On Thursday, The Pokemon Company announced that six months after Scarlet and Violet's launch, Pokemon Home support would finally be added to the games on May 24th. That, however, was quickly walked back, because the official Pokemon Twitter account sent out an apology, claiming that Pokemon Home v3.0.0 still does not have an exact release date. The update is now "coming soon", with more information to arrive at a later date.

BDSP doesnt count cause it was outsourced to ILCA (a bad move on TPCs part pretty sure if they did it (gamefreaka) it would be on HGSS level

Sword and Shield definitely feels unfinished even with the DLC.

And Scarlet and Violet are still an early buggy beta.

So many darn bugs there is no way they didn't knew the game was not ready and they launched it anyway.

The attempt at in-game humour is..

Given this franchise is basically how I've come to meet my wife, it's tremendously soul draining to see it degrade this much.

At present it still looks like gen 7 is going to be the last generation I even bother look at. Which is a shame because gen 9 in the tv show finally got rid of Ash.

I have a strong intolerance to blatantly broken games. It's why I avoid Bethesda like the plague. Game freak has yet to put out a functional game since.

So they're trying to cover up for a broken promise or a lie... Or both. Neat.

It's as if "Integrity" and "accountability for our fuck-ups" don't mean anything to them.

this is modern day nintendo where the fans get spat on most of the time

They probably found a massive bug at the last moment and don't want to admit that's why it's delayed lmao

At this point nothing can convince me that the next Pokemon game isn't a pile of burning garbage.

It would be interesting to see one of their games finally tank and see what it would incentivize them to do.

Because been awhile since I've been excited for anything the Pokemon Company has announced, honestly hearing Pokemon Stadium 1&2 was coming to Online was THE highlight for me from anything in recent years. And that'll probably eat more of my time then any of the new games, still haven't even beat Scarlet since I just stopped caring.

I agree, at this rate the thing I want for the Pokemon franchise more than anything is for a rushed-release broken mess from them to sell horribly, and for GF to finally cop on and make a game that isn't awful. There'd be more time between releases, but I don't think pressuring the people working on the games to have a release pretty much every year is healthy anyways.

Why the hell would they job out something like this?

Why would they waste internal resources on it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokémon_Home

Them dropping GameFreak altogether might be even better. I'll be honest, every time I grab another one of the spin off Pokemon games like Stadium, Coliseum, Battle Revolution, Pokepark, surprise surprise they weren't made by GameFreak.

There's only one pokemon game spin off worth for me, it's the mystery dungeon series... WHERE THE HELL IS MY MD RELEASE FOR SWITCH!
I mean, we had the remake of the first one, but that's it... Just like they did with Link's Awakening, a remake with not much extra feature...

Super was the last one and I never finished it so playing through it currently. And honestly I've lost hope for the majority of Nintendo's non-first party titles, it's just not the same drive for the side projects other than Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Mario...
