It could be a solid 9/10 game with smooth 60fps and an expansive world, and the internet will still shit on it and call it "slop". The forced anti-Pokemon hate is that bad at this point. They will just laser-focus on a few examples of lower-res textures, or call the gameplay "boring" with no elaboration.At this point I don't think Game Freak could counter this narrative unless they somehow released an 11/10 world-beating GOTY-candidate that completely reinvents the franchise in a Zelda/Xenoblade style, and that's never happening.
Dick riding a billion dollar franchise is crazy
>>58925244no pokemon game is ever gonna be above 5/10
>>58925244The anti-Pokemon sentiment isn't nearly as bad as the forced optimism retards like you have. You're not allowed to criticize anything anymore without somebody telling you to just ignore all the negatives and enjoy eating shit. Gamefreak could release the lowest effort, most undeniably garbage slop, and it would still sell 5 billion copies and people would come out of the woodwork to defend it and try to shut down any criticism because they can't handle admitting that something they've invested their life into has slipped in quality because their world would fall apart, so they just stick their head in the sand and pretend everything is fine.
>>58925244>that completely reinvents the franchise in a Zelda/Xenoblade style, and that's never happening.I like how even in your fervent defense of gamefreak, you still admit that they're incapable of truly innovating and doing something that multiple other franchises have achieved, with less resources mind you. like you subconsciously know that they're not doing their best, but just accept it anyway. low standard consumers like you are why the franchise is shit now.
>>58925244I literally just want the level of content Gen 3 had, secret bases, contests or something equivalent (musicals in BW were NOT equivalent due to a lack of progression and win conditions), a battle tower,berry farming, a phone system where trainers are real people and can be re-fought, and semi-random daily events.Not even asking for a Emerald or Platinum level of content here, just the base games of gen3-4 is more than enough.
Pretty much the replies so far in this thread.Being serious here, Gamefreak is NOT criticized enough. Pokemon could be so much more and yet they're still being incompetent for the amount of money they make. Pokemon is the biggest media franchise in the world and yet it doesn't reflect the quality of the newer games. Gamefreak is being awarded for what little effort they do. And yet, the games will still make a shit ton of money no matter how low effort they put into them.Pic very much related. Also, graphics is not the only concern too.
>>58925385We need to burn down Game Freak in order to get anything done at this point because boycotting and bullying's not working due to all the retards buying up their shit
>>58925244Give it a few years. New thing is always bad until it becomes old thing then it becomes good.
>>58925244Why are cunts so fucking bad at fakemon?They ALWAYS draw digimon with pokemon colours. Why is this so hard? There's like a thousand pokemon. Draw those. Stop drawing red, green and blue digimon.
>>58925244if I thought it was 9/10 I would like it, fucking somalian IQ retard. learn math before you come back to my board

>>58925244>At this point I don't think Game Freak could counter this narrative unless they somehow released an 11/10 world-beating GOTY-candidate that completely reinvents the franchise in a Zelda/Xenoblade style,Trust, once broken, is hard to earn back. If they didn't want to burden themselves with this endeavor, they shouldn't have been lazy and make bad games for four generations.
