>>44268974>NOT drastically changing Pokémon's target audiencethey've been changing the target audience since gen 3. The market is so saturated with mobileshit now that there is no fucking target audience you mouthbreather.
If they wanted to target zoomers they'd fall for the open-world meme and make a battle royale like fortnite. That's literally all fucking kids give a shit about right now. If they're supposedly so fucking ADD riddled then why is it a gargantuan task to mash a through all the fucking boring, uninteresting text boxes and low-quality "quirky" animations for each and ever fucking character just to mash a through the slow as fuck battle flow just to walk three steps and get to the next dialog prompt?
Nobody fucking likes that. Nobody ever liked that. The only reason it was less prevalent in past games was because there was other shit to distance each and every expositional buttfuck the games nowadays forcefeed you. There's not even any fucking reason for this because there's a constant prompt on the map telling you where you need to go which is now always in a fucking straight line.
They marketed Sword and Shield as being specifically for long-time fans after the outrage that happened from LGPE. It's ironic that LGPE is now considered to be polished which makes sense because at least that is based on a gen 6 engine which is the last time this god forsaken franchise actually had a semblance of exploration and gameplay.
Go fuck yourself. Fuck Home. Fuck Masuda and fuck Ishihara. Iwata would be ashamed at the current state of the franchise and it's clear they did this shit behind his back when he kicked the bucket. 2015 was the only gap year we've had since 2009 and it's been downhill with text boxes and mobileshit since then. They will never stop trying to chase the next Pokemon GO.
