>>49451059It'll happen in another 15 years when the old guard have all retired and the closest thing to an engine developer they have on the payroll is some 40-something who remembers scripting for Unity as it is in our current day before the whole industry decided drag-and-drop tools were more efficient and cost effective than paying a programmer to implement custom stuff. AI-generated assets will be the norm - all the new models and animations will be made by feeding the future 3d neural blender all the footage of the anime and pictures of all the merch alongside the various pokedex descriptions and other relevant data with minimal human input. Everything will be there - every battle style/ruleset, every region, every important trainer, every item and move, every feature ever cut, and of course every pokemon - but they will ruin it with microtransactions out the ass, you'll be paying for access to routes and cities, items, cosmetics, the ability to build a secret base as well as paying for the digital land in a single-player world and the decorations, certain pokemon will only be available if you pay for the item to unlock the quest, storage space, mini-games, interactive things like petting and feeding your pokemon. And don't forget it'll be running on some experimental Nintendo console with at best the performance of a high-end pc from 2012 and a weird gimmick that'll be barely used yet account for 30% of the price, and games will cost $80 new. Don't forget to pre-order or you won't get the limited edition pikachu version of the vr headset strap that the game requires to verify your identity via the circumference of your skull to link to your Estate+ account, the upgraded version of Estate that lets you store all your pokemon with their entire data intact instead of randomizing everything except the OT, movesets, nickname, and gender because all those kilobytes of data really add up - it replaced Home in 2030 and only costs $25 a month!
