>>55181893They are on different systems though, and have different audiences due to genre/tone/franchise. That'd explain why the games still did incredibly well despite not getting the same support that the mainline games do, it's not actually competing with Elden Ring. The people who have both a Switch to play Pokemon and system that plays Elden Ring probably also have the money to buy both anyways.
Regardless I really just want them to bring the ball throwing system over and build on the attempt to make the dex more engaging. If there was more trainers and the traditional battle system it really would have been the perfect game, though I loved what we got.
