    Pokemon is literally the same game over and over, I hugely regretted my purchase of pokemon x cause it was literally a cloned game with barely any new features. It’s probably Nintendo’s most effective cash cow in terms of effort to capital reward.

      It is literally the biggest money maker in the world. The games sell about 3/5 as many copies as COD with a tiny fraction of the budget. And then they sell even more in merch. And there are people (like me in the past) that buy Nintendo consoles just for those games.

      X and Y introduced Mega Evolution, arguably one of the greatest iterative improvements in Pokémon.

      With the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A in 2025, I’m thinking about replaying X and Y.

      Scarlet and Violet were so disappointing that I too am hesitant about future Pokémon games. But I’ll keep my eyes and ears peeled to see how their upcoming games are. I no longer am a day one buyer of Pokémon games, after being burned badly on the rushed Scarlet/Violet games.

      Sub in literally any Nintendo franchise and it’s the same problem, but Nintendo fans don’t care.
