>>56182621Pokemon will never be any better than it is. Even if the Switch 2 ends up being equivalent to PS5 hardware, Game Freak will not utilize it. They'll make another Scarlet/Violet that somehow barely runs, and they won't do anything to expand on the Pokemon universe. It'll be an isolated region with a handful of references to Kanto and others to make it seem like an interconnected world with no real impact on anything.
An environmental cataclysm happened in Hoenn that would affect the entire world? No region will ever mention it.
A lunatic in Sinnoh was trying to use ancient gods to break reality? No big deal.
A guy in Kalos almost nuked an entire country? No need to talk about that.
Some lady high on jellyfish poison in Alola opened some worm holes and let a bunch of aliens through? Not newsworthy.
Game Freak isn't interested in making a good Pokemon game, neither through visuals nor storytelling.
