It would be worth the wait for sure. But yeah, Gamefreak doesn't work like that, you are right about that much. As I said before, they totally lack ambition. With the kind of sales Pokemon gets they could easily afford to be more ambitious and give these games a bigger budget, but instead they give us tiny little incremental upgrades and changes each gen. And as long as their tiny little incremental upgrades keep selling 10m+ copies each, they will probably never change and do something more ambitious, like a truly AAA open world Pokemon game like I want. |
What I’m wondering is if Pokemon fans are more than willing to wait 2, maybe 3 years, of no Pokemon? When I said 3-5 years to develop, it may possibly lead to maybe either having one remake or one third version come out if Game Freak is going to focus on the next generation of Pokémon. It all depends on how big or small their development team is. They are not likely to hire 300 people like EAD did for BoTW, especially if they want to stick with a particular budget range.
Pokémon mainline games have almost been a yearly thing with an exception of not having a game for year a few times. After RBY, they went right away with GSC and had a year or two gap before RSE. Then after that, it was pretty much a early thing until 2015. It’s an interesting thing that could use a worldwide poll.
