>>361768402019 will be the beginning of the end. The GO fans that will buy LGPE won't buy the new games for the same reason they dropped GO: pokemon beyond the original 151. Longtime fans are already starting to jump abandon the ship, not in great numbers to make a difference yet, but when GF inevitably pulls another SM/USUM in 2019 and 2020, it will make a difference. in 2020-2021 pokemon will experience loss of money, and will try to make up for it by releasing shit mobile games which casuals will still not buy because they'll still be butthurt about 2019 for trying to make them aknowledge the existence of anything that's not kanto and long time fans will not bother either. Gen 9 will start in 2022-2023, it will sell bad, and in 2024 GF will pull yet ANOTHER ultra changes as a goodbye game.
