>>36300260You know what the funniest thing actually is? That it won't be a thing.
Plenty of games have hints etc. through out it. The fact that Game Freak wants us to give a fuck but will literally never continue plot points etc. is part of the problem.
And not just for us, so that continuity gets fucked, but because it comes back to not leaving players with your trust. If you don't follow up on things that are even outright plot points, then people have no reason to give a fuck about anything you do.
US/UM/LGP/LGE is a perfect example of this.
A redone Kanto using TRR Giovanni which they outright made a point of showing was still on the dimensional loose would've made sense but no, old Kanto with 4 core features removed, 80% of the characters that matter removes, and the same old story with more handholding as ouright stated by them already.
What the fuck was the point of getting people invested on what for any other devs would be a "to be continued"? It was a complete waste of fucking time to care about any of that.
It's like if a show did a cliff hanger for the season finale and then the next episode happened like the last one never happened. You'd be angry and/or confused and drop the fucking show after complaining.
And that's all fucking Masuda led Game Freak knows how to fucking do.
Even though continuing things would mean people are more likely to stick around because they're fucking invested in what's going on.
Game Freak has eternally been doing thmselves in by not keeping up with them-fucking-selves.
