>>55285437>small indie studio can do it, why can’t GameFreak?The same reason that PalWorld's success won't mean shit.
Pokemon is still currently being occupied by millennial normies doing the "BAZINGA I'M SUCH A NERD" phase. Everyone who has cared to look into it has known how shit the games are. It's been documented extensively.
The next games are still going to be bare world 3-D games that look worse than the GameCube and run like shit and it will still sell 10 million+. I'd say 3-4 more years until normies get tired of pokemon like they did capeshit but until they fuck off nothing will change.
Those retards will buy anything.
