So how do you guys feel about your franchise having a high chance of being turned into mobile garbage for normies since that makes far more money than the regular games? How do you feel about having over 60% of the property's value come from merchandise and not games?

Game Freak knows they are losing relevance within the Pokemon company so they are not even trying anymore and handing the new games to inexperienced developers that can't even reference textures or character models so they need to copy and paste them into every single map of the game instead of referencing one. It's part incompetence and part indifference.

TOWN is all they care about and that's where all the effort and passion is going, Pokemon hasn't been good since Gen 5 and is turning into a shell of it's former self as the Pokemon Company shills the franchise for normies.
Not that fans of the actual games aren't normies as well since their standards for RPGs are so low that they wow at dynamic camera angles and non-grid based movement, and fucking "It just gets bigger", and are ok with incompetent animation shit balancing, removal of actually good features that game freak only considered gimmicks and buying the games anyway even though they are shit willingly cucking themselves, all while the franchise is being cucked by it's own fans with Yo-Kai Watch and Digimon as people realize Pokemon has been behind the standards for RPGs ever since they left the Game Boy Advance.

Could it be any worse for you guys?
