In its place are mobile games that generate triple the profits and a few stragglers clawing for air, are you sad to see it go?

my pokemon ranch is what pokemon home should have been

imagine a ranch where you can hold and play with all your pokemon. It would be absolute kino. That's actually how I used to use my app back in the day, dump the pokemon in my pc onto my ranch so they can play and frolic.

Imagine a new TCG game where the player character matures in life across every TCG set release and can maintain a collection. An aspect of the game can involve individual cards getting either "played" and worn, or preserved instead so as to resell them in-game years later. The player could start by playing against school classmates and end up entering tournaments. It could even be compatible with online play.

You couldn't even move Pokemon between games. Stadium is what Home should have been.

Aside from Pokepark & Snap if you're into that sorta thing don't bother, there's a reason most of these are dead.

Pokken had a lot of potential. It needed a much bigger fighter selection and most importantly a story mode that unlocks a unique legendary that you can transfer to a mainline game

super just felt weird.
>the visuals don't suck but they don't really stand out in any meaningful way either, and just looks fairly flat most of the time (though gti shares this problem too)
>only non-trio starter choices are pikachu and riolu, when the oddball picks were often the more interesting mons
>extended school tutorial sequence is kinda dumb
>it's weird that there is specifically one of each pokemon that you can recruit in super, and even weirder that they can just be absent some days
>control scheme differs just enough to trip me up, i.e. pushing instead of swapping places. it's a welcome addition but i always do it on accident
>i just dont really like looplets and emeras, items have always had a place in the series and genre but all the main held items with effects being samey looplets instead of them being different items felt boring
>additionally i don't know why most wands couldn't have been made into seed effects, since they fill the same purpose (one-time action from consumable item)
that being said most of my problems just come from "it feels different and the vibes are off" so it's just subjective bs lmao

Pinball was good but far too short-lived. It was supposed to have had a gen 4 DS pinball game developed by the guys who made Metroid Prime Pinball, perfect for the two screens, but TPC cancelled it for no apparent reason. And it's been dead since then.

Ranch is a great idle wallpaper, if Home had a similar function i'd keep it on my second monitor all the time. Even if it couldn't run all ~3000 low poly models for all the mons in my home account i'd be happy if it just displayed like a random selection of 100 mons, or let me hand pick which boxes or individual mons I wanted on display.

Pokemon Home does the job, but

>No model viewer
>Clunky as fuck UI
I understand they wanted to make it small because all their servers have to store probably millions of Pokemon, but I'd unironically pay for a $30 Pokemon Box style game with more features, just gate the cloud access behind the subscription but give me all other features from the start

A lot of those features wouldn't even need to be server-side, you could definitely cram a bunch of Pokemon Rumble-esque low poly models into an update and have a bunch of them running around in random procedural patterns in a wide open field.

RTDX sold better than Gates and Super did, which leaves me hopeful that PMD isn’t dead just yet. I don’t think a new game is coming anytime soon because they’ve been working on Shiren, but I’d be thrilled at the prospect of a new game or an Explorers remake in a year or two.

Come on, we all enjoy pokémon music, it's ridiculously recognizable and popular, it's widely remixed in the gaming community, there are 9 whole generations of content to pick from

Ever since Final Fantasy fans got this thing years ago I've been having hope that Pokémon would do something similar

And then GameFreak made HarmoKnight with some limited Pokémon tunes and I've kept waiting

Pokémon just did collabs with Miku Hatsune and I'm still waiting
