This controversy is delicious. Normalfags finally realizing that this series is overrated trash, and Nintendo finally realizing that their drone fans are actually sentient and that they can't get away with selling mediocrity forever.

How are Switchlets ever going to recover from this backlash? Pokemon was supposed to be sacred!!!

This could've been a fucking masterpiece, but since they don't care about the franchise anymore... They just want to fuck it it up.

Pokémon go
Pokémon masters
Tencent developing a mobile Pokémon game

At this point the mainline games is B tier when it comes to revenue.

Whether sword and shield sells 12 million or 16 million. The Pokémon brand will be making billions in mobile games

Dumb thing is this was their opportunity to attach the brand to an entire new generation of kids who bought the Switch to play Fortnite

Do kids even like Pokemon anymore? I don't think so

You know the real reason they're doing dexit is solely for money. They want to take away all those Pokemon and make putting them back in as a feature for an enhanced version or remake. It's not graphics or anything like that, it's just a way to sell third versions and remakes.

Granted.
GF gets replaced by EA: the full dex is back and the graphics look really good, but you have to find the rest of the dex pokemon that aren't in Galar.inside lootboxes or pay for each and every one.
Also, TMs are consumables again, and you can buy them on the shop with real money after you used your only one per game.

So how badly will this board meltdown when this game sells well? I thought everyone knew it was going to, but posts like this one make me think some here actually believe their own bullshit and think Sword/Shield is going to be a commercial flop.

Yeah Sakurai hates mechanics that fans enjoy. He'd turn Pokemon into more of a FF clone at first if anything, before scrapping that entirely and slowing it down even more.

The thing is that the mainline games are mainline for a reason. They're the central gear that keeps the entire Pokémon franchise machine running, and if that gear breaks then it's only a matter of time before the rest of the franchise starts to collapse. Just look at what happened to Star Wars.

100,000 twitter fags, anons, and redditors don't mean shit to gamefreak who will make bank on the name alone. And little Jimmy isn't gonna care because all he does is level up his starter and the box legendary before forgetting about the game for 8 years then remembering it and picking it up for that sweet sweet 2020 nostalgia high.
