Today is the day that Pokemon officially enters its "Zombie Simpsons" era. Deny it all you want, but it's the truth.

It's still the number 1 media IP and the switch games sell nearly as much as Red/Green/Blue did in the 90s.

People have been saying this since Gen 8, I mean Gen 7, I mean Gen 6, I mean Gen 5, etc.

Genuinely though, where does this idea that Pokemon's failing and dying coming from? You can just not like something or grow out of it.

Everyone always feels that way about BW when they see the numbers. They're everyone's darling now but it legitimately was a low point for the series financially.

There's probably some message in there about online fan opinions not lining up with the general audience's.

No, it just released so late in the DS's life that nobody cared anymore about DS games any more. It released three weeks before the 3DS in the US, and then B2W2 released a year and a half later ALSO ON THE DS.
'
Pokemon Sun and Moon were a similar deal, since they released only 5 months before the Switch came out.

why do blind fanboys try to gaslight into saying, oh you just grew up, oh it's just not for you. they are fundamentally extremely different products from what they used to put out. in a hypothetical scenario where they continued to release games at the level of any of the 2d entries I would still be engaged. even gen 6 or 7 were flawed but better than what they're releasing now. they are doubling down on all the worst aspects and being overly ambitious when they never even learned how to make a 3D game following the format they stuck to for years. why is trying to make some open world procedural mmo bullshit that won't pan out to even a 10th of their claims a me problem?

The problem is claiming Gamefreak is a failing company when that's statistically wrong. What's your explanation for the newer games selling as well as they do? Is it all just sheeple and that's it?

I can't speak for anyone else, I never claimed they were a failing company. They're a mismanaged incompetent company and the brand is so strong and carried on legacy that they can coast like this for years. People have an emotional attachment to the designs and so they'll ignore the flaws because the core concept is fun and even if its mangled and distorted if there's a shred of that identity left they can still enjoy parts of it

Yeah? Pokemon has essentially entered coast-mode thanks to shit like GO, the Switch, the TCG blowing up in popularity, etc.
SV bordered on Sonic 06-level broken and it's the second best-selling pair of games in the franchise

well I don't think anyone thought it was a financially successful gen in the US. it was a gen for Japanese players. but it clearly didn't do well overseas, or else Masuda wouldn't have gone apeshit and ruined the franchise from then on.

Also fact.

>>58402245
Fact.

Pokemon has never been worse than it was during the DS era. The switch games are infinitely more innovative, better looking and with superior competitive play to the DS games.
>b-b-but muh n64 trees-
Gen 1 back sprites look better than the tweened, stretched pixels of gen 5's abominable sprites. No game will ever look worse.
