>>44152069The whole Gamefreak isn’t TPC argument is so fucking stupid, it’s three companies who have equal shares of the same franchise that makes up TPC, Gamefreak isn’t TPC, it owns 33ish percent of TPC, therefor Gamefreak get 33% of the total revenue of all of Pokémon related things.
The whole Pokémon franchise, the biggest franchise on the whole fucking planet has made $90 billion, give or take a few million, that’s an equal share of around $30 billion. Stop defending the games being a fucking let down, why is it okay to laugh at how bad Town was but giving Pokémon the same shit is bad? At least Town has the excuse of being a new idea, Pokemon has had 20 years to hone its ideas and for some reason got worse after Gen 5 because the creators have 0 faith in their own games.
Asking for more effort for a $50 game made by a very wealthy company isn’t entitled, it’s expected. Gen 8 was fucking awful, Pokémon won’t die if you say it was shit, it’ll make them put more effort into it, thats how things get better by definition.
