USUM and LGPE were the last truly great Pokemon games, in my opinion.

USUM was pretty much perfect in terms of content, and LGPE, while a bit less content-packed, had the best visual presentation and overall atmosphere in any Pokemon game.

I've still had fun with some of the more recent Pokemon games like SwSh and PLA, but SV was disappointing and Z-A not being turn-based is even more disappointing.

I hope that future games are better than Gen 9, but I'm starting to think that MAYBE Pokemon Champions might be the correct way for us old-school fans going forward. Champions will be turn-based and it will have all the Megas, as well as all the other battle gimmicks like Dynamax, Tera and Z-Moves. Sounds like a win-win game, especially since I heard that it might have a Battle Frontier-like mode.

What are your thoughts?

Absolutely agree. I've always preached that gen 7 was the last 'good' era of Pokemon

>Pokemon Champions
I wonder, will Pokemon Champions receive sequels like Pokemon Champions 2, 3, 4, etc. Or will it be one single game that will just receive newer and newer (free?) updates for every new generation?

XY were the last pokemon games and the first ones that actually failed.

Mega Evolution is one of the best things to ever happen to Pokemon. XY were incomplete games maybe, but they definitely didn't fail.

stupid gimmicks like Megas are one of the reason this franchise shat the bed so badly

No. It's just that all other gimmicks (Z-Moves, Dynamax, Tera) are vastly inferior to Megas

I didn't want to open a new thread for this, but was there anything about Champions in the leaks or was this not leaked because technically the development is outside of GameFreak?

megas are goated
z moves are whatever
dynamax should've been the same mechanically but without the stupid size increase
terastal is great but looks fucking stupid
