No, keep that shit in free to play games

I refuse to buy any game with loot boxes or any form of microtransactions on sheer principle.

GF/Nintendo aren't that retarded as to put that shit in the games, they print money as it is, no need to draw the backlash over LB's onto them for the sake of a few extra hundred dollars.

I'm against lootboxes but this is a retarded argument. It's the exception,not the rule.

Zelda and Mario will sell amazingly regardless of what they do.

There is nothing in pokemon that can be used in lootboxes.... unless we get massive customisable options, then it's likely, since getting pokemon from lootboxes is weird, and medicines or pokeballs aren't something i would pay 1 buck for.

Maybe if we can't get pokebank soon they will sell us "egg lootboxes" with random eggs from pokemon not in the game, i see that as possible

Reminder that Pokémon is a kid's game, anon (as evidenced by removal of Game corner post Gen IV as Nintendo/GF wanted a "Everyone" rating worldwide and gambling in pokémon precludes that). They're NOT going to put lootboxes into a kid's game, they're not EA.

I wonder why they haven't made a pokemon gatcha game by now. If a no name series like fire emblem could make mad dosh daily from it, you'd think the highest grossing video game franchise of all time with a focus on unique characters/monsters would make a killing.

Not a fucking hope And certainly not if the EU finds its teeth and rules LB's gambling, PEGI'll have no choice but follow the laws and regulations in place and mark Pokémon as 12 or higher. As I already said, they removed the Game Corner WORLDWIDE, rather than block it out in the EU to comply with PEGI ratings, they WON'T add lootboxes to Pokémon because they won't risk ageing Pokémon higher than "Everyone".

If they implement DLC as a way to release event Pokemon, or mythicals, PROVIDED it includes event story missions, I would be alright with that.

There's no point in asking if pokemon should have them, because pokemon WILL have them.
It's guaranteed, the only thing that is up to debate is how long it will take until it happens.

Nintendo and co. are always late to adopt new trends from the rest of the video game market, but they always do in the end, paid online being the most recent example.

Adding lootboxes to pokemon that have something like a 0.01% chance to drop a shiny legendary would be literally free money for them with absolutely no downsides so they will do it, they're just slow to adapt, that's all.
