Is this a Jotaro Kujo's Bizarre Adventure reference?

Lost of interest over huge ammount of time. I'd say we have at least 15 years of pokemon coming our way

>>30615743
another gen 6

A deadly earthquake in Japan destroying Nintendo, Game Freak, etc and taking all of the best Pokemon designers with it

>>30615743
These games.
Casuals.
Hand holding.
Less than 100 new mons.
>>30615764
This, but it actually died after gen 5. Gen 6 butchered it.

>>30615743
Old age.

>>The last Pokemon game ever made is Entropy/IEnthalpy
>>Its to commemorate the Heat Death of the universe
>>It sells so well that we get a remake of a game two generations beforehand and a third game Pokemon Infinity
>>Plans for a next gen gets started despite nothing existing to buy it
>>Finally getting Gen 2 Mega-evolutions that makes Meganium good

>>30615818
Yes, Gen 5 sold better than any other gen to date. Yes, gen 6 killed Pokemon. I wish these whole "gen 5 didn't sell good" and "gen 6 was better" memes would die.

of course

>>30615848
But gen 7 is good and surprisingly doesn't follow gen 6's path.
Gen 6 didn't kill anything, if it did we would have gotten Z instead of SM right now.

>>30615869
Thanks, facts do make me feel better anon. Nice b8 btw.

>>30615743
Nothing unless they seriously fuck up the formula and lose a majority of their fanbase in one shot. It's too big/popular/widespread, and the series isn't nearly as bad as /vp/ makes it out to be, so we've got a long way to go.

>>30615894
>he still thinks he's right
Boy why don't you just leave the series if you hate so much now, eh ?

>>30615892
Actually, no, S&M ARE following gen 6's path to a T. If this continues, plenty more will leave the series, and this board will be filled with more and more normies. Gen 6 killed it, and gen 7 has fucked it's corpse in the ass with no lube.
>>30615914
>he still thinks I'm wrong
(You) first m8.

Casuals and handholding.
Both are getting more and more of a problem with each game. Gen10 will have a single road with Kanto only pokemon.

>>30615927
So I'm guessing you're staying just to complain about something that you're old enough to ignore and don't have any feelings for. Nice life story.

>>30615743
If they don't balance out something that can be catered towards casuals (which, let's face it, is a huge part of the playerbase) and hardcore fans, we might see its end soon enough through over-casualization.

Sun/Moon are the best 3D Pokemon games made to date, but the franchise has already been poisoned.

>>30615957
Not at all. I love Pokemon, it's my game, I'm deeply bonded to it. That's why it hurts so much. Gen 6 was painful, and 7 was even worse.
On another note:
Force your Palm around your neck, and Shadow Sneak yourself into the next life m8.
>>30615965
>he thinks casuals are the majority of the fan base
Nice b8 newfag.
>>30615968
No, no they're not. They're terrible.

>>30616002

I'm sorry, let me rephrase it "is also a huge part."

Haha, you Nasty Plot to win a fight, but not even a Miracle eye can save your opinion, for Unaware is a bless. You Stom a Tantrum, but it's just a Magnitude 1, all your Flamethrowers are but Embers. Sky Drop in a Giga Impact, Fly on a Sunny Day and meet your final Judgement. All your Boombursts are all Gusts in the Roars of Time.

>Gen 10 will have a single road with Kanto only pokemon
>this can actually happen thanks to the success of sun and moon
sun and moon and it's precious kanto is the reason I'm starting hate this franchise.

>>30615927

>If this continues, plenty more will leave the series

is that why Sun/Moon are on track to becoming among the best-selling games in the series? they already outsold XY and B2W2.

>>30616002

>Gen 6 was painful, and 7 was even worse.

I'm sorry there is no fucking way you can think gen 7 is worse than gen 6. Gen 6 is horrible, gen 7 isn't great but it is a lot better in a lot of ways.

>inb4 muh cutscenes

>>30616226
>implying normies didn't make sun and moon best selling games in the series

>>30616322
Yeah cause GF reeled in a shitton of normies with GO. So SM is filled with casual shit.

>>30616322

yeah what's your point? pokemon has always been a normie-friendly franchise, normies are what made it popular in the first place, autists like us on /vp/ are the minority and you have to remember that gamefreak doesn't give a shit about us.

that said, GO definitely attracted a lot more people to Sun/Moon than they originally would have sold if that hadn't existed, and they may not hang around for the next gen (unless we actually do get Red/Blue remakes/sequels of course).

but pokemon will sell well no matter how bad /vp/ thinks it is.

>>30616322
Anon, you do realize normies are the real audience, not /vp/ autists.

>>30615743

Aging familiar characters

>>30616339
SM has no more casual pandering than the rest of the series and at the very least is a lot less casual than XY. GO released at the end of SM's development anyway so it wouldn't have affected its content

>>30615743
The third nuke
Gen 6 proves this series can do the most bumfuck retarded things imaginable and still sell units. If you think anything but the real life destruction of Game Freak's headquarters can end this franchise you're blind.

>>30616063
not remakes, but revisits. Like, this is Kanto ten years after you played RBG

kanto/10 too much kanto

Pokémon Hand and Pokemon Holding
You play as a two year old in his/her first ever contact with Pokemon. Watch as your parents and older siblings battle and capture pokemon and then play with them as they take you to them.
You can cry until they let you out of the stroller, then you're allowed to walk on a leash until you burn out and have to be picked up.
At the end of the game, try and capture a pokemon by yourself. You may face the mighty likes of Pichu, Azurill, Cleffa, Igglybuff and Togepi.

Kek at the people saying Sun/Moon.

>Pokémon was killed by drowning in all the money it made from record-breaking sales

>This is what Jojofags believe

>>30616905
But JoJo survived its own destruction of canon. It went on strong for 25 years without a proper animated adaptation and without even leaving its own country in a relevant form. Then it suddenly decides to try going mainstream due to popular demand and BAM, it was fucking everywhere.
A little corner of hype aversion haters can't even put a dent on it.
