If it sells, it sells.
Nothing wrong with that, goes to show that people still like this sort of game.
I do not see the problem you are making about killing it, if you do not like the game, then don't buy it.
it's not a "sort of game"; it's the same game over and over. unfortunately for the pokémons company, i've heard the story of the boy from the city without a pokéman center, who chooses between a fire, water, and grass pokéman, whose rival always chooses the one that is super-effective, who then goes about collecting 8 gym badges culminating in a battle with the elite four and a surprise champion and in the process his pokémonic ambitions expose and neutralize some sort of criminal criminal plot to take over/destroy the world. Boring! Although I do admit that the game designers made the
radical move of making the Pokémon Prof in the coming series not named after a tree!
I suggest the following loopy improvements:
-A number of gym badges less than or greater than 8, better yet replace the pokémon leauge with something new.
-A game with
x legendary
ys when
x is not equal to 3.
-Non-linear plot, involving like choices and stuff!
-An unpredictable not crappy plot that will make me want to actually read what people say (comes with the above)
-Starter pokémon of new types (psychic/dark/metal/ground whatever)
-Ending the trend of the heroes looking progressively lamer and dressing more and more like jap hipsters
Of course none of those changes would be made because whenever a new series comes out, people just play it to remember playing the older series and the former are simply built in the shadow of the latter.
(It's not "Pokemons, it's Pokemon, way to go for flunking 2nd grade grammar)
woah really dewd? you just blew my mind... i've been sayin' it pokémans all these years. see, misfortunately, pokémon came out after my 2nd grade, so i never studied "pokémon" as a vocabulary word in my grammar class (not just because declension of foreign borrowings wouldn't be a subject of grammar class!
).
