>>55501972You seem to forget the entire purpose of Pokemon in the first place and who it's made by. Gamefreak can't do quality, because quality isn't what made Pokemon good in the first place. Especially if you saw the games compared to others around that time. It looked like shit, Pokemon was never about quality nor can gamefreak do quality. However, there was one thing Pokemon can always do right is quantity. Pokemon was beautiful for it's quantity and compact with more and more content with each iteration, which is way they were able to get away selling the same game unlike any other franchise.
Pokemon was always about Quantity, not the other way around. No one until 2019 gave a cinnamon toast fuck about Pokemon being the same game, the games looking like ugly drunk 4 year old dogshit, nor quality, because each iteration was the same, but with more, or at least with a different appeal in it's own right. Pokemon is about quantity, not quality. If Pokemon was about quality, then it would've been a different franchise entirely, and would've been on home consoles from the start and dexit would've happened so much sooner.
By saying quality>quantity, you are actively admitting that you don't even want Pokemon, you don't know what you're talking about, and you clearly don't understand the franchise, and what made it wonderful in the first place. No one cares if it looked ugly or if the mons were Jpegs because you could play with all of them and there was a lot to do even after you become champion, and the main goal of the very first games like picrel, or really any Pokemon game for that matter, is the dex, because it's a creature collecting franchise. The entire purpose is literally the creatures themselves, hence why cutting any of them at all is retarded. If Pokemon was just about the story, or becoming the champion, then Pokemon would've been an entirely different franchise and the very concept of a postgame wouldn't later be implemented in the next installments.
