I remember when people complained about yearly releases of pokemon games.

The Pokemon franchise makes most of its money from merchandise and the anime that promotes said merchandise, not games

>not recognizing that Gen 7 was a filler Generation that ended up fucking over Gen 6 because GameFreak wanted to rush something out for the Anniversary, when they were putting most of their effort on developing Gen 8 for the next handheld/Switch/whatever the fuck

>>32600867
>Gen 7 was a filler Generation

There is literally no evidence of this, if anything Gen 6 was more of a filler generation.

>>32600867
I'll never understand why they didn't just make Z last year then start Gen 7 on Switch. Z probably would have even made for a better anniversary game.

>>32600880
except for that the Mythical Pokemon imply Gen 7 will end next year and the inclusion of Gen 6 leftovers like Ash-Greninja and Zygarde forms. Not to mention how rushed they were and reused music from Gen 6. The generation that start 3D 100% isn't filler.

>Is officially Pokémon dead?
How is it being mentally retarded? I imagine it's not the easiest thing, but I'm sure there are many people that would help you. No, it isn't dead.
>Mainline games and spin-off now come for smartphones?
Spin-offs, yes. Mainline games, no. The 3DS still exists (for the foreseeable future) and the Switch is gaining traction.
>the next F-Zero/Metroid/Mother?
I understand that you might be too retarded to accurately understand the concept of time, but SM came out seven months ago, not seven years.
>I'm a Fag?
Probably the king of them, or at least in the royal family.

>>32600810
we're literally only 5 months into the year why are you like this

>>32600810
Don´t you think, it´s a bit ealry?
There is the E3 next month and there are more than 6 Month left.

>>32600926
This. Additionally, lumping Mother in with the others is stupid as hell. Metroid and F-Zero have been utterly neglected but not officially killed off completely. The series creator of Mother specifically said that he doesn't want any more Mother games created and that the series is done.
Big difference between a company saying "Yes this is finished" vs just not using the IP for a million years.

>>32600867
Was the 3DS just filler gens?

You realize Pokemon has 3 out of top 4 selling 3ds game.

GTA
COD
Pokemon

>>32600964
By Pokemon standards, isn't that a pretty long time for no announcements? Or are we genuinely supposed to accept phone games as the new spinoffs?

>>32601148
X and y > oras announcement was 7 months. October 2013 to May 2014

7 months of sun and moon would be June. If there is no Pokemon at e3 then it's clear. No Pokemon game this year

>>32600973
When did Nintendo ever announce a new Pokemon game at E3?
TPCI likes to be the center of attention and announce things themselves.

>>32600810
F-Zero and Metroid wish they sold half of what Pokémon games sell.

>>32600880
All gen 7 Pokémon were already revealed

>>32600844
seriously
newfags dont know how we used to go years without new pogeys

>>32600810
>calls Pokemon dead
>OP image is a truly dead franchise in the west

>>32604427
It's kind of dying in Japan too. The Japanese didn't like the American setting in the most recent games so interest in the franchise started to drop

>>32603072
Lol half they would be happy selling 1/10 of Pokemon.

1/2 is still 8 million. 1.6-1. 7 million would be successful for them

>>32600810
I can deal with no mainline games this year but no spinoffs is pretty poor indeed.

Shit like Magikarp jump doesnt count

>>32604996
I guess mobile shovelware will the way to go now, outside maybe things like Pokken, it's a lot cheaper that way.

>>32600810
I hope not, Game Freak have released a new game every single year since Red & Green were released, so it's safe to assume that if there isn't one this year, the series has been cancelled.
The only exceptions so far have been 2015, 2011, 2007, 2005, 2003, 2001, 1991 and 1997 (JP Release dates), so it has NEVER happened

>>32605022
But thats so stupid, even gen 6 had its own console spinoffs. Now after Pokemon GO it would be wise to release more stuff like Mystery Dungeon and maybe something completely new on Switch or still 3ds

>>32605031
Maybe later.

No "kind of" about it. Check YW's 2015 numbers in Japan vs. its 2017 forecast.

>>32601019
3DS is just filler system

>>32605049
