Hopefully some heads roll over at TPC/Nintendo/Gamefreak/Creatures. Pokemon is the highest-grossing media franchise ever and they can't produce a decent modern game. Meanwhile a startup studio (pocket pair) absolutely annihilates them by delivering an amazing Pokemon-inspired game.

Pokémon has been awful after maybe emerald version. Crystal and that era was the peak. 3d Pokémon is just awful. This game however is awesome. It’s fun

I don't see why they would. Pokemon puts out slop after slop and sells like hotcakes. Scarlet and Violet was abysmal, lowest rated Pokemon game ever, full of bugs, glitches, the works. Over 23 mil sold, instant top 5 for Pokemon sales ever. Sword & Shield? Another cool 25+. How did PocketPair annihilate them?

Come Christmas time, kids want to play with Pikachu.
