Except that that is not the message, especially if you take in account 02's epilogue so if you think the message is "Digimon is for kids", I think you either didn't pay proper attention or watched a different movie.Very much no. The difference between Pokemon and Digimon is that Digimon Adventure actually ended at some point while Pokemon has held on as a continuous thing. There's no revisiting a series from your childhood because the Pokemon anime never ended.
And while it was great to revisit Digimon Adventure and see those characters again, having them effectively tell us "Digimon is for kids" wasn't a great message. Nor is it something that Pokemon will ever resort to because they've made it clear that Pokemon is for all ages. You can get pokemon print shirts for work, you can get pokemon-themed wedding bands- Pokemon is not going to say "It's time to move on" because it's not ending and it plans to be with us for life.
a texan pokemon region would make me cry, and then I would also quit.All I can say is that if they make a region based on Texas, I quit.
Probably for different reasons, for me it's that I spent over 60 hours crafting a Texas region for a long-form fanfic lmao.a texan pokemon region would make me cry, and then I would also quit.
OOOH, then yeah, I'm crying because I hate texas usually as a jokeProbably for different reasons, for me it's that I spent over 60 hours crafting a Texas region for a long-form fanfic lmao.
You're kind of right, if you take 02's epilogue into account, but the specific message in Last Evolution was "children have potential and adults don't" and the timing was like "we're taking your kid things away so you can focus on being an adult." So while 02 does take away the sting, the movie was very much "put your toys down," which is very much the opposite of Pokemon, which has practically been telling us for the past few years "make Pokemon part of your whole life."Except that that is not the message, especially if you take in account 02's epilogue so if you think the message is "Digimon is for kids", I think you either didn't pay proper attention or watched a different movie.
That said (Since this is not a Digimon thread but a Pokémon one), I don't think we'll see Gen 9 this year. I guess next year but Khu had hinted at DLC in April for Arceus. So probably DLC, sit out the rest of the year as they work on it, and then Gen 9.
As far as the nostalgia goes, Pokémon will always use it. The entire Journeys anime is pisspoor and is just nostalgia bait galore. And it makes sense from a marketing standpoint too. Familiar faces for older fans looking to return or with young cousins, nieces or maybe even kids of themselves and new faces for the new generation of fans. (I also personally don't think the nostalgia is that bad in Pokémon. I find that Pokémon happens to spread out quite considerably over multiple mons/instances, especially compared to a lot of other franchises out there.)
As far as the new region goes. I don't have a preference. Just make something cool out of it and we're good. Though at one part, speculating about the new region is always one part of the fun.
Probably not. At most a hint that it's in development and maybe a new Pokemon (but even that's more than we'll probably get).So uh... Pokémon Presents on Sunday. Gen 9?? Don't want to be overly hopeful or speculative
I am betting either Legends DLC, Gen 9, or both.So uh... Pokémon Presents on Sunday. Gen 9?? Don't want to be overly hopeful or speculative
There is absolutely no way that they are going to try to stretch Gen 8 out for another four years. Not happening.Again, they could extend this gen and make gen IX coincide with the 30th anniversary.
What else would they even release if they wanted to stretch it out? There's no third version to make since the expansion pass took the place of that. Another set of remakes? So soon? No way? Arceus sequel? Also no way.There is absolutely no way that they are going to try to stretch Gen 8 out for another four years. Not happening.
