Why would they? Honestly pokemon is Nintendo's biggest franchise. It has the games, tcg, anime, and all it's other match world wide. It is a system seller. Any franchises that makes that much money won't disappear so long as there is a market for it. The number of pokemon is irrelevant. Hell there is closer to 1000 if you count forms and megas.

>>32814623
No

>>32814718

Stop saying this. It doesn't make as much money as it used to anymore.

>>32814728
Just more than anything else.

>>32814623
No games in the Persona series have been good, is it time for Atlus to stop?

at this point the only people who care about this series are hardcore fans and literal kids

it's like a drug that autists can't seem to kick

>>32814741

That's more of a sign that Nintendo in general is dying. Pokemon may be their biggest cash cow, but the series is no way near as popular as it was in the late 90s.

>>32814623
>implying Nintendo makes Pokémon

>>32814763
yeah but

it's still one of, if not the most iconic video games of all time

>>32814798

That has nothing to do with the subject. People say the same shit about Half-Life and that shitty series has been dead for years.

Sure it is not a world wide phenomenon anymore but it is still huge. There are not a lot of games that expand across so many mediums let alone franchises in general. Honestly your argument is like saying that Mikey mouse isn't that great so Diseny should just quit.

>>32814824

Not in America it's not. And don't dare mention GO. That shit banked on gen 1 nostalgia and nothing more.

>>32814763
Pokémon in the '90s was a genuine phenomenon. It's unrealistic to think that could have been sustained, and it's really not at all any real criticism to say that it's not as popular now as it was then.

>>32814843

Of course it is. It's like the Resident Evil series. That series is plagued by oldfags who've been playing since day 1. It's the same shit with Pokemon. Except in Pokemon's case it's a lot more pathetic since the game was always meant for KIDS.

>a fan base that wants the same demons over and over again and freak out over any redesign

>>32814837
Sun/Moon was the second-best selling video game of 2016 in the U.S., just a tiny bit behind Call of Duty.

>>32814623
I want to FUCK Morgana!

>>32814851
I'm sorry, man, you genuinely have no idea what you're talking about. It's just crazy to say "Pokémon doesn't sell as much as in 1999, therefore it's not a major series."

>be a big fan of Snowboard Kids and Power Instinct
>tfw Atlus hardly cares about any of their non-RPG-related franchises

>>32814851
But any series is going to stagnate over time. And yeah it takes constant work to improve it. Now weather we like or agree with how the latest entries in the series we can't say that the series doesn't make a lot of money. And it makes more with not being just restricted to games.

>>32814874

It's only major still because everything else Nintendo has put out lately is shit. Mario hasn't been good since SM64, the last good Zelda game was TP, and before that Majora's Mask, Metroid died after Super, need I go on?

Meanwhile, the dude who draws up all these Pokemon just shits out a few new ideas every few years and autists eat it up, and the games are the same as they've ever been.

Just ignore him. He's probably /v/ermin.

>>32814894
No, you don't need to go on. I realize now that this is bait.

>>32814623
NOT UNTIL WE HIT 1000

>>32814900

You do realize that before the crackdown this was basically /fur 2.0/ right? You're in no position to take the high ground.

>>32814894
At it's core it is going to be the same. It is a creature capture and battle game. Of course the game isn't going to change to much over 20 years. Because that is the whole concept. It's like saying COD is stupid because it is the same thing over and over again yet it is one of the top selling game franchises out there.

>>32814901
>everything I don't like is bait

>>32814894
NSMB DS was great tho
Zelda TP was just ok, but BotW is great

>>32814924
>BotW is great

I can't take anyone seriously who says this. BotW doesn't even feel like a Zelda game. And that shitty voice acting. Why is there voice acting in a Zelda game anyway. There's so many things wrong with that game.

>>32814921
Nah. I know it's bait because of this:

>Mario hasn't been good since SM64, the last good Zelda game was TP, and before that Majora's Mask, Metroid died after Super, need I go on?

Those are three incredibly out-of-the-mainstream views. Not that nobody has them, or that they're inherently wrong. There are people out there who think one of these things. Maybe two, if they're a dedicated contrarian. But all three? It's not bait just because I disagree with you, it's that I honestly don't think that anybody realistically has this opinion. And if they do, they're so far out of the mainstream that their views on the video game industry are pretty much meaningless.

So you're either bait or crazy. And either way, it's not worth arguing with you any further.

>>32814954
>this person doesn't have a popular opinion therefore his opinion doesn't matter

I think you're the crazy one here. You've been playing too many video games, and drinking too much tap water.

>>32814936
They wanted to innovate. It's a good game, not a good Zelda overall. Better than WW overrated shit anyway.

>>32815016

Ah, a brony. That says a lot.

>>32815026
To be clear, >>32815016 isn't me (>>32814954). As I said, I'm done with the discussion. Just wanted to be clear about that.

Or you know, the next generation of kids get into Pokemon too, just like you, me, and everyone else did back in 1998. You're really overthinking this.

>>32814894
>Nintendo has put out lately is shit

So what? We're just going to ignore all of Nintendo's other IPs?

Nothing is as popular as it was in the past anon. Pokemon on the other hand has the staying power to consistently sell 10+mil each gen which very few series can do after 20 years.

>>32814728
>>32814763
This is a joke right? Just because they don't sell 30 mio again don't mean they don't do money. 2015 TPC made fucking 2 Billion without releasing a game

>>32814623
Honestly? Yes.

I'm all for new starters, regional birds/rodents/bugs and legendaries, but I think that's enough. Let's improve what we already have, rather than just heaping new shit on top. Look at how many Kalos and Alola Pokemon are just fucking useless. They look cool, but all they do is bloat an already bloated Pokedex.

The Ultra Beasts and Alola Forms are great concepts, and I'd like to see more done along those lines. Give us really weird and un-Pokemon-like Pokemon, and new forms of old favourites that let them occupy different niches.
