Pokemon HAS been changing. If you play a game each generation there are at least a decent amount of semi significant changes. If you play X/Y compared to red/blue it's practically a totally different game. And pokemon has had quite a few successful and innovative spinoffs to date. Tetris is still the same game it was decades ago, just shinier.

I consider pokemon X/Y changes minimal and in essence the game only became shinier, so there you have it.

There will come a time where pokemon will have to become a 30+ million dollars MMORPG (mobile or console, doesn't matter), fully voice acted, fully 3d open world.

Cause if it doesn't it will die to the competition.

Altought I do believe, Nintendo will be able to keep up. Pokemon X/Y is a good game for today standards. My point is only that there will be a point where today standard won't sufice and neither nostalgia be relevant enough, Nintendo will have to shell out the cash, even for one of the most lucrative/cost ratio games it does, be pokemon or mario kart.


That is simply not true. The 8 bit days were decades ago, yet games like Shovel Knight, when done correctly, still sell enough to not only be profitable, but to be a huge success. Pokemon, as it is right now, isn't pushing much in terms of power and doesn't require a lot of resources to make, yet it sells a MASSIVE amount more than 95% of games that cost millions of dollars more to make. That trend will continue for at least 10-20 more years, if not much longer. Nostalgia is always popular.
