alolan forms, although unique and interesting ways to go about rehashing, is still just that, rehashing>No definite dex number yet, but from what we've seen so far GF is running out of ideas for 'new' monI'm stoked as hell for S&M, and plan to make it my first pre-order game that I can play from launch, as I don't care much about any other title enough to let it affect my life in that way, but Pokemon is something I've always been behind on because of money, or just being out of the loop
But now, thanks to /vp/ I can shoot the shit and partake in the hype with strangers and speculate the direction one of my favorite companies overall is taking its product.
Sorry if my realism triggered you're fears, but all in all it was only a part of analyzing the "two mainline games less than 12 months apart" meme
It would make sense for GF to not waste the resources they'll need for a later, more crucial release on an entirely new platform on a guaranteed day one buy for most people because dank memes.
Like I said, it would explain why they TPC sold the rights to the first 151 to Niantic, despite Niantic not necessarily being the best programmers in the industry right now. Above all else Pokemon Go and the 20th Anniversary hype going on right now have gotten people excited about Pokemon again. Excited enough to drop some dosh on a new mainline game that, while refreshing, isn't as deep as the other mainline games to be released on that same platform(DS/3DS), for the sole purpose of content = $$$ and the more $$$ being spent on one of the last mainline games for the current platform = less money that can be invested on the following release on a brand new console...
