Pokemon should of been taken out back old yeller style, revived like that ben garrison marx comic, and then given to somebody crazy like kojima or swery. Pokemon games are fun in theory, they just need somebody who doesn't know fucking anything about pokemon to make these game
I want Norman Reedus playing patty cake with a quagsire and pissing on himself when he gets stung by tentacools and getting to battle all of kojimas celebrity friends.
Y'all got infinite money, do something with it!!!!
they should have given pokemon to david lynch, including game direction, just to see what he'd do with it. woulda been a good bit, if nothing else
Pokemon is a baby game for babies. It is and always has been designed to be played primarily by small children. I say this not to disparage it but because I so frequently see people wanting it to be designed for adult skill levels and sensibilities. That's simply not what it's for.
I agree that that's what the main games are for, but I also think that there's more than enough room in Pokemon's franchise for side games that cater to older fans with more complex battle and sim mechanics. Pokemon Colosseum 1 & 2 feel like they could have been the starting point to a whole secondary line of JRPGs in the Pokemon world with unique stories and mechanics, but they never followed up on them and now those games are just a weird outlier in the franchise's history.
Babies deserve kino too
My answer to that is branch out, play Digimon, SMT, Persona, hell even Palworld
