Pokémon is THE largest grossing franchise in the world, topping Harry Potter, Hello Kitty and the MCU. They should be able to fit every existing 3ds model they have into 2 switch games. This should be a simple task when you're Pokémon and you have Nintendo backing you up. They put 800+ pokémon in sun & moon, plus mega evolution, z-moves and walking animations. What is the 3ds doing that the Switch can't? I know the Switch has its limits, but I doubt the national pokédex exceeds those limitations. By being lazy and not taking full advantage of what the Switch is capable of, they're making Nintendo look bad. We get to be angry and voice our opinions because in the end we, the customers, are the ones who decide wether or not a game succeeds. These are $60 games, how long do we have to settle for disappointment? Who wants to pay for watered down, dissatisfaction? I really hoped that gen 8 would restore the order that go and lets go have disturbed and put my fears to rest... but the opposite is happening. Lately, it's been very hard (for me, personally) to maintain being a fan of pokémon. I'm very unimpressed. Their movies are crap, their games are lacking... everything that they pinch out of their assholes is lackluster, lately. Mewtwo strikes back EVOLUUUUUUTION does NOT need to exist at all. Go integration in sword & shield is completely unnecessary. Apparently, they thought they did something right with lets go. I still don't understand why they would feel the need to simplify an already extremely simple game like pokémon for the sake of casuals. The overworld sprites in the Wild Area are underwhelming, as is the background scenery. There's nothing too special about the Wild Area other than camera control, which is a simple feature that they could've implemented into the entire game instead of just one limited area. Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing are sorry excuses for scrapping mega evolution... Even lets go had limited mega evolution. Those derpy excuses for pokémon games had mega evolution!!! AND FOLLOWING POKÉMON!!!! All sw&sh have going for them is the fact that there's going to be new pokémon and, for some odd reason, the new pokémon are being designed to replace existing pokémon (like Slurpuff and Mareep) that won't appear in the Galar region. Skarmory and Honchkrow as well... they killed 2 birds with 1 Corviknight. Why is that? And why are they reusing the exact same assets from sun & moon in sword & shield? I thought they were cutting all of these things out of the games for the sake of "higher quality animations". Graphically, I see no difference between gen 7 and gen 8. If they weren't going to be innovative on the Switch, then they should've stayed on the 3ds a little longer instead of building up hype and expectations by saying that these games would be the "BOTW of pokémon". I really think Gamefreak needs to reevaluate their business strategy and get their priorities straight. Pokémon's potential is being wasted and these games are being rushed and botched because of the ignorance and idiocy of their developers. Pokémon "Sleep" is a gigantic waste of time, money and resources. It's a shame how epic and ambitious Pokémon Masters looks compared to sword & shield and it's just an app on your phone... It even has mega evolution and z-moves as well as new pokémon battle animations and even a new battle style. It would've been alot better if it was an actual spinoff game on the Switch that you could buy a physical copy of. It could've been compatible with pokémon home and could've been the answer to the national dex problem. That would've sold alot more units than lets go and the game's animated trailer would've made alot more sense. Gamefreak's priorities are all over the place but sadly not in the right places. They're focusing on mobile games because they are unable to make a real game with a lifespan longer than a year, due to a lack of content and drive. Switching their focus from the main series console games to mobile spinoffs because of pokémon go has resulted in a drop in quality in the main series. And lets not forget that "Town" is, somehow, their main priority above all and is the main contributor to this shortage of quality. Everything from the cards and merch to the movies, anime and everything in between, including the mobile games, ride on the back of the main games. They would not exist without them. This unwillingness to make advancements and improve upon things in the main series could affect the overall profitability of the pokémon franchise as a whole. Of course every pokémon game will sell nicely because there will always be a plethora of indiscriminate consumers with no standards ready to throw money at anything pokémon related, but milking "nostalgia" and catering to genwunners and the younger noob demographic can't get them by forever... Especially when sacrifices are being made in the process. If they cared more about creativity and innovation and if they were motivated by customer satisfaction and not money, they would achieve greater long-term success. But gamefreak's decision to limit the pokédex for their own convenience and them giving priority to "original" titles and putting pokémon on the backburner, (as if pokémon isn't what made them what they are today), tells me that they don't care about their fans or the product. The only thing they care about is how much crap they can push out each year to make the most money they can in the fastest, cheapest and simplest way possible. Even if it means cutting corners. They are a money driven corporation, who throw quality and real fan service out the window. No one can convince me otherwise.
