I’m Struggling To Care About Pokemon Any More

Despite being a lifelong fans, some are exhausted by the frequency and quality of modern Pokemon games

same
sword and violet just made me tired of the current format.

they rly traded a cohesive story and Lore for open region.

As much as a fan of Pokemon I never was one to buy every new gen or spin off or remake. I bought Red & Blue. Played Ruby for a few gyms on PC. Played a bit of Fire Red again on PC but didn't buy a new entry until Black. After that I bought X and Moon. Then Let's Go Evee and Sword. Lastly I bought Violet. So it's hard for me to burned out on Pokemon.

Good for you.

Stopped caring after Gen 3 to be honest.

Same here, simply grew up and lost interest, but the nostalgia filter still hits for things like the old pokemon crystal.

It was Gen 2 for me, I just can't keep up with all the new generations of Pokemon they add in, I'm keen to jump into Violet/Scarlett though to see what's new.

I always enjoyed these game until the newest ones. The open world is sooooo bland. I missed walking into some random house and getting a cool trade opportunity. Hell, I miss jut walking into buildings. There are not a lot of interior spaces in violet. And a motorcycle is not a pokemon. I don't care how mythic or whatever it is.

Always thought it was meh, there's far better games with actual real time combat

[Fist4achin]

As long as there are kids, it will sell like hotcakes. Nintendo doesn't care that you grew up and tired of the same formula.

Same... last time I legitimately had fun was in black since it forced you use new pokemon and not fall back onto old favorites

They need to stop adding pokemon and focus on better world building. They keep locking games to regions/islands. Why not expand to the point where 4 islands are in 1 game with Pokémon to hunt per region.
