Pokémon Needs to Take a Break

Alex DS from Link Cable Gaming writes: "This success has continued onto the Nintendo Switch with the platform being home to a new generation (that got some expansions), TWO remakes, and now the first 3D RPG in the series with Legends Arceus. That’s a lot of Pokémon and doesn’t include any of the spinoffs either. And while these games are definitely wildly popular, I’m starting to think it’s time for the series to take a bit of a break.

Pokémon isn’t allowed to take a break. Too many factors prevent it from doing so

Because it’s more focused on being a multimedia franchise than a gaming one, each generation is only three years

This vid goes into detail the issue this franchise as a whole will continue to suffer from with it being the most successful multimedia franchise in the world

but it also suffers from gamefreaks non existing experience with 3d games and their unwillingness to change. the games desperately need to mature. not full on 16+ but damn. even kids find it cheesy as hell

but i agree on everything u said.

I only think it needs two things.

Being able to skip the story entirely.

Or fully voice acted story...Which can be skipped.

gold_drake1537d ago

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet look amazing. Can’t wait

gerbintosh1537d ago

Same old shit just a different day

-Foxtrot1537d ago

How? We literally know nothing about them

Outlawzz1537d ago

I'm having fun with arceus and definitely will purchase scarlet and violet. So I don't think it needs a break at all, just reworking of the formula which they are doing. I had previously given up on pokemon thinking It would never make progress. I received arceus as a gift and gave it a shot and now I'm back lol

Seems pokemon company saw this article and decided to announce their new game as spite lol s/

Too bad sales say, you all don’t know wtf your talking about.

"Too bad sales say, you all don’t know wtf your talking about."

Call Of Duty games are the best selling games every year - sales evidently do not equal quality (brand recognition is arguably more important). In terms of quality, COD games are far from the glory days of the franchise and also need a break (rumoured next year, thankfully).

CyberSentinel1537d ago

Why do CoD games sell then?

Microsoft is rumored to want to make the franchise more a a “service”.
Whatever that means.

Probably a tiered system, with F2P being a basic tier for multiplayer longevity.

"Why do CoD games sell then?"

As I said, "brand recognition is arguably more important" than quality. Once you've built up a fanbase and heavily advertised your product over a period of time, brand recognition can sustain you just as much as the quality of individual releases. .

RedDevils1536d ago

Brainwash fanboy won't know the different what is quality. I have stop playing Pokemon since Silver/gold, since then they have done nothing innovative is almost like fifa every years. I play Folklore and Nino Kuni both games mechanic could be implement into the Pokemon games, but it's seem Gamefreak are a below average developer whom afraid of taking risk to improve their game.
