>>36341847Pokemon was always a shit game. Gamefreak are just a subpar developer. They're in way over their heads trying to develop a console game. Even Red/Blue were trash when compared to the superior monster catching game Dragon Warrior Monsters, a game packed with much more ambition, features and a genuine plot. Gamefreak just got lucky, creating an overly simple game that was easy for children of that generation to grasp. Add in multiplayer that was a rarity at the time and the collection aspect to appeal to the autists, and they had a winner.
Children are much game-savvy nowadays though, when they've been using tablets since they were one years old. The trash games of the past just won't appeal to them, and the nostalgia for the older generation is running out.
