@IronMan30 lol your not wrong. We love the game but it has the same problem as Smash. The developers actively work against us. They want the game to be fun and simple and downplay the meta game as much as possible without completely alienating the old-school fans. Pokemon doesn't want to be associated with eSports levels of difficulty where things should be balanced and a higher level of detail is required.
That being said there are also opposite levels of fans who prefer the Nintendo mindset and want more interactions outside of battle like the pokemon mini games and competition halls. The amount of fans is so split that there's no way gamefreak could truly make a perfect game. So they stick to somewhere I. Between favoring simpler and accessible gameplay that generally annoys all fans because of the lack of options that gamefreak uses to ride the fence between creating two fanbases. One a hand holding hell and hey mom look what I can do!
@Wordbonder because mobile games are designed to get people actually addicted to them, did you see who made this? Tancent, even if it is pretty, it's going to hurt a lot of wallets around the world way more then a video game ever will.
@nessisonett I'm hoping Rune Factory, I love story of seasons, but the added fighting and partner system in Rune Factory helps me love the characters more. More time to interact with them is always great.
@Mipha yeah, Mayday was a fun puzzle treat probably my favorite if they hadn't made it a one off thing. Made me wish river was one of the weekly or maybe monthly chatters who could show up just to give you another puzzle island ticket and reward you with around the world based furniture.
@status-204 if anyone watched the Animal Crossing movie, they would see that even in the movie, one of the two best friends of the main character moves out to follow her dream (a seriously eye watery moment when I first watched, especially since that villager was in my town at the time and I sadly agreed with the outcome. It was the most mature cry of my young life)
@Trikeboy the thing about that is. It's a cute design, but Nintendo has options. One option is to buy the idea and make it (which might not involve the idea creators anymore and would probably cost way more then what the Kickstarter was going for despite Nintendo as a company being able to secure better trade deals that would make it cheaper to make.
Then there is the other option. To not buy the idea, but take it anyway, claim they always had the idea and just didn't use it for whatever number of reason, then it would be small potatoes against the giant decimating legal team of Nintendo to prove if Nintendo stole the idea or just decided to implement a "similar but not so exact that it's outright copying" idea to spite them. Which is perfectly legal.
Big companies steal ideas from little companies all the time and get away with it cause they have more clout.
