>>36671095Fucking bullshit, the reason those games aren't being made anymore is because they never held much of a playerbase to begin with.
The real reason why Pokemon is failing to retain it's fanbase, it's because it stopped on carrying the good things from the previous games and building forward.
Gen 2 gave us the night/day concept, berries, dark/steel and baby pokemons and breeding
Gen 3 gave us double battles, ability, plant berries
Gen 4 gave us evolutions to lots of pokes that didn't have it, making them more ''complete'' without feeling forced, toyed around the 3D in some areas, special/physical split, pokemons walking outside.
While keeping everything that we loved about Pokemon and it's classic style.
Then outta nowhere they dropped everything good we were building up to:
>Start on forcing the 3D meme despite nobody ever complaining about the pokemon graphics or sprites.>Add Mega evolutions, which was obviously greedy move looking at short term profit with the children/sóyboy market without giving a shit about the long-term of the franchise>Change a whole tribe of pokemon to a new type, as a ''slap in the face'' of the previous gens, trying to yell at everybody ''LOOK AT ME I'M NEW AND UPDATED MOVE ON FROM PLAYING THAT OLD UNOPTIMIZED SHIT''The problem of modern Pokemon, is that it got too greedy for it's own good and of course it won't die since theres always kids that discovered Pokemon 6 months ago and think it's the best shit ever.
But it's losing mature players in the long term for sure since most people hate the idea of supporting a franchise that at any moment will just drop classic solid concepts to adopt a new ones outta their nowhere just to appeal to the children market.
