when did you realize spinoffs would never return to their former glory?
>>57183665It’s been that way for a long time
>>57183665around the end of the 3ds life cycle
>>57183665Big in China though
Some time later in gen 7 when every single spinoff was mobileshitGen 5 didn't have that many spinoff relatively and gen 6 started moving towards mobileshit but there were still some there. Then here comes gen 7 with hits like fucking magikarp jump
>>57183665Somewhere around the 3DS era and the release of Pokemon Shufflethey just stopped getting experimental and spinoffs started becoming scarce in this period or more freemium games like Rumble 3DS started showing up and then GO came out and kind cemented that Pokemon spinoffs aren't going to be much more than mobile games now other than the occasional drop in the water like Pokken, or Snap 2.the Gens 2-4 era of spinoffs is long gone, i've made my peace
>>57183665It’s been shit since Gen 5 but at least that had Conquest
>>57183665For me it was with the constant onslaught of Rumble games, even though I have a soft spot for Rumble Blast. Final nail in the coffin was when the Orre guys put out Battle Trozei and more mobile shit instead of an RPG. I was surprised to find out they were behind the original Trozei all along, though.
>>57183743Rumble Blast and PokePark 2 were good tho
>>57183762No they weren’t
>>57183767Elaborate
>>57183777No
>>57183794Guess they were pretty good then
>>57183797No
when they started going mobile, but the death sentence was a remake for PMD instead of a new game
>>57183767>>57183794>>57183819dilate and have sex
>>57183665I have my faith a little bit up because if anything the Blue/Red Rescue Team remakes were QoL improvements for Mystery Dungeon and i just want to play a new gen engine and Explorers of Sky.
>>57183833>I said the buzzwords1!1!1Take your own advice and stop crying over your children’s game franchise
>>57183665Reminder that microtransactions still function for thisReminder that they updated the Chinese version up to gen 9 before shutting it down out of nowhere last year
>>57183665pokemon rumble was the beginning of the endi still can't believe that shit somehow managed to get 4 sequels that were just as awful if not worse
>>57184666did you play them? u, world and rush were shit but the wii one was basic but not terrible and rumble blast was solid enough to stand on its own
>>57183665The release of GO. Why capitalize on making high quality spinoffs anymore when you can just put microtransaction filled garbage on Phones and maybe port them to Switch?
Fallacy, assuming I ever thought they were ever worth a fuck.
