The only thing holding gamefreak back are Pokemon fans.
Putting more effort into Pokemon games won't translate to more sails. Pokemon fans will buy the games whether they're good, bad, or terrible. It makes no sense for them to put any further effort in when it will make no difference.
A new IP is a different story and not a sure seller, so they're willing to put effort in because it is actually needed to generate sales.
You only have yourselves to blame. YOU did this, and that's why it makes you so upset. You know it's your own fault.

The leaks have convinced me that X and Y completely demoralized them about what the Pokémon fanbase expects from their games. That’s why everything since Sun and Moon has been slop padded with new gimmicks with little to nothing of substance, because they know the majority only care about hype and nostalgia.
>You only have yourselves to blame. YOU did this, and that's why it makes you so upset.
The problem is more that it’s the majority that will buy it anyway. That’s why most people are actually upset, because they know “not buying it” realistically does nothing, because a (maximum) 10% loss in sales isn’t gonna matter that much to them.

It was clear they had a bunch of ideas they wanted to implement in those games, kinda like how they experimented with the formula during gen 5, but they ran out of time, so they ended up pushing only a handful of ideas they had and filled in the gaps with Kanto/nostalgia pandering. It resulted in gen 6 selling slightly more games at a bumped-up 3DS price, even though the content they ended up implementing required way less effort to develop than the changes they implemented in gen 5.
It makes sense to me that ever since then, logic follows that all of the mainline Pokémon games they would go on to make would rely mostly on gimmicks and a lot less on improving the scale and the quality of content of the games themselves. Granted, the content they used to optimize was already minimal, but gen 8 onwards it seemed like they completely gave up on trying to keep it presentable.

>It was clear [MASSIVE FANFIC]
does anyone else find it funny how gen 5’s entire reputation hinges on its fanbase blatantly lying about it and hoping other people believe them?
but yeah true trainer customization and PSS did require way less effort than removing features and moving it to a flash game

I think in all my years of being on /vp/, there have only been a handful (at most) of people that find what you’re talking about “funny”. Most people don’t conflate gen 5 with “removing features and moving it to a flash game,” because that not what was done with that game. What you’re describing as truth is much closer to fanfiction.

But it’s exactly what was done with the game.
