What do you mean by "developer that cared"? All of them are corrupt corporate entities and you know it.

>Pokémon in the hands of Valve
>you don't have to buy new Pokémon games and it would receive balance patches, but most patches would just consist of nothing but hats and accessories that you can buy from the ingame shop (thankfully P2W isn't a thing) and a very rare chance receive as a drop after ranked multiplayer matches
Would /vp/ be okay with this?

Someone like Obsidian maybe.

If Pokemon was handled by anyone else, Pokemon would be dead.

Believe me, Game Freak may not be the best on the tecnical side of things but compared to most AAA developers they are way more passionate.

>>32236379
How?

Because everyone else would try to make it Digimon and it would suffer the same fate.

Or otherwise turn it into mobile garbage that has no value whatsoever.

Because they created pokemon

Because that is the case. There are no turn based RPG with even 200+ playable characters that aren't shit. Other than GF, no one can handle something as huge as Pokemon.

There seems to be this weird idea that Pokemon is great in concept. It isn't. It's just another RPG that allows you to use a lot of character. Even worse, because those characters have zero dialogue, no personality. Everything you have ever enjoyed about Pokemon, it was GF's effort. GF's execution is what made Pokemon fun. Yes, GF sucks as Game Designers. But they understand what works for Pokemon. I have zero reason to believe any other developers can achieve that.

Daggit, they have a point. Anyone that would treat it as just a toy selling machine would put zero effort into it, and it no longer is a game. The only other angle is as an e-sport, and that is perhaps a worse fate because it then becomes something unrecognizable.
