Ash makes friends with so many girls through the years but doesn't have any romantic experience.

Saying that, he has been up at the crack of dawn.

I just hope they actually use the power under the hood and give the characters actual voices and no sprite sounding Pokemon and a new battle system since they've been using the exact same one since the first games

It’s common sense why one save file with the online trading they do not want you trading with yourself

you already know they do quality of life changes and add more to online play with each version, this is the correct way to upgrade, every game that have a part 2 or part 3 do the same but yet you want to blame Pokémon lol

If you change the foundation of a game it’s not the same game anymore

All these changes and different things people want or complain about the Pokémon team do them in spin off games the games that still sell well but not as well as the main series those are the games that take the chances to change up the series

If you want to experience something new in the Pokémon world go to their spinoff series, Leave Pokémon and their foundation alone same reason why I love dragon quest they keep same foundation while adding quality of life changes with each version

Everyone else keep complaining same excuse every generation do not work, like Sony ceo who step down said he wish their franchise can keep going but instead they have to make new ip once people stop buying the old ip

What you call lazy made is every game that have a sequel uncharted have a formula it follows so you not play that anymore????

Persona have a formula it follows do you not play that anymore?

Forza halo call of duty all have formula they follow while adding quality of life changes with each version

You will not find a game that’s a sequel in this generation that do not borrow from the version before it

You can call it lazy or whatever you want but that’s how you build a franchise you make the foundation and add something with each new version

For your info Pokémon games do not come out every now and then main Pokémon games come out every 3 to 4 years just like other AAA games between the main games they usually put out a remake or spin off like they did with Pokémon let’s go, so the last main game was Pokémon sun and moon that was 3 years ago since then they put out second version of sun and moon and Pokémon let’s go to bide the time until the new Pokémon generation

It’s better to say you do not like Pokémon I would accept that instead of your complain of the Pokémon formula when every game with a sequel have a formula they follow

When horizon 2 come out watch how it follows similar formula

You must never play sequels to any games since you have such a big issue with the main series keeping the same formula while the spin offs do things differently

Let’s see

Red green and blue 1996

Gold and silver 1999 (3 years for new generation)

Ruby and sapphire 2002 (3 years for new generation)

Diamond and pearl 2006 (3 years for new generation)

Black and white 2010 (4 years for new generation)

Pokémon X and Y 2013 (3 years for new generation)

Pokémon sun and moon 2016 ( 3 years for new generation)

Sword and shield 2019 (3 years for new generation)

I have not seen any main game with less than 3 years to make the game. All the other games you talking about continue from the same generation for example Pokémon red blue and green is same generation with Pokémon yellow they all have 151 Pokémon nothing more.

So this will be the 8th generation that comes out later this year

In gen 2 Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal we saw the implementation of a day-to-night cycle, days of the week and breeding. Gen 2 allowed you to explore the new region of Johto as well as Kanto from Gen 1 made the game feel like it had a really big world. Gen 2 add the ability to choose your gender, and the Battle Tower which allowed players to try and fight as many battles as they could before taking a loss.

Gen 3 gave us better animations, double battles, contests, secret bases and the ability to run. It added secret bases and individual Pokémon natures. Contests added a new competitive dynamic for people not into battling.

Sun and Moon Gen 7 changes are Gone are gyms – now there are island trials, and Totem Pokémon and themed challenges surrounding them. Even HMs have disappeared.

I skip a few generations if you think the game never add stuff that’s fine keep thinking that but every new gen add more quality of life.....I personally think Pokémon added more stuff since I left more stuff out but go ahead believe those other games add more stuff than Pokémon

And no persona did not add more quality of life improvements over Pokémon and uncharted did not either

The way I see it you only watch a Pokémon gameplay video to see a character move point a to point b and think it’s the same game from the past....it’s a game you have to play to see difference
