Pokemon isn't worth playing and hasn't been since at the very latest Black and White 2 (Personally I'd say earlier like HG and SS, but the 5th gen was pretty good, I won't lie). Not that it wasn't a cash grab then, but at least the games didn't corrupt your game files, force you to use an online-only backup service you have to pay for in addition to the game for them if that possible happened and just make a game that's so fucking unoptimized (not to mention adding gay gimmicks that add nothing to the actual playing experiece like Mega-Evolutuions). I don't know how they did it but Game Freak made a cashcow and internationally renown franchise shit. Shit like this is why you must stop making games in a game series after a while even if they are phenomenal: after a while, the devs forget what makes it good or the people that made it good leave and then they half-ass it and turn gold into runny shit.
