I don't think adding a new gimmick and calling it a day will ever improve the franchise either. My point about TPC having a lot of money, was just to bring the point across that they could invest all the resources into their games if they wanted to and work on it for as long as they wanted to instead of making recycled ass new games every year or two. The gimmicks in SwSh were poorly executed. Wild Area? Great concept that was very poorly handled leaving me and a lot of fans disappointed. Dynamax battles and especially dynamax dens were a pain to play, you basically HAVE to play it with other players because the NPC companions are useless, the turn time limit and the multiple life thresholds for the dynamaxed Pokémon are just a pain in the ass and not fun at all. I'll take mega evolutions over dynamax any day, anywhere. Pokémon Amie was cute, so was Pokémon camp but by no means are they ever the main selling points for a pokemon game, Pokémon Amie was also a bit weird with the more humanoid Pokémon like gardevoir or machop evo line. I really like LGPE artstyle and will take it over SwSh poorly executed engine any day of the week but it's gameplay changes sucked. The catching system was horrendous, the only thing I can give props to that system is being rewarded for catching the same pokemon species multiple times. The difficulty sucked ass, same with SwSh and that isn't because I grew up and got better at the games. I played through platinum again recently with nuzlocke rules and the difference in terms of difficulty was so clear in comparison to my nuzlocke run of SwSh. TPC doesn't put any care into their games anymore, they have the time and resources to take their pokemon games to the max, but just choose not to do so. Instead they put one of the most anticipated remakes in the hands of a developer team known for creating mobile games while they work on legends arceus which doesn't even look impressive due to it's unusually terrible framerate. They have 4 different styles of pokemon games and all of them suck and fail to innovate. My rant about 'staleness' still stands. And I pity the ones who can't see that the games lost their soul a long while ago. But hey to each their own, I guess if you wanna support games for the rest of your life that don't even bother to change the most basic of things in their games and keep them coming every year or 2 and are willing to pay 60 for an unfinished game, on top of all the other stuff like the season passes and online and home scam services then more power to you. I'll stick to the older games if I want an authentic nostalgic Pokémon experience and to fangames and romhacks if I want an authentic newer Pokémon game experience, which is completely free and multiple times better than the crappy mainline series releases as of late created by a multi billion dollar company that could create a much better experience than these fangames if they chose to put the necessary time and resources in if they wanted to. They just choose not to, it's as simple as that.
And because they don't give a ***** because they know people will buy their crap regardless of it being good or bad, they don't even have an incentive to ever change or improve the formula that is Pokémon mainline series games and never plan to put out anything above the "mediocre at best, but hey it still sells well" bar they've set for themselves. The state of this series is as stale and tragic as it ever could be, I daresay at it's lowest point yet, but that's ofc my opinion. An opinion that an enormous amount of people share I might add. Because they and I find it upsetting that this is the best Pokémon mainline series has to offer when it could be so much more if the time, care, resources and money was put into the hands of whichever developer was entrusted with handling said mainline games and remakes that the multi billionaire company known as TPC could easily afford to invest in and make it reality. They just choose not to.
Also seen a lot of people defending Pokémon legends of arceus when the frame rate looks absolutely atrocious, the art style is nice but based on what we've seen if they don't fix the framerate and performance issues then it's a rap for that game, people will ofc still buy the everliving ***** out of legends arceus and the BdSp regardless tho because newcomers and apologists will buy anything TPC makes and I've been there myself so I know what I'm talking about but I grew up and chose to open my eyes and face the facts that TPC doesn't care about their games or their fanbase, only money. (as is the case with most companies)
To the people defending gamefreak and I guess Ilca in BdSp's case. If you'd let any competent/somewhat interested/caring company handle the remakes it wouldn't look as terrible as the ones we got. The environments look nice in BdSp artstyle sure but that's about it. I've never in my life seen uglier chibi's than the ones shown in the first trailer. XY and ORAS had better chibi's and those were made for the 3ds which is a greatly inferior console in terms of performance and specs compared to the switch and switch lite. Now idk about y'all but I for one, won't be able to take Cyrus even remotely seriously in this ugly ass Chibi style like whatsoever. I've seen people saying they're hyped if it's a faithful remake because it will be slightly better when the remakes haven't even released yet (if it is indeed a 100% faithful remake have fun with all the flaws of the original like having only 3 fire Mons in the game and so on), and these same people bash on a fan's concept/vision (clearly states it's not a game fyi) with no monetisation in mind, for showing potential graphics and features Pokémon games could have if the necessary love and care to make it happen was put in it by the professionals. Also shame on the people who are always the first to threaten cool fan creations like this with ***** like "TPC should take this down asap lmao", you are the reason that TPC doesn't give a ***** about their mainstream franchise anymore because you allow them to get away with anything and will always defend them on anything and are the first to bash any non professional fan creations that don't even get any money from their hard work because they made it solely because they wanted to share their vision. If what was shown is the best Ilca/TPC had to offer than it's downright tragic. For the simple fact that TPC is a multi billion dollar company that could easily invest all the money in the world in Ilca or any other developer if they cared enough for that matter to make the BdSp remakes the best they could be, That's why the majority of the people are not excited for these remakes. If I want the best authentic gen 4 experience I'll just play platinum again or Drayano's Renegade Platinum over DP and especially over BdSp. I would've been more excited for a HD Platinum port and even HD DP port on switch instead of this horsecrap dubbed BdSp, at least in those games the artstyle is superb and the sprites bring the Pokémon to life more than the generic reused 3d models since XY' BS ever could.
Honestly can't believe all these Gamefreak/TPC/Ilca apologists lmao. So many people thrashing on 2 random dudes' hard work of 3 months to make an awesome concept/vision video with some clunky animations here and there because ofc there are, it's made by 2 random dudes who probably aren't even professionals and made this in their spare time in about 3 months or so, versus actual Pokémon games having hundreds of professionals working on them for years and somehow those professionals still manage to under-deliver their recent titles because they don't give a *****. TPC knows apologists and newcomers will buy their game regardless of what crap they put out so they don't care, all they give a ***** about is money. While yes SwSh were greatly sold games as many on here like to boast, the actual people that still care about and play those games regularly are close to nonexistent. From the dexcut, to the PS1 textures, to the same models being used since xy, to the non existent unique move animations for 90% of the Pokémon, to the annoying af excessive hand-holding, to the bland almost non-explorable one-way straightforward routes and caves, to the dlc paywall locked returning old gen pokemon, to the season passes being separately sold based on what version you have, to the paid online service, to the overpriced Pokémon home service, to the laughable nonexistent at launch post game, to the horrible online menu and timer in friendly matches and to the lies and misinformation and apologetic bs on the terrible decisions made by gamefreak/TPC, I beg to differ that SwSh were great games, they aren't even mediocre at best.
