I want to know, why do fans still have faith in this series?

>lack luster game after lack luster game has been produced since who knows when

>a competitive scene ruled by invisible stats and time
consuming breeding mechanics

Who thought that this was a good idea?

>static sprites until fifth gen
mystery dungeon had limited animations and walk cycles
for every Pokemon at the time, because of their slightly larger staff.

>graphical standards have been below par since gen 3
See above

>fact that Pokemon box and ranch exist
Cash grabs

>whenever a different developer than gamefreak gets a hold of the ip they are leagues better than the original series
dungeon
nobunaga's yabou

>other monster series with better graphics and systems get underlooked because of the pokemon brand name

dragon warrior monsters
jade coocoon
and magic pengel come to mind

>also the fact that fan projects are better than the actual game is honestly pathetic


Why do fans still tolerate this? If this was any other series and they didn't have the backing of nintendo gamefreak would have been toast years ago.
