>The most contrivercial things that have happened to the pokemon franchise in the last 16 years is tpc selling roms for 10$ more than people want and Dexit>other than that the games are just as mediocre as they've always been Considering the slop other franchises have completely fallen to, I can't say im too displeased.
>>58960594This. The Pokémon fanbase may be a divided wreck, but at least we're not as miserable as the various tiers FF fans. >VII moves away from 2D>Schizos have a meltdown>X adds voice acting >Schizos have a meltdown>XIII exists>Schizos have a meltdown>XV moves to real time combat>You get where this is goingTheir "new game bad, previous game now better" cycle is genuinely more pronounced than ours and they don't seem to catch the irony of it at all. Even Zelda fans are aware of the irony in their own cycle, and that's saying something.
>>58960708*tiers of FF fans.
>>58960594> The most contrivercial things that have happened to the pokemon franchise in the last 16 years is tpc selling roms for 10$ more than people wantSelling it at twice the cost it’s worth and even that’s over estimating its actual worth since there’s no physical cartilage to own >and DexitBanning Pokémon from the game so the shillmons get even more attention >other than that the games are just as mediocre as they've always beenthe richest ip in the world should have games far better than mediocre
>>58960708At least FF 1-10 are great games, and Rebirth despite ruining the story you can see the effort. FFVI mogs all the Pokémon games.
>>58960708There is no cycle with pokemon though its generally agreed the games fell off the cliff around gen 6 and only briefly recovered with PLA
>>58960749PLA is fucking dogshit
>>58960739>no mtx, no predatory nso sub fee, just a game that's overpriced damn...
>>58960749PLZA is better the PLA, it was reviewbombed becauee people got assmad about windows without playing it
