Pokemon just doesn’t give a fuck. Even their Tcg uses the flimsiest materials, it’s the biggest low effort franchise that’s ever existed, perpetually living off the good will of autistic millennials

playing the modern games makes me baffled as to why anyone still likes this series. it's the most mind numbingly boring and easy jrpg that has a collectathon attached. remove the ip and all the recent games are 4/10 at best.

But what is there to hate about a billion dollar franchise that spends peanuts on its main series games, which come out looking like they could run on a gamecube, filled with bugs, and with on-disc DLC that costs $30, making the true came in all its glory cost $100 because the devs thought of a genius idea to make more money, you just release part of the game for $70, and then you release the rest later for an additional $30.

But Pokemon would never do something dirty like sue anyone who can make the same game better than them. Lol.

I never understood why people loved Matsuda when he was the director of the franchise. He is the whole reason why RBY are so buggy as fuck in the first place, because he was also handling the programming, and it really shows when you look at the GSC leaks, it had a development hell so bad that almost everyone at the team left. Until Iwata came along to clean up the mess in code and it's how it became more functional than the first games.
And games after that are very underwhelming, they're all the same but visuals, even the story is boring. It never really tried something new outside of adding more monster bloat.
The only thing Masuda actually did something good at the franchise was remaking GSC to have more content that are worthy, even if it didn't actually fixed it's issues like the difficulty.

do you think he was the only coder you retard? He programmed mainly the audio dev

It was because Tajiri. Masuda decided to base the games around one japan region and not several one. lol and you said you read the leaks
>Until Iwata came along to clean up the mess in code and it's how it became more functional than the first games.
Iwata just coded a compression algorithm, Again you said you read the leaks

He only made the loading times for battles slightly faster, and he actually decreased the game's storage by doing that.

How difficult is it to make a proper 3D open world Pokemon game?
The franchise has existed for so long you'd think they'd have figured it out by now. Are they just incompetent retards?

>The franchise has existed for so long you'd think they'd have figured it out by now
the vast majority of the franchise is shallow linear slop so they haven't had time to figure out open world.
>>
>>729876096
>Are they just incompetent retards?
no they're just fags that refuse to spend money. a pokemon open world is the easiest concept ever. you ride pokemon around like in arceus, you can use water pokemon to get around bodies of water, eventually you can use flying pokemon to glide and then fully fly later on like when you unlock the airship in final fantasy.

really that's all they have to fucking do is take an early final fantasy game and make it open world and add pokemon gimmicks. if they want to actually be a cool game then they copy botw a bit more and allow ice pokemon to freeze bodies of water and fire pokemon to melt ice. they are sitting on a gold mine of concepts they could easily make a metroidvania that uses pokemon abilities to unlock new areas and if they wanted to be lazy fags about it then the moves can be put on hms.
>>
>>729876351
All they really need to do is reskin BotW and actually put in stuff to do which can't be hard since they can just copy the events of the TV show.
>>
>>729876016

>do you think he was the only coder you retard? He programmed mainly the audio dev
Mainly, he was also assisted on program other things since at the time Game Freak was *really* a small indie dev. He even admitted in some of the interviews.

>Masuda decided to base the games around one japan region and not several one.
And that idea was so ambitions that the development team also left, thank you for reminding this, dipshit.

Its the new era of cynicism. People just want to be edgy and cool, what they don't realize is that there are real people behind the screen of their harrassment. People with families and loved ones that were, by the way, the same people that brought you so much joy in your childhood. Those people are being pressured constantly by your expectations and what do they get in return for slaving away? Nitpicks, mockery and threats.

A shame on these so called "fans" of the franchise, shame on you. I just hope that GF and TPC know that out there are fans like me, who recognize their efforts and hold dear those memories. True fans that will always be there to support what we actually love.

If you have the resources of The Pokemon Company, it'd be pretty trivial, but them and Gamefreak are taking full advantage of the golden goose that it is.
Generally it would be a monumental task to model and animate over a thousand creatures, but that work is already done for the most part since they've been reusing them for a good bit
Another thing that holds it back is the release timing, generally I believe since Pokemon is a franchise first, game releases likely are contractually obligated to release at specific times to help shill merch, the show and cards. Pokemon games have dev times that are a decent bit shorter than most AAA titles with them only being a couple years long from start to finish
The last thing is specifically Gamefreak, who have no good reason to let go of their license to create the games, the pokemon company and Nintendo have no reason to buy out their stake unless they really fuck up, but as I said it's a golden goose franchise that will always sell so they let Gamefreak be Gamefreak

They are incompetent retards but you're kinda retarded too for wanting open world Pokemon. Pokemon has always been at its best for the chunks of the game where you're GOING SOMEWHERE and there just happens to be an occasional side area like a cave or something along the way.

>>729878450
Swoosh were some of the worst games in the franchise and SV are barely a step up. SV being open world is almost solely a detriment just like the wild area was to SWSH.

Are kids buying these games for themselves, anon, or are they having the games bought for them by some slightly older relative? Perhaps one who wants a "safe" purchase with a brand they know?

Your cope does not explain how Pokémon games went from a very consistent sales range of ~15 million mainline ~8 million secondary titles between Gen 3 and Gen 7 to now consistently selling >25 million mainline and ~15 million secondary on the Switch
The tens of millions of people around the world who bought into the franchise during PokéMania did not all suddenly get a job and have kids/nieces and nephews between the years 2017 and 2019. They will also not be "dying off in large numbers" for another ~40 years, as if your cope wasn't embarrassing enough.
The Pokémon games are arguably more popular than ever, and this popularity has been maintained over the lifetime of the Switch, it's not the passing fad PokéMania was. Sticking your head in the sand and denying this is just bending over and asking to get raped.

Sorry anon but there will be nothing compelling about a game loop that’s been solved since gen 2/3. The game has been in the same state for over a decade. I guess they refuse to change it cause it’s just a children’s game. Pokémon’s popularity is propped up by older aged people probably 20-40s. Look at one piece, it’s entirely consumed by people in their 30s. To me all Pokemon is, is a slice of your childhood you don’t wanna let go and that’s cool with me but I hate when pokefags act like they have something that isn’t designed for 9 year olds to play. I have childhood stuff I still love but i don’t relentlessly defend the franchise cause I know it’s for little kids and stuff for kids shouldn’t be very complex.

>>729884626
That was just the bandwagon complaint. Still valid though.
Most people couldn't seem to articulate that it felt like a shallow retread of everything they've done so far in the past 4 games with no real sense of an actual generational leap into being something more, an actual stagnation. The complaints today about how Pokemon has the potential to be great and GF just doesn't try was a sentiment that was basically formed by Gen 5's shitty idea to reboot Gen 1 but do it fundamentally (and aesthetically) worse.

That's about where I'm at, especially with EXP share.
