I can't believe people are still adamantly defending such a weak decision. Pokemon as a franchise makes more than enough money to hire additional people to work on it. Most companies have staffed up for the HD era. That Game Freak is falling behind the pace is on them, and hopefully they lose sales due to their poor decisions.
They do have a ton of money... as a franchise and how that money is reinvested and allocated... may not be to a fans liking
No shit we deal with this on every franchise ever man. No one needs to adamantly defend something thats out of our control
Game Freak is definitely behind the curve and appear to be stuck there without some serious changes
Though i would caution people on getting their hopes up about dragging the 1000+ pokemon support anchor forever unless there is a serious shift in priorities at the highest levels
Pokemon Bank as a product makes this entire thing ironic as hell
People doing PR for Gamefreak and TPC it's exactly why we won't have this "fixed" at all.
Gee, the solution is obvious. Plan the games accordingly. If it's not working in time, hire more people to help / throw more money and resources at it. If there's an IP that could afford making really extraordinary games with how much revenue they get, is Pokemon.
People attacked the ones criticizing Let's go, and told them "wait for the mainline games". The time is here and the mainline games won't even support all the pokemon. So what's the argument now? Go and Let's go poisoned the games in the end, and GF saw the chance to dumb down the mainline titles considering this new fanbase.
At the end of the day, this reads like greed. Every past mainline entry was built on the concept of collecting them all, trading, battling with your favourites. Now the games won't even have that, so what's the point? And don't get me started on cutting megas and z moves for dynamax.
I'm not paying 60 for this. It's an awful precedent going forward.
First I would recommend this video. I don't agree with all of the points but he articulates the issue pretty well
- The solution isn't obvious. They don't just get to hire more people. Again there is a structure, priorities, business angles etc. Someone at the top has to give a shit about the customer outrage here. It's not like there isn't hope but its hard for me to gauge the REAL impact you guys are having in the grand scheme of things here
- Let's go has nothing to do with this.
- Greed is a big part of it. Priorities and resources are going to go where the company feels will be the best place for said money. Pokemon Fans are not the first or last to get up in arms about a shift in company priorities
- Don't buy it! I encourage it
