You say that and then they drop the next mainline title and they make record profit. Hell the last Pokemon game sold more copies than almost any other previous game and it looks like somebody took a fan game built on the PS2, slapped the new logo on it and called it good
I had checked out of Pokémon, like my 2nd favorite series, after black/white 2.
Legends made me excited enough to try, thinking game freak was making modernization changes and improvements on the series, only to feel betrayed by the unfinished mess i purchased.
I don't think I will ever buy another Nintendo game again after that, besides getting old releases bought used.
It's funny because right after I made this comment I saw the screenshots of Game Freaks newest project and they give me reason for pause
Except it isn't coming to Switch 2 😀
At least the currently announced platforms don't have Switch or Switch 2, so let's see.
