You know, I'm now apathetic. Not even sure I want to pirate these games. What's the point? Everybody's going to buy it anyways, they'll sell millions, there will be outrage, Gamefreak will jingle some shiny keys in the fandom's face before the next set of games, everybody will forget, they'll buy, get pissed anew, rinse and repeat

>>40793373 Noticed the decline in XY, and figured they'd realize they had to step things up.
It wasn't until USUM that I realized how naive I was.

People said the same shit about Star Wars. Granted it took literally everything possible going wrong to finally kill that, but isn't that what we're witnessing here?

>>40793463 Do most casuals care though? Does TPCi even care? So long as they get their money, if not from games, then from plushies, cards, etc., then why would it affect them?

I played XY when I was like 17/18 and I was simply offended by the handholding, linearity, and story for literal kindergarteners (that's a given but still worse than before). Haven't really played a game since.

gaming has more pathetic corporate bootlickers than star wars does. nothing will ever make the 15-16 million nu-males who buy these games stop consuming product.

>>40793643 One thing I have realized is that the producers know exactly which parts of the game they should not cut into if they want to keep on selling lots for lower effort. That being the actual main journey. This consists of new designs, the new region and new gimmicks. These three things guarantee at least 15 million sales. They aren’t dumb and they know just what buttons to press to cut costs while simultaneously retaining a large proportion of potential revenue. This isn’t even factoring in the brand loyalist hardcore fans who aren’t disappointed with the series but don’t want to skip the newest instalment. The only real way much change could happen is if they hardcore fans and all content producers just completely ignored the series and if it fell out of popularity. Normies and kids only play what is popular.
