Bolt does have a point. Kids these days are more interested in mobile devices than video game consoles.I seriously doubt that, rather it sounds dumb to me

Nothing new. It’s been like that since 2012. Minecraft is more popular with kids than PokemonBolt does have a point. Kids these days are more interested in mobile devices than video game consoles.
I'm talking about mobile phones or multimedia devices. It's more the older crowd who buys dedicated video game consoles.Isn't that kind of backwards? Actually wouldn't the switch be perfect for kids then since it technically is a mobile device?
Still think something's wrong with that. It's hard for me to believe children would rather play shallow money grubbing games with very little content which make you pay for a little more content, then game that have more longevity, depth, frankly more fun, and more of playing with friends.I'm talking about mobile phones or multimedia devices.

We'll see if they still feel that way when fans start leaving because Pokemon can't keep up with games like BotW
Isn't the point of all the praise for BOTW that it isn't standard for games?as they become more and more of a standard in the market.
That doesn't apply to media, where differences between products is still appealing. There's plenty of things BOTW doesn't have that are perfectly enjoyable in other games.That's the thing about competition, if you don't keep up with what everyone is doing, you eventually get left in the dust.
I know it'll probably never happen, but they need to merge the Nidorans, technically erasing one or both? Because they'd technically be replaced by the One Pokémon.If GF were to erase a Pokémon, it probably would be Raichu.
And I'm well aware people are gonna bring up how that'll reduce the 151 to 150
He was talking about large worlds with tons of content. They appear to be one of the standards of console gaming.View attachment 110566
Current, Pokemon games are still selling millions more than BOTW-and that's being generous and including the Wii U sales. Focusing just on Switch, Pokemon has still near doubled BOTW's sales.

- BOTW doesn't have a multiplayer option-so how is it that multiplayer games are popular?
- BOTW doesn't feature racing-so why is Mario Kart Wii the 7th best-selling game of all time?
- BOTW doesn't allow Link to wield a gun-so how has the Call of Duty series become so popular?
- BOTW doesn't allow you to collect monsters and use them to battle-so how has Pokemon become so popular?
- BOTW doesn't allow the player to customize Link beyond equipment-so why is character customization such a praised feature?
If people are not content with what Pokémon is they can find something else no one is forcing them to stay or leave.We'll see if they still feel that way when fans start leaving because Pokemon can't keep up with games like BotW as they become more and more of a standard in the market. That's the thing about competition, if you don't keep up with what everyone is doing, you eventually get left in the dust. Hefty investments are pretty much a necessity to succeed in the console market.
You're right. Pokemon doesn't need to copy BOTW in order to be successful.If people are not content with what Pokémon is they can find something else no one is forcing them to stay or leave.
I've seen quite a few franchises change to copy what everyone else is doing, not because they needed more sales but rather because they wanted more sales, sales they didn't need, and in those cases things only took a turn for the worst because the franchise lost what attracted its fans in the first place because what they were copying and add was fundementaly incompatible with the core of the Franchise.
If Pokémon is to change, it must do so on its own/GAME FREAK's terms, because they see it as what's best for the franchise not simply on the whim that we or they want it to copy something else less the changes lead to detriment.

Game Freak considers Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee to be mainline games, but not 'core' RPG games like Sun and Moon or the games coming next year. It's unclear whether Pokemon Go will have influence on games after the Let's Go games, but the core RPGs next year will not have Go influence, at least.So I'm a bit confused, since I saw somewhere that there's going to be another game next year but LGPE is being called a main line game, is Let's GO just a sort of 7.5 game or is GF considering it the next step in Pokemon? Pardon my ignorance, it's just I can't seem to find any sort of clarification (also I actually really like the idea of seeing the pokemon in the overworld and having them follow you again)

Why do people always talk about erasing Pokemon, and talk about erasing either Raichu or Jynx so often?If GF were to erase a Pokémon, it probably would be Raichu.

If GF's erasing Raichu or Jynx, they wouldn't appear on merchandise at all.
Jynx even had a Pokemon GO advert poster all on her own during 2016.
