If games of this quality were released in any other mainstream gaming franchise that franchise would be laughed at into obscurity and eventually death, but Pokemon is doing better than ever. Is there any justice in a world with modern Pokemon?

GF are just drug dealers, selling a good product the first times then selling shit for higher price because fans are actually addicted. We would buy anything at this point.

But they are the most important in terms of quality necessity. A bad TCG Series in terms of card art and card content means very little compared to a good TCG Series. A bad anime season in terms of writing means very little compared a good anime season. Plushies and toy quality means little to nothing. If merchandising is bad, it doesn't matter, just keep producing.

If the video games that the merchandising relies on is bad quality then it's a problem

I think they are fine games that remove all the stupid tedium of JRPGs
The only real flaw was the low difficulty and side things to do

If you remove anything from these games they aren't games, this is the definition of bare minimum. The JRPG elements are the only thing keeping this shit together

Yes, i like too when a game removes dungeons, difficulty, pathing, sequence breaking, exploration, strategy, side content/minigames and plot. It's a good press-A simulator a that point, really comfy!

Not if that franchise was as driven by children as Pokémon is anon. That's the difference, no other franchise in the world is as driven by children as Pokémon is, so it can't be compared to any other franchise. Stay mad the creators want to keep their series for kids and not manchildren like you.

You guys are mixing things. It was made for kids. And it’s made for kids now.
Kids back in the day (as I consider myself, mid 20s) were used to different games. Harder, less explained...
Kids today want something different. Easier, faster, not brain-breaking.
If we play them (as we do) we are disappointed because we don’t have what we have when we were kids. But we’ll never have it.
I wish the series split and made the Let’s go the children game, and the “main ones” the mature ones. But that’s not gonna happen, sadly. Accept it or let go Pokémon for good. But here we are, reading about Pokémon.

This game launched even more barebones, and it's pathetic considering that the game was delayed.

All the "updates" are shit that was already in New Leaf at launch.

Animal crossing is a game designed to last at least a full year, in the past people would lick every inch of the game and be done/bored about 2-3 months in, and stop playing, only maybe revisiting for halloween and christmas. The solution? Slowly release more events over time to offer more of a reason to come back and stick around longer. Is that the best business practice? No, but it makes sense, and clearly works, by this point back in new leaf, at least half the playerbase already quit and hardly anyone talked about it outside waifufaggotry

I'm really getting sick of this horseshit excuse. It'd make sense if it were only for stuff like holidays and events but its pretty clear that is FAR from the case. The game is missing a ton of series staples, content, and features. The one update we've gotten so far is fucked because of the artificial scarcity added to the few special NPCs that are actually in the game.

Even the holidays and events have been abysmal though, feels like this shit was made in an afternoon and was barely thought out.

Funny that, kids couldn't be trysted to explore like they ised to and then smartphones ibliterated any chance they'd rediscover that abolity. Small wonder a series so dependent on kids would change how they made tjose games as the environments kids grew up in changed over time. Even funnier is how manchildren cry over this, just because they once were part of that audience and are not now.

This. Games for kids years ago were only hard as devs were still in the arcade cabinet mentality (hard game = more money as people try to finish it), now there's no such thing and even better, games have died trying to court a market that didn't care for them. Pokémon preempted this by adapting when it became clear the old style wasn't good for the younger generation - all since is noise from adults who can't understand this or accept it will always be like this.

It's not its sole focus, the kiddy coming-of-age story was always primary focus (which still exists in-game), splatoon was greenlit SPECIFICALLY as a multiplayer shooter for WiiU as the other big brand shooters wouldn't touch it. Or are you saying the past games need to be held to that standard too, in which case they've ALWAYS been dogshit. Yet you only started crying over them 11 4/4 months ago....

What do the dates have to do with anything? Pokemon has older games that are better than newer ones. And back to my original point that you avoided, I reiterate: GSC are better than RGBY, which are subpar products. I would certainly hope newer games to be better, which in this case it was.

Taking content and putting it after the credits instead of before the credits isn't a sign of quality. I bet you would be sucking Swoosh's cock if you could only access the Wild Area in the post-game.

The wild area and the lake on route 2 are optional side areas.

Anon, the game is still a massive dumpster fire for about a YEAR AND A HALF later with the best thing they’ve done is plop a bunch of NPCs into it. The engine the game is running on is old, busted and easily susceptible to exploits and hackers due to how moddable it is. Fallout was never meant for multiplayer on that engine. And even acknowledging that they are “trying” to “fix“ it, the whole debacle regarding Fallout 76 for months on end had to have been the most incompetent and anti consumer horse shit I’ve seen in this garbage industry in a while.
