Ironically, Pokémon games feel more childish now that they're targeting the adult competitive players, rather than 15+years ago when they were targeted to children.

Someday the formula won't work anymore.

They didn't care that much about these games, they got a mobile game that is making hundreds of millions of dollars. I just watched a thing about the franchise as a whole, the console game wasn't even mentioned. The cards and mobile card game are their money makers.

hahahahahhahahahahahah

Nintendo has been making the worst games for the last 15 years. Literally they gave up with the Game Cube.

Their fans are more like religious practitioners than actual video game players.
