[42 / 3 / ?]
I wonder how much content could gamefreak cut before they had a substantial loss of sales. They could remove all the gyms, the league, rival fights, the gts (woops, they've already put it behind a paywall), have barely 50 new pokemon, no battle facility, make it impossible to lose (more than it already is) and you would have millions of drones sucking gamefreak's cock, 9/10 gaming reviews, and people saying stuff like "cutting x content actually makes it original :))))))" This fanbase is full of absolutely braindead drones who would buy a turd if it had the brand pokemon on it. It's not surprise gamefreak are a bunch of kikes who treat their fans like shit, they totally deserve it. They should put the league or the gyms behind a paywall in their next games So, what do you think would be the turning point?

>>41139718 It's really hard to tell right now. Maybe if they release a game where you can catch a single pokemon could at least reduce the sales to a half?

>>41139718 They're going to keep towing that line to find out what that limit is. They're not the most profitable media franchise for no reason.

>>41139718 Let's Go sold over 10 million with only 150 pokemon and withholding the ability to battle wild ones. I'm going to say that Pokemon fans have the lowest standards of any fanbase on the planet and the quality could plummet as low as you can imagine without affecting sales.

>>41139718 Pokémon is too big. Parents will always see the name alone and buy it for their children, they won't see or care about any controversies surrounding the game. They'd eventually lose the entirety of their hardcore audience, but it wouldn't be an issue by any means.

The only way to receive some backlash is if the the localisation team accidentally forgets to censor some "problematic" line. Or the devs accidentally saying something inappropriate on some interview maybe not even related to the game. Literally nothing else could possibly hurt pokemon.

The braindead worshipping fanbase will suck his dick on the spot for that.

I think the only thing they could do to cute sales at this point is not to put out a game.

>>41141311 This basically just says you can send out a trade request and keep playing until the other party answers (based on leaks, uses link codes but can also connect with someone randomly) and there's surprise trade (wonder trade 2.0). Neither of those are really a replacement for GTS.

Pokémon fans just buy the newest games. They don't think. They just consume. They do not care.

>>41139718 I'm still kinda fuzzy on the details about the online connectivity of this game. So the GTS is confirmed missing but Wonder Trade is back? Wasn't there also some connectivity in the wild area, or is that just for people on your friends list?

>>41141121 Eventually the brand reputation could be damaged if enough complaining is done. I honestly think quite poetically, what brought the series to fame in the first place: word of mouth and the people themselves could be what leads to the downfall of the series if Game Freak, TPC and Nintendo aren’t careful. Nothing is too big to fail, but that doesn’t mean it will equally.
