The thing that disappoints me the most is just how lazy pokemon will be when it shows so much capability to evolve into something new and unique, the ranger and mystery dungeon series were creative and interesting yet have no sign of a comeback, digimon comes to mind when shifting the formula and even addressing its more mature audience, and pokemon colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness are probably the apex of unique story telling and we won't be seeing the likes of it again. It's going to be the same archaic routine we've been doing for years, pick a starter and establish your 'rival', cross the region and beat 8 challenging trainers, beat the evil organisation that will have some involvement with the legendary pokemon, challenge 4 elite trainers and beat the champion.

SkyTech RTS who knows? Maybe Nintendo might step in and chew Gamefreak out. Most likely not. But there’s always a small chance that maybe Nintendo will be fed up with Gamefreak and Pokémon being crap just to sell merchandise, and will take matters into their own hands. Maybe they’ll put a more humble and considerate company in charge of making games. Because the last I heard, Nintendo actually cares more about their games, not their merchandise. The Amiibos are the only merchandise I could see making a respectable amount of money.

They def considered making shittier games that were easier to make and gave them more profit vs spending lots of time making a good game that people hated for no reason because of the bw/2 situation. Finally, you're saying bw/2 pokemon were forgetful and probably can't name a single normal pokemon from X and Y other than the starters (that even take time to remember omg!).

@@chaser339 well apparently me and probably the majority of people didn't think the same especially the ones who didn't buy the game, poketsars did nothing to help persuade people, while megas did persuade people. Megas were made for u to buy the game, yes, duh, that's the point of new game mechanics usally and what BW was kinda lacking. Megas are controversial however as they weren't given mostly to pokemon that needed it, instead it created broken pokemon. If you cant think of people wh hate the pokemon in BW then you must be a lucky person to be hidden away from such a huge toxic part of the community.

I just can't feel the same enthusiasm for Pokémon that I once did. I still have all the nostalgia, all the feels, but I don't weep for joy at the announcement of a new game and camp outside the midnight release the way I once did. The closest I'll likely come is when Diamond and Pearl get remakes. I've played Pokémon since the very beginning, starting with Red and Yellow versions, but Generations 3 and 4 were the ones that made the biggest impact on me, particularly the latter. Even then, though, it's sobering to realize that I'll never experience such unmitigated, radiant happiness over a Pokémon game again. Other things in life, sure, but not Pokémon. That's behind me, whether I like it or not.

I was a Pokemon merchandise collector for 6 years. This is absolutely spot on but I also feel that they make so much money from nostalgia, that they can afford to delay the games. They just DON'T WANT TO. They have the most profitable franchise in existence and still want more money. They are giving up quality over profits. The games are absolutely ads for the merchandise but hear me out on the following too. Since the XY games, the merchandise has been extremely focused on nostalgia and mainly Gen 1. Pokemon like the Eevees were not core featured Pokemon during SM yet they continued to receive merchandise. Same thing with Kanto starters. I will say that near 50% of ALL merchandise, regardless of which games are out, is Gen 1 ever since the XY games. This is also a concern for some Pokemon merchandise collectors as the merch feels stagnant. This Gen 1 merchandise sells regardless of what games are out so this goes back to, again, why they refuse to delay games if they sustain from nostalgia and it comes back to greed. The Pokemon Company has found something they can exploit their fans with over and over. It works every time. The only thing that could possibly stop this, is bad enough PR that points out this exploit in simple terms and it gets the attention of consumers. I agree to an extent that boycotting won't do as much as people think, specially when such a large scale of people are being influenced by nostalgia. I quit collecting merchandise after this controversy. I can't keep encouraging the decisions made at the Pokemon Company, when there are a lot more user friendly companies out there making games that are up to standards with the latest generation of hardware. We, as the consumer, have supported GameFreak as a studio since the start, making Pokemon as big as it is, but it's clear as day that we are just money bags to them now more than ever. They now made such a universally seen as bad decision, that it has caused people to see their true colors but others yet haven't or they have but will pay $60 for an antiquated looking game with less content than before regardless because they are entirely unaffected.

Its not just merchandise either. They're also trying to push their apps. You had to pay a yearly fee for Pokemon Bank if you wanted to transport from your DS to your 3DS. Now they're planning to introduce Pokemon Home, which most likely requires a fee too. The thing is now with the removal of Pokemon in Sword and Shield, you not only can't bring tons of Pokemon over from the 3DS/Let's Go/Go App to Sword and Shield, but you can't also return them to other games . So if you transported over your collection but you can't bring some Pokemon into the new games, you're forced to pay a fee just to maintain your collection, or else all those years of collection will be for nothing. Good thing that Meltan is in Sword and Shield because you can only get Meltan from Pokemon Go, which is an App that has micro-transactions....

I’ve seen quite a few comments get this wrong so here goes: to if GameFreak were no longer the main developer of Pokémon, the problems that plagued Sword & Shield would just continue. It doesn’t matter how good a developer is, the development cycle in place is not manageable to begin with when it comes to HD 3D games. Yes GameFreak does have their own issues like not being able to condense properly, however the issues people had w/ SWSH would persist regardless of who is behind the helm. Take Dice for example, the developer of the two reboot Battlefront games and Battlefield V. People might think Dice is the problem here, however one look at the rest of their resume shows Dice is a competent developer, making Mirror’s Edge, older Battlefield games etc. What changed then? Well, EA bought them and subjected them to unmanageable development cycles, not to mention the meddling by EA for MTX & little to no single player. So EA has the exclusive rights to develop Star Wars games. If they pawned off say, Battlefront 3 to another studio, let’s say...Respawn. The problems would persist as the management hasn’t changed, just the makeup. Even if Monolith Soft or...I dunno, Square Enix took up the mainline Pokémon helm, it would still result in a lacking experience leaving gamers feeling something was missing. Why? Cause the management hasn’t changed. The exact same Pokémon Company management still publishes the games. I’ve got no clue who exactly makes all of the decisions at the Pokémon Company JP in regards to publishing. The Pokémon Company is not exactly the easiest to dethrone, so what needs to change is who is calling the shots over there, therefore changing the development cycle of mainline Pokémon, which should theoretically result in better mainline experience. PS: this comes from someone who likes SWSH & who was brought back into Pokémon cause of it. Who does want the best for Pokémon games. I think GameFreak does care somewhat. I do not get that vibe from them, as they could’ve just relied on remakes & roll in dough for a good decade. It’s the Pokémon Company that does not care, according to this video. PSS: good video man, I like this one. Very snappy and quick to the point.

I don't agree that they never have to put effort in the games again. If the quality falls enough people will lose interest in the games and, by extension, the other merchandise in the franchise. Nothing is "too big to fail". The Walking Dead was tge biggest show on TV, getting like 15 million viewers per episode on average. Now it struggles to get 5 million per episode. Even though the quality is on an upward trend as of the newest season, its no where near back to its height of popularity. The reduced quality of seasons 7 and 8 did permanent damage. The same thing could easily happen to Pokemon if they're not careful. Their multi-million franchise can crumble. It is concerning that Gamefreak seems to be doing the bare minimum to maintain the quality of the games and keep fans on board. They're aiming to make good games instead of exceptional ones. Their mindset is clearly different with the newer games than it was with Gold and Silver, which they believed to be their final Pokemon games. They also seem to be training Pokemon fans to expect less. Still though, there are limits. It only takes one huge misfire to piss off a large enough portion of their fanbase and cause their newest game to only sell half the typical amount. Naturally that would reduce interest in the toys/cards for the new pokemon from that game and the anime too. I gotta admit, when I heard this Pokemon game would be the first on a home console I thought they'd take advantage of it. I thought they were going to follow in Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, and Smash Ultimate's footsteps and try to create the "ultimate Pokemon game". Back to its roots. Better. Refreshed by being on drastically more powerful hardware. Higher cost, higher standards. But, nope. They're just doing the bare minimum and telling us we're entitled for expecting anything else

@PokeHearts Fan hey, feel free to share this comment wherever to wish, I want to see people actually take a god damn stance and vote with their wallets instead of resigning to a self fulfilling prophecy, buying subpar games simply because they don't want to "deprive themselves" of something others are participating in, even if what they are participating in isn't worth the time and money put into it

@PokeHearts Fan thanks, honestly you don't even have to do much, due to the fucked up state of AAA gaming industry and the insane numbers they project themselves, the sales don't even have to be bad since games that have sold hundreds( hell more often than not, even millions of copies) can still be failures and are considered has having sold"below expectations" so Pokemon Sword & Shield only need to lose a relatively small amount of customers before shareholders get pissy and Gamefreak has to relent and start listen to those who've they angered in hopes of winning them back and increasing the sales again

@PokeHearts Fan I hope so, I don't want Gamefreak to shrivel and die but I feel they need to learn their lesson and put mote effort into these games before I feel comfortable buying, in the meantime I recommend games like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest to fill that rpg void that Pokémon may have left

I disagree in some things in that yes the company doesnt care but the people that work on the desighn ideas and anime do care its just the actual company push them to do it faster and more efficently it honestly feels like Sakurai and the kirby series but thats just what i think and i would like to hear what other people think.

I want a good game and I’m willing to boycott anything. But one person alone won’t make a difference. Something has to happen and the fans have to join forces!

Nintendo should do a survey of everyone's favorite features from other games and make a game with all of those. Like, I would kill for the Latios fly thing from ORAS to be in games again.

I actually prefer this breed of your content, Tyler. It's legitimate social commentary on pop culture mixed with absurdist humor that doesn't overstep or become obnoxious. I'm usually one of those commenters that only leaves hateful comments btw so, bravo!

@@knucklesechidna2124 it was never better or higher quality, the animation was no way near comparable to disney animation and the story was so basic with little plot/character development
