      I have gone through this entire godforsaken franchise and the novelty wore off after the first 2 games (and the 2nd was pushing it already). The only good point is that I spend $0 on it and they made a few fun spin-offs, but those are from other franchises anyway.

        shit all you want on bdsp, but ilca is actually a competent developer that worked on that latest one piece game
        they know how to make good looking games, they even had a bigger scope planned for the diamond pearl remakes, lots of beautiful concept art that reimagined sinnoh, but it had to be scrapped because gamefreak were developing legends arceus simultaneously along the remakes, and it looks dogshit
        cant have that!
        cant have some literal who company shit all over their main game
        so they ordered ilca to develop a 1:1 diamond pearl remake instead
        the decision was most likely made by tpci

    Never interested in Pokemon, but I have to admit its influence in general. So is Game Freak hated because the modern Pokemon game has objectively good to great ideas but bad execution/technical issues, decent idea/execution ideas but its overall quality doesn't make up for it, or just plain bad, and it stains the Pokemon legacy? I mean, it still sells like crazy so there must be something good with the franchise. Aside from maybe Stockholm Syndrome, probably.

      It's hard to explain how huge Pokemon was in the 90s, people loved that shit. It was like crack for children, so a lot of millennials are complete slaves to the brand even now.
      Modern Pokemon games are just bad, they've barely evolved since gen 4 and they're the epitome of one step forward, one step back. Sometimes 2 steps back, trip on a rock and crack your head open like with Scat and Toilet.

      Pokemon fan here, 1 and 2 sound about right for the most part. There are some really nice QoL features for some of the mechanics like the addition of mints and ability patches, but the areas you explore often feel shallow and underdeveloped. They also remove features for little to no reason, like some moves, and in SV, enterable buildings and Elite 4 rematches, just to name a few. The bad execution and some good ideas just make it more disappointing/frustrating

      Nothing about the development cycle of the mainline pokemon games really works anymore and Game Freak is too stubborn to change how anything works. The development cycle is too short for the size of their studio, they have been recycling assets from generation 6 through today and still have to make major cuts just to meet street dates on the product.
      They peaked with generation 4-5 and it's been an embarrassing slide into mediocrity for far too long with no end in sight.
      They also blatantly lied about things to the public, like saying that they had to massively cut the roster of pokemon due to technical reasons when it was just corporate rosterhomosexualry coming down on them. But they couldn't convey that in any other way but lying.

          It's rosterhomosexualry plain and simple, they can add novelty to old pokemon by withholding them from being playable and then reintroduce them later down the line for people to get excited about. There is nothing inherently wrong with this, the issue is that they blatantly lied about the reason citing technical limitations.

      As I thought, this happens a lot in Japanese work culture, if you have long time 'seniority' at a company and there's no major issue (in this case, the games are still selling big numbers) you can basically just sit on your ass and do literally nothing while pushing all of your work onto other people (since you never leave the company you work at, you're there for life as long as there's no major disaster).
      Hell it's literally the accepted norm in Japan, senior staff get to push their work onto newer hires.

      I guarantee that half of these motherfrickers haven't even updated their programming skills or knowledge in over a decade now.

                Yup. Gen 7 is soulful because they didn’t mindlessly copy Kanto for the nth time, unlike Gen 5.

                Gen 7 included 2 remakes of Kanto and only kanto Pokémon got Alolan forms.

      They have made plenty of games that aren't pikemon but most were excessively medicore/bad.

      Let me be clear that Pokemon games were never cutting edge even at their peak. The GBA games look pretty bad for the system they're on but the best games were solid monster collecting rpgs.

      A lot of the problems plaguing modern pokemon were already present in the handheld games but were less egregious because they weren't big 3D games.

    Not defending Game Freak because their releases have been trash for a while, but they never could capture a "console" experience. The transition never really came to fruition in the Wii U/Switch era. The older handheld games are quite good, even if they were made to make a lot of money from children.

      It was entertaining to watch them scramble to put out a product on the Switch. It's like they expected to release on the 3DS until 2025.

          With the amount of time it took them to put out a game on Switch hardware after the Switch released, and the quality of said games, I think they were actually stupid enough to believe they would keep making games on 3DS. The stupid motherfrickers simply weren't ready for the hardware.

            did they originally have problems with fresh 3ds releases, though? or is this just a "not ready for home console releases" situation?

              Not at all. The handheld systems all followed a logical evolution of the technology. They adapted easily to each one. Then the Switch comes by, and it takes them almost 3 years to get Sword/Shield out. Switch was released March 2017, SwSh came out in November 2019.

    It's worth noting that the only mainline Pokémon game that I find the japanese community generally dislikes are Sun & Moon, and UltraSun & Moon.

    I generally agree with that. I can usually get some fun out of these mid-tier games but you literally cannot go anywhere or do anything in S&M without being halted by the awful, awful characters and story.

        They also point out that in XY, 450 types out of 718 types of Pokémon were available, but in S&M 800 species should be available but the Alola Pokédex is only 301. Weird how everyone lost their shit about Dexit when in reality it started two games earlier.
