They don't make new pokemon spinoff games anymore, just mobile slop

I get it, mobile games cost about the same but make like 10x more money if you are a big brand like pokemon, but it's depressing because pokemom has had so many cool collaboration with other studio.

In the early switch era the spinoffs we got were fantastic (Mystery Dungeon, Pokken, and Snap), and the studio who worked on them were unironicly better and more competent then modern gamefreak nowadays with their new games.

However over thr last 4-5ish years they realized how lucrative the mobile game market is and stopped caring about full fledged side games, even the main games have significantly less content because they treat them as live service with the "raid" systems, which sucks because you have no single player content left.

I was stupidly hoping for a new Mystery Dungeon or Pokken tbh :marseytabletired2:

Pokemon games are legit boring as frick. It's okay to have nostalgia but also grow up. There's nothing there for you anymore

Frfr, I the only one I ever played was diamond back in school on a friends nintendo, and at the time I liked it since I was a kid and didnt play much vidya at the time. But then I tried it again on an emulator on my phone a few years ago, and darn the game sucks lol. Its boring, but even worse, it wastes so much of your time to drag out your playtime. Sometimes through backtracking, but the worst is constantly being roped into battles when you just wanna go somewhere. Mf trainer kids leave me alone or Im gonna beat your butt.
