Why do you still play Pokemon?

I mean what's the point when the latest games are the shittiest installments so far, and Gen 6 and 7 have set a precedent in short gens that rush games out the door and casualise them to hell and back because muh smartphones. The metagame hasn't been good since late Gen 4 either, and there's no sign that either cartridge play or competitive will do anything but backslide even further. Don't tell me that the Switch games or USM will fix anything because you know that GF doesn't follow that model anymore.

It's so bad that at this point, NOBODY defends SM anymore, let alone XY and ORAS. Pretty much the consensus is that the franchise is in a state of decline and they've abandoned any pretense of the careful craft that made games like Emerald, HG/SS and BW great. Yokai Watch is even threatening to surpass Pokemon in Japan as a result.

Why?

Stop that. These are completely valid criticisms from many different people. Why wasn't SM as great as it could be? BW showed that they're clearly capable of it.

I just voted.
Yes, obviously.

Yea to me gen 3 was the epitome of pokemon. Gen 4 tried to make the game more complex with the phy/spe split (and it had its pros) but it wasn't as good as gen 3. It all went downhill from there.

None of this is true. Sun and Moon sold great, pokemon isn't in a state of decay.
>Nobody defends sm anymore
I'm assuming you're getting that from the autistic echo chamber called /vp/. Everyone else enjoyed the games with minimal complaints.
And I'm pretty sure the newest Yokai Watch bombed, but I haven't heard anything about it in awhile (which should be an indicator to it not succeeding Pokemon)

And I play pokemon because it's fun. I've never been so nitpicky as the people on /vp/, I've just taken the games as they are and enjoyed them. I don't actively look for things to dislike about it.

>Why do you still play Pokemon?
Because is my favorite franchise. I had the bad luck of playing Pokémon competitively when I got W2 in 2013, and I think that both Mega Evolutions and Z-Moves are interesting additions, but the lack of facilities didn't supported them.

Right now I'm hyped for both Ultra Moon and Metroid II Remake, but my hype for Metroid is higher than Pokémon.
