The Pokémon Company is thinking about how to ensure quality Pokémon games while maintaining the pace of their release

Sigh… ok. This will probably get some backlash…

I think a good start would be for the fans to be more patient. I see this a lot in the gaming community where as soon as something is released, they want to know where the next big thing is. Before the introduction of Pokémon Presents, I saw all of these comments speculating on what to display. Remakes of Unova, Black and White 3, Let’s Go Johto and Legends 2. That’s a lot to hope for. Scarlet and Violet was released a few months ago and yet somehow all these expectations are being met? There’s no point in saying “Game Freak should spend their time making games” if you expect them to advertise a full fat game at every Pokémon Presents or every year.

I think a lot of people oversimplify these solutions as “just do this, just do that” and be done. It seems like a certain part of the fans aren’t really helping themselves. When considering the reaction to the “sham” situation and in hindsight, some of the behavior displayed was… well, egregious (death threats? Defamation of Masuda?)

The way I see it is some Pokémon fans really need to pick up their nerve. If you want better games, be patient. Allow remakes to be outsourced if it takes some of the work off Game Freaks’ shoulders. Stop asking about the next thing. Keep your expectations in check. Hurting employees is not the way to do it.

I get it. Not many fans want to see themselves as part of the problem. You can throw accusations or theories about till Miltank comes home but in reality there are much bigger things in life than child’s play. I don’t know. Maybe I’m thinking about it. There is probably someone out there who will disagree and I’m sure I could go on but I won’t. All I want to say…

I’m going to enjoy the first half of the dlc regardless and won’t let anyone spoil it for me.
