Re: Random: The Pokémon Company Re-Uploads Its Pokémon Unite Videos, And Fans Aren't Happy

First let me say I think it’s awesome how passionate Pokemon fans are...you are the reason it’s the highest grossing property in the world. Your passion and enthusiasm is unmatched and I understand your pain when the Pokémon company doesn’t produce products that you think aren’t for you. I am a huge Mario and Legend of Zelda fan. By the time Pokemon came out I was already a teenager and playing games like ZOOT, Metal Gear, FF7 etc. So I have never really been a Pokémon fan. I tried to get into the series with Let’s Go and Sword with my daughter but it just wasn’t my thing.
I do however really enjoy MOBAS. Regardless of what you think of tencent they have produced and supported many good games, including MOBAS. I think this game looks fantastic. This is an awesome opportunity to get people into Pokémon that may not otherwise be into the franchise. I don’t see a I’ll lot of ppl flaming Nintendo for making various Mario games that arent platformers. In fact I see love and support for games like Hyrule Warriors and Mario Rabbids. (Probably bad examples cause they are both awesome)
Lastly this game in no shape, way, or form is taking away Gamefreaks resources to produce the next mainline Pokémon. Tencent and it’s devs made the game and most likely funded its production. If the game is popular it will make tons of $$$. Game freak can use that money to make better mainline games. Also this doesn’t look like you average LOL clone. As a MOBA fan I think this has been streamlined to be easier for causal players...which is GREAT! There is to many choices on upgrades and leveling in the usual MOBA. If this game can emulate what smash does for the fighting genre (casual style that is easy to pickup and be successful) it will be tons of fun. There is no way I am trying to play Smite or Arena of Valor with my Wife and Daughter, but a casual Pokémon MOBA could be a great couch co op. Hopefully some of you can understand my differing perspective and understand why this game was made and is a good thing for the Pokémon brand.
