>>47873073I'm sorry son, I was too old to get hooked on the kiddy shite they spew out Gen-on_gen, I told you that. Your ignorance of the series' historic devcycles (Gen I, capsule monsters scrapped 1992, Pokémon delivered 1995, Gen I ordered for 1997, launched 1999, Gen III 2002, Gen IV 2006, delayed a year as GF couldn't into wi-fi communication, Gen V started 2007, launched 2010, Gen VI 2013, Gen VII, the 20th anniversary - 2016, Gen VIII 2019)
What TPC do is irrelevant to what Game Freak and Nintendo do. In case you missed it, Ishihara had to sit on his hands and port PMD to DS to make a buck that year and that still doesn't explain how Game Freak launched games on three-year cycles before TPC were even a thing.
