Do you even see the Pokémon only channels now? They're in shambles.
It's funny to see people act like TPC's marketing videos for S/S are supposedly better after June when in reality they're all still worse off than even S/M ones when comparing the same time frames.
But they're not even the thing to look at. Try any big Pokémon primary channel now and if they're not dead, they're dying or scrambling into other games ASAP to prevent their death.
Fucking slow hemorrhage in every instance I've checked just like the entire series itself.
They're the future of the series alright - Gen 9, when Gen 8 does terribly for a Pokémon game, will be more of this shit.
They'll tell us they did what we wanted but clearly we didn't know what we wanted, ignoring the tens of thousands of posts from people telling them it wasn't what "we" wanted and they damn well know it was what THEY wanted and moving forward with plan Let's Go.
And then when it does even worse Gen 10 will either be a full mobileshit OR they'll listen to us... But probably only the worst parts in a last ditch effort releasing some kind of action RPG shit with dating mechanics, and Safari catching, and overworld encounter shit.
And at that point either way there won't be any traditional Gen 11 and Game Freak will never be heard from again except in the credits for Go and Masters.
