>>45753406AC amiibo festival failed because it was a shitty version of Mario party and a spinoff on an already somewhat niche (at that point) franchise that absolutely REQUIRED amiibos, despite costing as much as any normal nintendo game. You couldnt even play any minigame without buying extra cards, because one of them required 6 cars, while only 3 were bundled with the game. Heck, the amiibos cards actually have become quite expensive with New horizons dominating now and using those to get you new villagers.
And i dont think those amiibos should just give you pokemon, but if they want to go that route they could make it so you can battle the pokemon and have ONE chance to catch it every day until you get it
