>>51684079 I blame Pokemon Go. It brought back all the most blindly faithful consumerists and nostalgiabros to keep this franchise going for another 25 years.

>>51684093 But do you honestly think that the newer Pokemon have the same quality of design as the former?

Emotional attachment through the monster raising aspect & how expanded it is. Ever since it came out as the winner of the 5th Gen monster raising series wars it can't lose. Some people will move on but a sizeable amount of people still growing up or manchilds will stick around, buy everything, and that base to keep it as an established franchise that'll forever be able to gather a new generation of kids that'll then be the manchild that are still into the franchise

I remember the absolute madness, so your take is that Go had such a great ripple effect for Pokemon in general, damn.

I think the games have remained fun and familiar and that makes it easy for multiple generations of people to share it without friction.

>>51684137 I very much agree with this.
I just wonder how it got so huge. I mean, yes: everyone is able to pick it up. And it's good fun. But is that enough to become the titan it has?

>>51684115 This is true, but it also begs the question of what kept the games selling 10+ million copies long enough for Go to be the second coming of Pokemania. Keeping short to bump thread.

I even find the battle tower kind of nice sometimes.
