"Pokemon.. has changed. It's no longer about national dexes, memories, or catching em all. It's an endless series of yearly releases made by corporations and machines. Pokemon, and its consumption of money, has become a well-oiled machine. Pokemon has changed. Smartphones with Google and Pokemon Go use Google+. Algorithms inside their games enhance and regulate their abilities. Power control, information control, emotion control... franchise control. Everything is monitored and kept under control. Pokemon - has changed. The age of fun has become the age of religion. All in the name of averting financial loss from Fan outrage. And he who controls money, controls the industry. Pokemon has changed... When the fanbase is under total control, Pokemon becomes routine."

It's over, what Pokemon was all about is now dead

Looks like this was inevitable, but why? Why the fuck didn't they just stay true to what it once was?

This is the end:
Pokemon will become the new Disney in terms of cranking shit out,
/vp/ will fill up with normie smartphone users and, worst of all, the quality of the core games will get so low that Pokemon will go completely mobile and become a media empire

Thanks for all the good times, now all we can do is watch /vp/, the soul of Pokemon and Pokemon in general due before our eyes

I must go to better places

Farewell, Pokemon. You did good.
