| Sephiran said: Complaining about Pokemon selling well even though the games look bad seems just like console warriors that are angry that Pokemon outsells AAA games that releases on their platforms of choice. Its not Pokemon's fault that no one is buying FF7 Rebirth on PS5 and instead just play Gacha and other live service games on the console. |
The problem with Pokémon extends far past “the games look bad.” All the way up until 2021, the underlying gameplay loop of Pokémon had yet to change or evolve much at all from its initial 1998 debut on the **GameBoy**. Again, we are talking about the most profitable franchise in human history: it is perfectly reasonable for consumers to be demanding more. (And noting that demands will only ever be met upon seeing a dramatic fall in sales figures, it makes sense why people would be in favor of seeing these number fall off.) GameFreak cannot continue to get away with this abysmal quality assurance.
