Palworld looking-ass designs.

Nintendo 64 tier texture work.

Fuckass name is "Browt" these people are out of ideas

These are abysmal. The dog would be kind-of OK if it wasn't a starter, but these are all such failed designs its amazing.

Nahhh Gecqua is some Temu Sobble

Gecqua doesn't look too bad for a water starter, the other two look dumb as shit doe

Weird Rowlet

Literally just a pomeranian

Littlest Pet Shop lizard

Yep they're outta gas, good riddance it's been decades of this zombified franchise

shit who came up with these designs?

>>53750
It's the highest grossing franchise of all time

>>53776
and this is a good thing?

It peaked early on and has been defiled repeatedly. Everybaldi likes to shit on COD but at least they change between ww2, cold war and modern scenarios, pokemon is the same shit over and over. Its the highest grossing because the people who got addicted as a child never grew up and are the biggest soyim of all.

JSID already, let pokemon die for at least a decade, then only bring it back if they have unique ideas for the game

While there is some truth to the whole "Pokemon is always the same ol' regurgitated shit" notion due to the formulaic structure of most RPGs, what they do actually change (aka. very little, honestly) is significant enough to some people in the fanbase (better known as cattle).
Now, outside of 9-year-old cacas, people who do get excited over new pokeyman entries are:
>compfags who just want the series to be always catering to them and giving them a gazzillion QoL features and min-maxed newmons / regional variants with every new installment even when such features or monsters may end up being seen as detrimental to the meta game (see: Gholdengo, H-D boots)
>TCG whales who just want more and more expansions.
>Niggas who have been conditioned into believing that there's gotta be a new Gen every 3 years.
>Nintendo shareholders since they know that the franchise itself is a massive cash cow and VVILL always end up selling a couple million consoles just by itself.
>And lastly, people who unironically want their nation (usually a 3rd world country) to be represented via a whole fucking region. This group is probably going to grow larger from now on due to the fact that Winds/Waves seems to be based on SEA countries.

I would rather play Unbound 6 times than play Winds and Waves for 6 minutes.

Wasn't goyfreak making new games yearly? I think one gen every 3 years would be an improvement over that.

Kinda, they've been slowing down as of lately (probably due to the amount of backlash they got with SwSh,SV and ZA, alogside their incoming SNCA AAA flop: Beast of reincarnation).
This is going to be the first 5-year gap between gens.
Also, fuck does this chart make me feel old. I started browsing the shardee around the time PLA came out.

Its true that Pokemon is a money printer that practically subsidizes nintendo when they make actually good games, or try to make something original. Pretty sure the 3ds was about to be a dnb before they started shitting out pokemon games, which must have sold a huge chunk of the systems.

I found out Winds/Waves is meant to be indonesia o algo [even 'tendo doesn't believe east timor is a country that exists], at some point they are going to make Pokemon Jeet edition which is going to make them a gorillion dollars because anything that mentions indians gets swarmed

I do wish they tried more with pokemon. I get that there isn't much that can be changed in the structure of a railroaded RPG, but then I don't get why they don't make a slight effort and make more open world games. Even if theres the risk its a walking simulator, Arceus was still much better received than the other recent entries. Also what happened to the spinoffs, I'm sure the goycattle would be fine with a dungeons game for le nintendo ds nostalgerino instead of a main entry

The main theory I've heard online is that they don't even try with pokemon games BECAUSE they print money. Soyboys are obsessed with pokemon and reliving their childhood, they'll buy anything no matter the quality. So, as a company that is supposed to make money, why not spend 10 million to make a game that will make you 500 million in sales? Its much more cost effective than spending 100 million and still getting 500 million.

I wouldn't be so sure about the 3DS shitting the bed before they released Pokemon for it. Hell, the initial reason I wanted the thing was Animal Crossing which came out a good few months before Pokemon X/Y, and the only reason I ended up getting X was because I got the system and a handful of games bundled as an early Christmas present. Thinking back on it, most of my favorite games on the system released well before Pokemon did.

pokemon is slop it was never a good rpg

>>54010
fuck you for posting that before me asshole

Watch how Smashcacas push for another grass type for Smash while everyone of those fags pretend they weren't pushing for the gooner cat and monkey nigga earlier and patterning for the gay greninja rabbit as well.
