Pokemon had the games

[–] Tumnus@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Digimon had (and still does, though they're way less frequent than Pokemon games) fantastic games. Digimon world 3 (while grindy) was one of my favorites growing up.

Not anymore lmao

Pretty sure there is a new Pokémon every few years.

[–] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pokemon Legends Arceus

Yeah you have to play the off season games for actual creativity. It's a sad reality.

The newest game has been the one that sold best compared to the others in the past despite the quality issues 💀

So yes, Pokemon does in fact have the games.

90s kids just need to come to terms with the fact that Pokemon is for children. Pokemon is the highest grossing franchise in the world, by a lot. They've made almost twice as much as Starwars. They have all the resources to create any kind of game they want and they are specifically choosing to produce this quality of game because they know it sells. If you enjoy them that's great, but I don't fit their target demographic anymore so I'm out.

I'm on your side mate, I know all this and honestly don't care about Pokemon nowadays either. I just want to play my generations three to five in peace lmao

It’s not “for children”, it’s “all-ages”. Like Mario. And that doesn’t stop it from releasing almost consistently great games.

Its target audience is irrelevant to the matter, it’s simply that Gamefreak got lazy as fuck and just decided to go for the easy cash.

After playing Scarlet, I don't even necessarily think it's deliberate. The game is plagued by incompetence more than anything else.

[–] Syrc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

From what I’ve seen it screams “we could’ve probably released a good game with another year of development, but who cares, it’s still gonna sell”.

[–] Serdan@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

It would definitely have been better, but I think part of the incompetence is in the design.
