Anyone else disappointing in the huge wasted potential that is the pokemon franchise? You got this super awesome concept with so many possibilities but GF is so stuck with making their games so formulaic and shallow.

There's plenty of other games with similar concepts.

Also, isn't it amazing how successful this franchise is for being so "formulaic and shallow"?

With Sun and Moon coming out this has been on my mind a lot. I personally blame the oversaturation of legendary pokemon and how often Game Freak has been putting out unconnected regions and stories. At least in Gen 2 it was original while still being an extension of the story that took place in Gen 1 in a lot of ways. The new games feel like a lot of half-developed ideas that get shoved aside when they decide to put out the next generation.

Felt that way with Gen 6 especially. Gen 7 isn't looking like it'll try to be much different but we can only hope.

I completly agree. But partcharm of Pokemon is that it's so shallow and there is always place to talk about it.

>No book that explains Pokemon lore some more
(because they just create bits not a full story)
>Not making each Pokemon unique and matching it's pokedex entry
>Not making Pokemon natures something that influences how and what moves Pokemon uses
>Not moving foward te story of places we love instead of remakes. (New Red/Green/Blue) that happens after B/W 2
