So as we have known for months now we are getting two sinnoh games. One a traditional remake with all the bells and whistles from the original, probably with a coat of Masudas perspective about modern games and the mobile market.
The other game is something fans, online anyway, have been begging for decades. A huge openish world, new take in the battle system, crafting, large tasks that take a long time (the pokedex quests look like they could be very grindy), they even included new Pokemon to sweeten the deal.
Its almost like...these games were made to be exact opposites of one another. One simple, chibi, what we'd expect any other normal Pokemon game to look like. The other large, new things, actual risks taken, not anything we would think they would have actually done just a few months ago.
I feel like this may be a test from gamefreak. Masuda and his ideas for what a Pokemon game should be (this and his last game being very faithful chibi like games) vs something new and innovative. Do they want to test what the fandom actually wants with these two games? Do they want safe and familiar, or new and innovative risks?
What do you guys think? Is gamefreak testing the waters with two different sinnohs to see what the general fanbase values more?
