      It's not just a lack of caring, it's an issue of bullshit corporate brand synergy. The games need to be out in time to promote the new anime and cards and toys and other shit.

        Nah. It's Game Freak who sets the launch timeframe. After that the entire merch machine gets to work and they can't delay it anymore.
        If only they set the release date a year later

        That's just even more reasons to grow complacent over the games. You're just pushing them out yearly so the toy companies have new designs to keep printing out, nobody cares about the actual quality of the games, not your investors, not your parent companies and certainly not your cult-like playerbase, they just care that they come out on time to keep the derived products money presses working, so why in the frick would you or should you attempt to put efforts into your rushjobs?

    They're taking forever to modernize their 30 year old game, they're only just introducing open world mechanics and they should have gone 3D long before they did.

        They did it specifically to spite people who wanted companies besides Game Freak working on the mainline games. It's incredible how despite doing that, they are planning on stepping down for gen 10, because they are tired of working on Pokemon.

    Pokemon has fallen far too much into the designation of a milked product

    Any product should have, and will have artfulness integrated into it, despite it's intention of making money

    But once the money making intention completely overshadows the artful intention, it becomes a soulless husk simply bearing the appearance of the original

    But when you churn out several hundred designs EVERY gen, every several years or so, it's impossible to retain a sense of sufficient art direction quality control and inspiration, and you only just about have time to horrendously shoe-horn a half implemented gimmick that you then have to completely pull back on next game

    Pokemon has always been more of a media franchise than a game franchise after Red/Green, but GF could make good games with their limited resources and time on limited hardware in time to release with the anime, manga, cards, merch, etc. But shitting these games out now in 1-2 years is just not fricking feasible, especially when they are catering towards muh open world meme. They recycle so much since gen 6 and the games are STILL rushed out dumpster fires. I've been looking at the same models and animations since 2013 and the games are still buggy, ugly messes.

    I hope GF implodes and TPC desperately scrambles to keep this corporate money laundering going.

        That's the really funny one cause you can directly compare it to Monster Hunter
        A bunch of returning monsters in the latest games are basically using touched up versions of their old promo render/trailer models that had way too much detail for gameplay back then, but they can reuse them ingame now

              Unironically yes. Do you remember Pokemon Colosseum? After the same dev team made a sequel to Colosseum, Game Freak absorbed them into the company and forced them to work on mobile games, prompting every veteran of the studio to quit.

      It wasn’t the Dex cull by itself that made the fandom snap. It was the cut on top of the game clearly being a 3DS port with a console price tag. The models and animations we were shown had progressed very little from their 2013 XY origins. So not only did the games look nowhere near acceptable for their hardware, they wouldn’tt even feature all the Pokémon up to that point.

    It’s another case of Quantity > Quality. They are constantly making new games every year and even releasing two at a time as is their trend to do, so they don’t put all their effort into one single game since they’re already working on a new game and it’s rival game too.

    With how tech has advanced you would think that they would put a bunch of pokemon in it. But each save would have set and random mon in it. Would save having to make two versions and still keep the spirit of the series.

    Strange focus on the move to 3D. I guess it was time, but I think besides x/y, I never even noticed the 3D effects in (u)s/m. shield/sword and scarlet/violet have leaned into a more broad landscape, which is cool enough, but it feels like they're just stuffing in more gimmicks to be able to market with, when the games are at their best steeped in simplicity.
