>>38976996My only guess as to why he did it was so they could let everyone seethe now and keep dropping new information to draw people back in as November approaches. It's why they're ignoring the outrage and pretending nothing is wrong.
I also get the feeling that they truly are totally out of touch with their audience. These past few games have been nothing but "we want kids to like pokemon again!" but the main audience is people who started out with gens 1-4 and are getting older now (20s-30s) but still love games. Actual kids are more interested in Fortnite, Splatoon 2, FNAF, Roblox, etc.
Detective Pikachu only did so well in the theaters because they changed up the plot from the mamby pamby child-friendly 3DS game to something with more grit.
>they revealed two new Pokémon in the demo and no one gave a fuckBecause they're both ugly as sin. Letting James Turner lead a design team for anything was a huge fucking mistake when his designs are easily some of the most hated of all time.
