Ishihara stated in a private meeting with investors this week:

"We at the Pokémon Company plan for Sword & Shield to be the final console Pokémon games. Our market research indicates that mobile gaming is the best path to ensure Pokémon's continued future success."

Oh no...

This is how asia works. Commutes by bullet trains and no time to play video games because they all slave away at work because of the way their culture works. It's just life, they want convenience and simple games to open up on their 5-10 min rides and be done with it, people don't have time for shit anymore and less and less kids are interested in consoles in Japan, let alone being born.

If you want things to change, then change Japan and China.

No, this is good. Look at Star Wars Disney. What was once a cash cow of easy money is now faltering heavily because they think they can just shit out a product with no real effort so the movies will be going on hold until they get their shit together. Pokemon needs the same and that isn't going to happen until they start losing money and realize what the actual problem is, themselves and how they're running things.

The difference is Disney thought the fanboys who push the franchise would suck whatever shit they threw and upset the applecart.
You niggers aren't central or key to anything this franchise operates, so they don't have to worry about upsetting you lot as much as disney do over SW.

I just want muh Pokemon that has improved gameplay and balance alongside better stories. Gimmicks are alright and I’ll even backpeddle on shit talk towards mechas in that they let you literally have an ace-mon to whip out. The dynamics of the whole thing can be improved upon. The technology IS there, and I know it’s silly to say “game freak try harder,” and I can see why people AREN’T upset, but there’s definitely room for improvement that comes at no detriment only benefit

I used to play FIFA, I'll admit. '03 was the last I played, years following they moved from the arcade-style gameplay to a morte "realistic" focused one. Glad I'd dropped it, I'd legit be pissed if I needed to pay an online sub AND pay for teams/players they used to code into the game as a norm.

Kids aren't as stupid as you think, dropped sales over time is still dropped sales.

Star Wars still makes a fuckton of money and they're still putting it on hiatus because the average person is starting to wise up, even ignoring the typical butthurt fanboy. Pokemon is starting to go down this path, how many kids do you think honestly play Pokemon these days compared to fans who grew up with it? Its definitely a shrinking number.

Kinda shot your own point in the head there kid, kids are fucking retards, but at the same point, kids don't care (You) don't like the new pokémon games, they're going to see something similar to what drew you into the games and franchise in the first place and go along for a journey in the pokémon world for a bit. This is how it's always worked, as oldfags grow up and move on, more kids grow up to take their place.
Stop projecting (You)r wishes and feelings on things you know just aren't true.

It's fun to crack jokes. But it wouldn't surprise me if they want to invest less in the core series. SwSh already looks like junk. The anime is moving away from having traditional arcs based on every game (Advanced Generation, DP, etc). Meltan is an early example of how GO can be used to introduce brand new species. The brand has gotten fucking fat, and times are changing...
