>>56782530Yeah at this point all the good will and nostalgia waves have run their course. Gimmicks have gotten old and stale. The new pokemon and characters are all FOTM with no staying power. Nobody watches the anime anymore. Merch sales are down. The fandom is more jaded than ever and normies don't give a shit about pokemon anymore. Unless gen 10 does something major to revive the hype, Pokemon is gonna go the way of Digimon and Yokai Watch.
