Has Pokemon shifted focus away from advertising the new Pokemon as much?
>>59070757Kanto pandering is the only reason people play the new games.
>>59070757Yes, once Pokemon Go released TPC heavily shifted its focus to advertising all gens semi-equally instead of focusing heavily on the newest one. It particularly effected gen 8, where roughly half the new mons never really got any kind of spotlight anywhere.
>>59070757The seeds were planted in XY when Mega Evolutions were limited to old pokemon.
>>59070837they probably got scared of highlighting old pokemon after BW since everyone hated the new mons and it became a core controversy of the game
>>59070803>all gens semi-equally instead of focusing heavily on the newest oneNo.Most modern marketing is:Gen 1 >>> Whatever the new Gen is > the rest
>>59070852A vocal minority of inpatient gunrunners hated it.I literally don't see the point of buying a new Pokémon game if you refuse to use the new Pokémon.
>>59070803>It particularly effected gen 8, where roughly half the new mons never really got any kind of spotlight anywhere.Id argue gen 9 got it far worse. The charcadet duo feel like the only standouts and even they didn't receive as much promotion as something like Corviknight or Dragapult
>>59070872*impatient genwunnersThe fuck happened there.
>>59070896If you wasn't Scorbunny, Cinderace, Corviknight, Dragapult or Yamper you got nothing in Gen 8
>>59070896The starter's first stages and Terapagos got plenty of promotion.
>>59070757yes, since target audience slowly shifted from energic, prime-life boys/men to females and sexual deviantsnow focus on shitty designed characters is almost if not more important than thé mons themselvesTajiri's and Sugimori's vision has long since been abandoned, missing the chance to add a more exploratory/contemplative, almost scientific, aspect to the games and their approach on pokemon and their environment
>>59070941As a sexual deviant I’m ok with this.
>>59070911they definitely advertised Drednaw and Cramorant as well
>>59070922>The starter's first stagesThats every gen I'm pretty sure scorbunny received more merch than any of the gen 9 starters>TerapagosIts effectively the third version legendary so that was pretty much a given.
