Have you ever noticed they've stopped making third games the exact moment it became obvious what their title would be immediately after the main games came out? Hear me out
>Pokemon Yellow: being the first gen, no one expected there to be a third game at all
>Pokemon Crystal: No one could've guessed the third game would be about Suicune, and even then, what the fuck do gold, silver and crystal have in common?
>Pokemon Emerald: this becomes obvious when you find out the third game is about rayquaza, but being the first time there's a dragon legendary linked to the two boxart legendary, and with its relation to Groudon and Kyogre not really clear in RS, it wasn't obvious that would be the case
>Pokemon Platinum: Now you immediately know the third game will be about Giratina, but what the fuck is the link between between pearls, diamonds and platinum
>Pokemon BW: The legendaries are literally black and white and there's a legendary with a grey palette clearly linked to them? Pokemon Grey will be the third game duh
>Pokemon XY? The legendaries start with X and Y, their silhouettes vaguely resemble and X and Y, and coincidentally the only other non mythical legendary is a dragon type that starts with Z and whose silhouette vguely resemble a Z. Could they make it any more obvious that there's gonna be a pokemon Z?
They're just fucking with us aren't they?

No, they stopped doing that cause B2/W2 sold like shit, blame GenV for being that bad.

>They stopped making a third version because the not-third versions sold bad!
Nigga what

>B2/W2 sold like shit
>it sold more than Crystal, Emerald, and Platinum
>in Japan it sold only a few thousand less than Yellow and FRLG
End this meme.

You heard me, that's the reason they are making only main versions now.
>>
>>28511404
Even if the third versions don't sell as well, the amount of time that goes into adding more shit as opposed to making a whole new game still makes it hella profitable. Plus, they can ride that wave to buy more time until the next gen. It was a good system.

GameFreak hasn't learned that trying to be innovative only works if you actually make something better than it was before.

>>28511453
>people hold off on buying the paired versions and wait for the third versions with extra features and overall improvements
Game Freak got savvy to that.

Not in Japan. Games are pretty consistently selling less and less.

>stop making third versions prior to B2W2
>but lel they didn't make any more because of B2W2
you make no sense, but ok

A lack of Z really screwed over Kalos. Characters like Tierno and the scientists could have been fleshed out, places like the other power plant sectors and there were so many hints towards bigger things.
>>
>>28511628
Yes. Kalos need more games, maybe a third version
>>
>>28511526
si what gas no game game topped red/blue, or gold/silvers sales you retard

>>28511628
>B2/W2 were released in 2012
>X/Y were released in 2013
>OR/AS were released in 2014
>S/M are going to be released this year
So many games were in development,I don't think that they even wanted to consider a 3rd version.
>>
>>28511628
I'm only miffed by no Z because I wanted more Megas
