>>57504962>pokémon gadgets are a reflection of Japanese real-world techso true, I remember high tech watches with slide-out OLED screens capable of 0latency videocalls back in 1995
the truth is, pokemon used to be Sci-fi lite, and the tech in the games always looked to the future, even if it was maybe aesthetically somewhat based on the way current tech looked, or the console itself
now they just lag behind real life tech and it inspires no imagination
technically speaking, right now you could genuinely make a pokedex- mount a camera on it and have an AI analyze whatever its looking at the way Google Lens does
you could probably make one for dog breeds pretty easily
GF just doesn't have the young visionaries who are captured by the ascent of tech to imagine the future anymore, or their executives believe it's more important to be relatable or some other gay marketing term that never even works
