So what made them just decide to stop making interesting spinoff games?
Sales, only hardcore Pokefags buy them, even Legends sells worse then core games and basically only exist so Gamefreak doesn't blow their brains out.
>>59571863Figured as much. As an inversion, what made them decide to double down so hard on spinoffs in previous gens?
Sales and costs (3D development is expensive and TPC don't have a publisher handing them money).That's unironically why they went mobileshit - they can spend the same budget or less on them as they used to spend on 2D spin-offs and get far more revenue due to whales.
>>59571863Legends series ARE core games faggot.Legends titles have also outsold Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum BW2, USM, FRLG, HGSS AND ORAS.In case you missed it, for the world to actually give a fuck for spin-offs outside Pokémania, they need Game Freak setting the premise, concept and world and even Pokopia's going to outsell Crystal in its first year.
>>59571886Wow they outsold sequels and remakes, that's pretty impressive for a spinoff
>>59571867They cost fuck all to make back then, even a million was free money.
>>59571891Spin offs don['t get listed with core games kid. I don't know what kike bullshit you got told and fell for, but go tell the little jew that told you she doesn't actually control Game Freak, thus has no say in what's core or not.>VNR
>>59571860Game development as whole as gotten too expensive since the industry shifted to HD, gone are the days where a small team can put together an experimental spin-off for a major franchise, especially when you can just throw together some shitty mobile game instead.You'll notice Nintendo in general doesn't really put out small scale games at the same rate as they used to.
>>59571906>wow guys am I like one of those cool edgy dark web 4 channers yet, I found about this site through Instagram reels btw if it matters
>>59571860The smaller scale ecosystem no longer exists, or at least not in the same state. Instead of the Gameboy or DS systems, now they go to mobile or have to be big enough for the Switch 1/2. We've gotten pretty of spinoffs, but they're spaced out more than the handheld era.
>>59571914>projectionInstagram didn't exist in 2006 kid. Way to admit your youth online.>VNR
>>59571917I guarantee you had zero strong opinions about da joos before safe-edgy youtubers made soft-nooticing trendy online, you are a fucking secondary at best larping as an oldfag I can tell by your typing style alone
>>59571907This is what really makes me upset about the death of the dedicated handheld, some of my favorite games were the experimental GBA/DS spinoffs.
>>59571907>>59571922Phone gaming murdered an entire subset of video games, I get that it's a march of technology thing but it brought with it the worst microtransactions and PTW have ever been
>>59571919And I guarantee you're a projecting little shitbag who forgets the internet is a WORLD wide phenomenon. I've been backing Palestine since I was old enough to recognise the parallels between my own country's history and their oppression by america's owners. But do feel free to project your own history at me further. I've been censured by UEFA for my support of them while you were legitimately still in school and getting brainwashed by the brand to be a good little drone oookémon fag.
>>59571922Well that's the thing, there's no point in a dedicated handheld system past a certain performance/resolution threshold. The whole concept capped with the 3DS and PSVita, where Nintendo and Sony were publishing games that were just inferior versions of contemporary console games instead of unique handheld experiences.

>>59571860Unfortunately, mobile gaming is cheaper and attracts gambling addicts. More money in it.>>59571933God decides who's land it is, not Western society. You're on the wrong side of history, chud. Read Zachariah or watch Raiders of the Lost Ark's ending (Spielberg got it from the OT). That's what you and your precious "palastinians".
>>59571860pokopia was ok and had decent sales so maybe we are getting more console spin offs
>made westoids clittyleak and mindbroke an entire generation of liberals into supporting a terrorist group that hates themW israel, makes me slightly less mad about them having access to an infinite money generator
>>59571948Kek. I meant "what awaits you and your dogs".
>>59571948God is a construct created by the weak of mind to reassure themselves there's some meaning to their meaningless existence. The only meaning is what you make of your life.>59571941Look up what UEFA do to fans that bring in Palestine flags to football games girlfriend.
>saves Pokemon spin-offs Remember to thank your local Ditto
>>59571961>Look up what UEFA do to fans that bring in Palestine flags to football games girlfriend.I don't concern myself with third world problems
>>59571964I do like how it took Game Freak devising the bones of the spin-off, for the world to suddenly care about Pokémon spin-offs again.
>59571968>it says while living in one and having delusions of adequacy, let alone superiorityNice selfie, when you gonna follow through and an hero properly?
>>59571964>>saves Pokemon spin-offsBut at what cost?
>>59571995>Nice selfie, when you gonna follow through and an hero properly?Looked up "old 4chan stuff" on google award
>>59571860Money. Mobile games make more
>>59571860Another PMD game is all I ask for but they'd probably fuck it up>>59571961>The only meaning is what you make of your life.Yeah and evidently you've wasted 20 years of your life on this website and assuming people cares about some dumb football shit, so what does that mean in this case?
>>59571939i dunno about that i feel like there are alot of games where having a second screen really helps the overall gameplay experience.
>>59571860MoneyHalf of the spirit of spinoffs is found in non traditional games like LGPE, BDSP and LegendsThe other half is in mobile games
>>59572048>LGPECore series with some gimmicks>BDSPCore series with some gimmicks>LegendsCore series with some gimmicksI wanna see some actual experimental shit (for Pokémon standards) like this again
Define "interesting". We have had Pokopia, Mystery Dungeon DX, Pokemon Tournament, Pokemon Snap 2. Like what more do people want?
>>59572057GF just needs to make mystery dungeon again (in 2D style) and all is forgivenRanger is dead because the main gameplay relied on the DS stylus
>>59572078A fighting game - wait, that happened and flopped. Uh, a moba! Wait, same thing... uh... I see the problem here.
>>59572078>PokopiaGood>Mystery Dungeon DXWorse than the originals - the style is ugly>Pokemon TournamentNot sure what you're talking about... do you mean Pokkén Tournament? That was over a decade ago>Pokemon Snap 2Meh
>>595720832D is dead in games, unfortunately. Even holdouts like Disgaea gave in to being 3Dslop. I guarantee a popular game that's 2D and not some indie darling will never exist again.
>>59572083>gamefreak>mistery dungeonretard
>>59572088Octopath is a weird 2.5D style, but it shows that people still like 2D games
>>59572090You knew what I meant. Don't be such a nitpicking virgin. Also, it's spelled "mystery", ESL-kun.
>>59572092True, that's the one outlier than comes to mind
>>59572106Is Pokken really that bad?
>>59571860Other companies not named ILCA usually put in effort when given the Pokemon brand and it'd make the mainline games look even worse than they already do
>>59572083I miss her…
>>59572083They could probably figure something out with Ranger using the Switch Joycon Gyros, like how the Pokemon Rangers in the anime did their dramatic swirling motions
