It's inevitable; franchises get stale. When this happens, and it will, what do you do? For your consideration; the gritty, impossible world of Pokemon: The Reboot.
Nintendo Has Acquired Shiver Entertainment From Embracer Group
Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform
Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal
I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.
Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."
You can't make this crap up lol
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
I would play this game. Pokemon died to me after Red/Blue so this might be what it takes.
to me pokemon is fine as it is gen 5 was pretty lame as far as the the pokemon designs go(the only gen i have problems with the designs of more the 10 pokemon)The turn based battles is what makes pokemon enjoyable and if i want something different the spin offs cover that.
Now if pokemon does change i guess i would mind a strategy game or maybe something like paper mario(turn based but timing improves damage)
You can alway play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon for a new experience . It a dungeon crawler
Pokemon is ever evolving as a game but the core will remain intact or it's just not Pokemon. Now what they really need to do is create an MMORPG that can be played both through the Wii U and/or the 3DS. That's the type of freshness I want from this series. Classic formula, in global, human interactive, decent graphics, open world style.
Fun article to read though...
@IAmAMonster-
Have you ever tried a Nuzlocke run.It's like turning on hard mode for a Pokemon game.There are 3 rules-
1:You may only catch the first Pokemon on a route.Killed it? Too bad move on.
2:Any Pokemon that faints must be released or boxed.They are seen as dead and can no longer be used.
3:Nickname all Pokemon.Crazy as it sounds this makes it more painful when Bob the Mudkip dies(You can't ever use him again,remember?).
It might seem foolish to put these limits on yourself but it gives the game some new life.Also,enjoyed the opinion piece.Nintendo should let NIS make the next Pokemon game-Level 9999 Bob the Mudkip? Sure, why not?
Edit:In rule 2 I forgot to add-If all your Pokemon have fainted its Game Over.Delete your save data.
