Time to sue them!

I dont remember the last time I played a Pokémon game they're so mediocre. They really could come out with a dope thoroughly made title. Different environments to go in, battling in dynamic weather etc smh I've always pictured a great Pokémon game but nope.

This is going to be a very unpopular opinion but.

The thing about Pokemons is there's a group of people who don't want to accept they have aged out of the franchise.

The Pokemon company isn't targeting adults who grew up playing blue and red they are targeting those players children with games like let's go Pikachu they can share with the next generation.

Also TPC generally aims their products from early childhood to pre teen with Pokemon nursery rhymes on yt kids to games like Pikachu's adventure to more advanced games like the newer ones.

And the thing about kids games is they can be janky kids don't care that much.

So reading so many comments about people hating on the fact they recycle ideas and gameplay concepts it's because you're not the target demographic anymore their target demographic is experiencing this for the first time. They won't make a Pokemon aimed at long term fans because long term fans are not their demographic and for the most part have moved on to other interests and franchises and may not even own a Nintendo system anymore.

In a way it's like saying I'm upset with SpongeBob because it didn't grow with me and offer more mature theme's aimed at me as an adult.

I'm not saying as an adult you can't still enjoy these games but don't expect them to grow and change into something they can't be something more mature that would isolate their actual demo like they won't implement guns and slavery mechanics like palworld

i wanna feel bad but i just dont.

the mediocrity that gamefreak has delivered is ridiculous.
especially for a AAA studio of this massive franchise.

considering how well known their networking is complete a$$ lm amazed they had not been hacked sooner.

this is a company that released a pokemon game with theonline pvp on one seed btw

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
