I honest believe that Pokemon has never ever been better than right now.> Multiple games avaliable to play with constant updates like Pokemon Go, Pokemon SWSH, Snap, Cafe, Pokken, Master and even more coming, for casual and hardcore audieces, different gamestyles etc. > Quality merchandise and a lot of variety when it comes to what you want, featuring a ton of Pokémon, characters etc. > The anime is just KINO and the newer movies are miles and miles better than the older ones starting with Kimi ni Kimeta. No joke, I never been more excited being a Pokémon fan than right now, I can't imagine myself back in the "golden era" of Psychopath Ash with his Pokémon during the Indigo/Orange/Johto... anime or the low tech games before DS at least.

>>46035676 I’m glad you’re having fun, anon, but it’s hard to deny that the franchise is in a piss poor state right now in terms of quality. Sure there might be a lot of variety, but when all of it is shallow, why bother?

>>46035676 I'd argue this was 2018 rather. Nothing in the past few years have added anything to the table of things you've described. Maybe a new movie or mobile game but that's nothing, and I could do without all the dexit whining.

The problem is that there's not a lot of substance. SWSH is a drop in quality from past gens. Master is terrible even by gacha standards. Pokken DX came out 4 years ago. Snap, Cafe and Go are cute, but not very deep. The former two are fluff. And nothing actually caters to hardcore audiences.

Share >Removal of several key moves >Ridiculous amount of in-game currencies >Weak Pokemon designs overall >Questionable graphics at places >Poorly-implemented trading system >Over-reliance on Max Raids >Worst evil team yet And that's on top of flaws from other gens, like not having a lot of animations for cutscenes, lack of difficulty and lack of exploration.

>>46038553 because the only good thing about it is the multiplayer, and they still managed to take steps back with it compared to the other 3D entries.

Funny, that's exactly what the "real" Star Wars fans that shat on the movie that actually tried to evolve the series said. Pokemon is stagnating just as much if not worse than that series, I hope you realize you're part of the problem.
