>>47256916To clarify, the franchise moves on game Freak's direction. the anime needs to go to them to add even a form change of an existing pokémon and the entire thing follows what they say regarding the universe (to the point every project has a Game Freak liaison staff member assigned to oversee their work).
Until Nintendo decide they don't want to sell the brand to kids anymore. we're getting kiddyshit games the like of SS and SM anon, at the rate we've gotten them of late. and honestly, they'd announce a delay, if they wanted dev cycles to line up with 2026 for the 30th anniversary, but it's too soon to delay or announce one, just to get your devcycles to line up (and now with ILCA seemingly Game Freak Jr. the odds of gap years decrease incrementally, there's now 4 teams able to take on a project). I know you want the bbrakes put on kid, but no-one in the franchise wants to, last time they took their foot off the gas, yokai watch stole a march and retards here started crying the brand was dead.
