honestly the daily puzzle game was the only thing they announced that even remotely interested me, i think they should just give up doing anything other than mobile games

I unironically hate that spinoffs are mainly designed for phones now. Stuff like Rescue Team DX and New Snap are now exceptions rather than the norm.

turns out it's easier to sell something on something everybody has instead of getting them to purchase a console
i bet they could sell the main shit on phones too if they wanted if they just optimized it, if genshin and other open world shit works then pokemon is no different

Game Freak LOVE the fact the Switch is successful, you dumbfuck kid. They're seeing sales they haven't reached in 26 years, not just getting their usual kids and invested casuals market, but a whole slew of consolenigger sales, who never bought a handheld after growing out of Pokémon as teens, but because it's on the Switch, they're exposed to it again.
Ishihara's raging the Switch succeeded though. HE was the old fart thinking he couldn't POSSIBLY see how it could or would succeed. That's why he phoned in the games he DID put n Switch. But Game Freak aren't TPC, TPC aren't Game Freak and TPC are the bitches in this prison relationship, so they don't get to tell Game Freak what or how to do anything.

Nah, Pokémon sells consoles. Even when a handheld did dogshit in the open market, they were guaranteed 16m sales of it so kids and the invested could continue to play pogeymans. That trend constinues today, BSDP's launch week saw a doubling of the weekly Switch console sales from the week before alongside the release. There's few Nintendo IP's that are legitimate system sellers and even fewer still release on any kind of schedule akin to Game Freak's. Nintendo aren't going to pass up an easy yearly doubling of a high-dollar item alongside yet another entry into the long-running kid's brainwashing exercise that is Pokémon.

If only you had these standards as a kid, maybe they'd have adjusted to suit the ones you grew in the last 5 years.
Alas, you were a shit-eating kid who ate the slop they threw you gladly, so here we are.

Honestly what bothers me is that the animations for Champions are the exact same as the main series. The Stadium series, Orre games, and Battle Revolution each had higher quality animations, so the fact that Champions is such a downgrade due to ILCA and Mobile Devices doesn't sit right with me.
