funny you only see the good games when they switch devs but not the dozens of them that failed for each of those case in point just recently gta trilogy.
Nice strawman. You are the one claiming that « Almost every game ip when it goes from the home studios to outside studios it goes to shit, very very rarely an outside studio that had nothing to do with the previous games ever produces anything worthy. »
I just proved you wrong. I never said that it would always go right. And again, you use a shitty example : GTA Trilogy got handled to a society experienced in making mobile ports, not remasters or original games. It's literally the problem with the DP remakes, they were handled to a company who wouldn't have the skills to make it right to basically make it ez and cheap and grab all the money they could with it. Please stop trying to put words into my mouth, it won't fool anyone.
GF already allowed lots of companys do those spin off experiments with pokemon, heck it has been like 20 years+ of spin offs not made by game freak and barely anyone cares about them, i would say the only renamed ones that people wanted more of were, Pokemon colosseum/XD,Snap(and the sequel was pretty meh by namco bandai tbh) and some mystery dungeon games, the rest of them people preety much forgot about by now and made no impact.
I think people do care about Pokémon spin offs. Pokémon Ranger did pretty good, mystery dungeon did too since they remade the original on Switch and it's been there for a while, never really liked Snap tbh but seems that it got a lot of fans, Stadium and the one on Wii have many many fans but now that the games are on Switch there's not the dichotomy between handled RPG games and home consoles with good graphics and animations but people are still asking for a Stadium-like game or at least good graphics and animations in a Pokemon game just like it felt great to see your favorite Pokemon battling in 3D on Stadium
But I'm only talking about pretty old spin-offs. There's Pokemon Unite atm which yes, nobody talks about it anymore because ... it released, but I'm sure there are a shit ton of kids playing this pay to win thing on their console. Pokken is a misfortune, they really missed the mark and the story behind the game is a bit weird but it had it's fans and could have done better but it didn't, true.
Oh and your mom probably played Pokémon Go on her phone and caught some Pokémon while sitting on the toilets. You are only talking about Colosseum, XD and Snap because those are only what you know.
Basically, saying that nobody cares about spin-offs is just ... wrong. Idk what else to say. That's bollocks. Otherwise they wouldn't make so many spin offs with so many developpers wanting to make Pokemon games because it would sell easily.
Again letting another company do it brings no guarantees that it would be better at all, alt east we know gf has some track record of sorts even if they dropped the ball on 2 or 3 games.
Yeah that's basically what I've said. There's no guarantee on it but you know, when you give a franchise to a company and make sure they can do something good, then they'll probably do something good. If you do it like Game Freak did with the remakes and Rockstar/T2 with GTA Trilogy, or even Blizzard with Warcraft 3 Reforged, a.i make it cheap as fuck in order to get as much money as you can because it'll sell thanks to it's title, then yeah it's going to be shit.
The only reason a company lets another studio take an IP is when the ip is failling to sell and isnt generating revenue.
Idk what to say, that's just bollocks.
Why would GF stop making pokemon games when they sell over 20 millions? that would be a very bad business strategy since its basically their only income, they make a few tiny games here and there but those dont pay the bills.
Well yeah they absolutely shouldn't stop because so far it's the only way for them to keep getting away with doing shit games. We saw what they could do with Little Town Hero or something, and nobody bought it despite the « oh it's made by Game Freak, they aren't making a Pokémon game this time !!! And there are music from Toby Fox !!!!! Please play it !!!!! » and nobody played it because it was garbage and didn't had the Pokemon logo on it.
I'm saying that as a consumer, we have an incentive to have Pokemon games being developped by a game studio who doesn't produce shit games. Matsuda is an incompetent and do not understand why people like Pokémon, why kids like video games, his interest isn't to make good pokemon games for kids nor adults, it's to make things easy to keep things afloat and run away when it'll be over. Saying that « kids would stop playing if it was too difficult and play on their smartphone » would genuinely feel insulting if I was a parent.
I literally do not know any person who wouldn't be interested in playing a great Pokemon game, an ambitious one, with a lot of talented people invested in it, with lot of means put into it. A triple A Pokémon game if you will. And most of the people I know are gamers, with very varied interests. Some are more into Playstation, others into PC games, more or less casual, some very competitive, some Nintendo stuff or into japanese things. Literally, NO ONE said no to a hypothetical triple A Pokemon game up to the standards of today.
No, instead Game Freak prefer to work on multiple titles instead of doing something that would make anyone speechless. They literally have the biggest crossmedia franchise ever, on their hands. It turns shit into gold, they could just do something so much better. But nope, if you can make shit and turn it into gold, why would they bother trying even harder ? Well actually there are reasons to bother ... But it takes efforts that Game Freak doesn't really seem to be able to pull off.
I'm kinda harsh, because obviously they seem to try harder with Legends Arceus, and I do hope it's genuinely good, but the game still looks like horse shit, it's washed out, it's so ugly and that's not even because the Switch isn't powerful, it's because they don't know how to work with the lights, or colors. Breath of the Wild looked way better and it had an amazing art style, and in comparision it doesn't even compete because they don't have the actual human ressources and talent to work properly and make a genuine great game, they just make something that's good enough to sell and keep trying to push the boundaries even further to see how far they could go. Cuz you know .... Getting those 3D models into the cartridge in SWSH is pretty damn hard, or maybe they wanted to cheap out on the cartridge, that's unlikely but who knows.
Now I'm not going to argue further. That's already SO FUCKING LONG and I don't know if you know about Brandolini's law, but basically whatever you say I'll have to take 10 times the time and energy to contradict it and honestly I don't wanna bother taking this shit any longer, strawmen aren't hard to take down but it takes time.
