>>23481818I think Gen VI features a shift in targeted audience rather than a lack of ideas. There's ideas, lots of them, but the majority of them aren't ideas that the original consumer wanted.
>R/S gym leader teams>Battle Maison in Hoenn>Wonder Trade(a gimmick that is sometimes amusing but otherwise pointless)>Megas for already OU Pokemon because they're popular>Able to catch many old legendaries with relative ease>a big group of friends who are "quirky" (he's fat and dances!)A lot of these are intended for a younger audience that GF thinks need hand-holding or thinks want to play mobile games instead. I think most of us were intrigued by megas at first because they would make UU Pokemon viable(or at least try to), but then we got mostly popular or mainstream Pokemon getting megas like Lucario, Charizard(2 fucking megas), Mewtwo, and Garchomp.
