>>49217704Alienation is a factor because the games themselves are shit, If you strip away the "recognizable brand whimsy and fanfare" and play the games for what they are you would quickly realize they're just shitty kickstarter indie game-tier rehashes of the same tried and true pokemon formula.
The moment Game Freak actually tries to do something different and put some effort in developing their games we get shit like Little Town Hero, a creatively bankrupt kiddy game that is boring as hit to play and with the graphics of a bootleg chinese android game.
