What the hell went wrong?

You grew up.

Nothing, they were never competent and were only saved by Iwata stepping in and fixing all of their programming.

They got lazy.

They got complacent.

>>379336747
This. They peaked here and it was all downhill after.

They realized they could churn out the same lazy shit with minimal innovation and still make bank.

They didn't make a another drill dozer

They killed hail stall.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
RIP Walrein.

DUDE IT'S SO RANDOM LOL XD

they're probably tired of Pokemon all the damn time and are striving to go back to doing different smaller projects like Giga Wrecker and Tembo, which I think is a good thing.

They thought they could make games that weren't Pokemon.

>>379339682
People like him and OP don't even really want a new Pokemon.

They just want a Switch pokemon cause they think it'll make the Switch sell alot and what they really care about is their favorite company dominating.

>>379339842
I can see where you get your "lol random XD" from

>>379335981
They're still doing a switch pokemon, but it will take a lot longer than people were expecting:

http://www.siliconera.com/2017/03/20/new-pokmon-switch-horizon-game-freak-recruiting-console-project/

Basically they're were hiring 3D modelers that can deal with the WiiU level of details etc.. so 1-2 years from now, switch is most likely getting a mainline pokemon game, given all the spinoffs are done by third parties.

People raised their expectations to an unreasonable point and thus got salty when they were inevitably dashed.

Anyone with half a brain knew it was just going to be a Pokken port.

I don't like pokemon at all but ok, good guess

>>379340015
good comeback, I got nothin'

>>379340303
that's what I just said. You don't like Pokemon, you just want Game Freak to make them for Nintendo because you care more about how well a hardware is selling over playing a good game.

It's stupid.

Things got worse when Pokemon tried to be digimon with weird transformations instead of evolutions.

Also, we got old, while the franchise is still aimed for kids. The weird looking dinosaur pokemon were cool to us in the 90s and early 2000s, but for these days pokemon looking like mecha digimon is their cool thing.

The gym system was getting old, but instead of improving, perhaps stopping with the mandatory Type-Gym and changing with different types could have been better. The post-game have been terrible. And GF knows they can release a first version of a new Gen and a year and half later released a second version fixed with more content and people will eat it anyways

>>379340439
if I don't like pokemon why would I want nintendo to make more pokemon? your logic has to jump through some pretty flamingly retarded hoops to make any sense

>>379340192
>partly owned by Nintendo
So the answer is never.

>>379340863
Tembo was released on Steam and PS4.

>>379341012
Still does not change the fact that they are partly-owned by Nintendo.

God. You Unovabortions are the worst. You constantly praise the worst-selling Pokémon games while shitting on XY and now USUM, which is going to follow in the same footsteps as B2W2. I hope when GF remakes BW, it ends up being the worst remake ever, because that's all you deserve.

>>379341797
Gen 2 was good, but hardly the best. It had glaring flaws such as gym leaders hardly using Johto Pokémon, awful Pokémon distribution, and a stripped down Kanto. The music was great though.

>>379336747
definitely right

>>379336959

I agree but Serena definitely brought the heat

>>379340771
Because you want the Switch to sell better. Duh. You're a console fanboi.
>>379341541
There's no reason the rest of Game Freak can't be bought from Nintendo. There's no reason someone else can't develop Pokemon for them.

Pocket Monsters Red and Green versions released

>>379342702
Yokai Watch is their only direct competition.

>>379341797
>whole regions

>>379342532
They make too much money off Pokemon to leave Nintendo, it sells just for the sake of being Pokemon. They'd have to be COMPLETELY braindead to snub Nintendo and all those sweet, easy Pokemon bucks.

>>379342803

Their fanbase keeps eating whatever shit is put is front of them with every release. They are literally the CoD audience of the East, and have no reason to try or improve because whatever the fuck happens, the fans will buy it anyway.

That and very likely Game Freak is having a serious case of franchise fatigue. Tembo the Badass Elephant was probably their first breath of fresh air in nearly two decades at that point.

And no I'm not part of the problem, I haven't bought a Pokemon game since Heartgold.

Sinnohfoeti.

They're convinced that any movement forward is bad, and that every game should just be a rehash of Diamond and Pearl, but with more gimmicks.
> They love HGSS, which is just GSC on a worse engine BUT WITH GIMMICKS
> They love BW/2, which is just DP on a better engine with GIMMICK BATTLE MODES
> They hate XYORAS, which adds actual major new gameplay changes such as a new type, form changes, terrains and full 3D models
> They hate SM, which adds actual major gameplay changes like Z crystals and ride Pokemon

Essentially, DiaPer kids are screeching autists who will complain whenever the franchise makes progress, as they perceive it as a step away from the "greatness" that was gen 4. Anyone old enough to have played gens 1-3 on launch recognize their ridiculousness and laugh as they wait for DiaPer babies to phase out and be replaced with Unovabortions.

You seem to be forgetting that the models are fully animated
That is the difference
But the designs are identical, don't really know what you're whining about

>>379337119
Pretty much this, the actual target audience of pokemon is autistic children and they both take comfort in sameness and will throw money at the series forever, it is guaranteed money and Gamefreak has little reason to change anything. The sad part is that Sun and Moon have so much new stuff, but when you look under the hood it's just watered down versions of the same shit they always make.

>>379346475
>blastoise dont launchs pulse attacks from her cannons

>>379335981
The biggest problems are the flaws that Pokemon has always had such as the endless under-leveled trainer battles that you just mind-numbingly use any attack to defeat.

Pokemon has some good core ideas but with utter garbage gameplay.

>>379335981
why do you care ,don't you a hacked 3ds. pirate the game an move on cause that's what I'm doing.

>>379347078
They're literally the same design though
XY could have used more saturated colors but that's the only issue with it

>>379347193
Not at all, look at the proportions of the head, arms, legs, etc

Normies always look at the complete Pokedex listing for a game before deciding to purchase it, duh

>>379347960

>>379348114

I bet you'll also shit on Gen 6 Typhlosion in favor of Stadium Typhlosion because muh ph1r3 right?

I don't see why anyone would want a new Snap.

I'll never forget that I got it on my birthday, beat it in half an hour, then got 100% in like two more hours. Holy shit that was disappointing.

>>379348740
