>>37484201>So you are ignoring both official and unofficial word regarding VIII to shill your own doomsday headcanon.no, i'm taking game freak at their word that lgpe is "the bridge to gen 8" and "the foundation for the next 20 years of pokemon." i'm also judging them by their track record of dumbing down their games and removing content, which predates lgpe. and i'm looking at the sales figures, which show that lgpe has already sold 10 million copies despite being an atrocious game that fails on every level.
i would LOVE to be wrong. i would love game freak to suddenly reverse course and start making good games again like they did in the ds era. but everything is pointing to future games being reskins of lgpe. i'm not going to pretend otherwise, since i understand that game freak is a corporation, not my friend, so i don't feel the need to defend them every time they release a trash game.
