Yeah, if they really wanted to do something Kanto-based and impressive they would have stuck the island Mewtwo’s weird abandonned lab/fortress was on in the game and have the player confront and capture him like in the very first film :D.

Mewtwo’s palace is one of my favorite places ever

I like Psychic types, but those two I dislike. I think it’s fair to say I prefer Gumshoos and long neck Exeggutor.

Hey, I love Sigilyph! Psychic-types are my absolute favorite and its bizzare design is great. Mega Slowbro… well, I don’t dislike it, at least not anymore than I do Gumshoos.

So if I said I like Donald Trump you’d be totally cool with that? 😀

“over half of the people playing it are not pokemon fans and are just playing it to pass the time or because its the in thing” This is exactly why it’s lasting so long. It’s summer and there’s a trendy thing around, so naturally everyone who wants to be trendy is getting involved in it until the next hideous mutation of Candy Crush comes along. For many it’s more of a habit than something they genuinely enjoy.

Also the vocal dislike for it isn’t related to its drop in popularity. The people who actively dislike it now are the people who have been actively disliking it for weeks.

Amen to the anti-Pokemon GO rant.
Most genwunners don’t really love pokemon, they just desparately want their childhoods back because they’ve realised their adult lives suck. That and they’re not good enough to play competatively anymore because they only understand gen1 rules and can’t comprehend fairy.

On the bright side: They said the kids playing video games should get out more, and they got their wish alright. I don’t think anyone will be telling gamers to get out the house and enjoy the fresh air in a hurry anymore 😀

Most importantly though, this: “a good game for the people who have been faithful and enjoying pokemon for as long as they’ve been into it.”
I remember my days starting in Gen 3 (700+ hours), then Gen 2, then Gen 1, then the excitement of Gen 4 (first day I got it I played for 36 hours straight, got about 500 hours total), then the mixed reaction but general happiness with Gen 5, then the slightly gap, then the arrival of Gen 6, also mixed, but more positive than Gen 5. Then the Gen 3 remakes which did well. And now here I stand, awaiting Gen 7. Again feelings are mixed, but there are already new pokemon I am happy with and I can’t wait for a tropical region. It is the dedicated people with similar stories to mine for whom Gen 7 should be built.

To focus too heavily on Gen 1 now would forsake those greater years that followed.

Yeah. I want Miror B in HD 😀
I could forgive them for diverging from the Shadow Pokemon idea slightly though. It would be a good excuse to try out some new ideas, like a region that’s nothing but drastically different islands or making something heavily story centric, comparable to the films. The locations in the films almost always seem to outshine the games. The sea crown/palace from the Manaphy film, the castle and tree from the Lucario film, that tower that was based on the sagrada de famila for gen 4, and now the mechanical castle of Volcanion and Magearna. Heck, even Mewtwo’s palace from the first film was cooler than a fair number of places from the games.

Frankly I think they should stop at D&P, I think B&W are too modern to need a remake. Besides which they’ve got to the point where all the remakes are for different consoles from each other anyway.

Screw Gen 8, what about Gen 24?
