"I wish declining sales wasn't literally the only way to get feedback across to gamefreak"

I really want to be excited about the new games, but it seems like they actively ignore any criticism, and downright go against what long-time fans want. It would be nice if they gave at least some sort of positive response to feedback. Imagine how happy everyone would be if they actually indulged their fanbase in some way, and brought back the battle frontier or somethingDespite overwhelming controversy from the internet and people as a whole, it just seems like we're talking to a brick wall; with every response to criticism coming across as "we don't care about your opinions, we're sticking to our decisions and we like money"After reading some of his interviews, and seeing how little they respond to their fanbase, it just makes me genuinely sad. Because I really do like pokemon as a series, but it seems like it's on the decline in the current yearEDIT: They do kind of listen to feedback, like how they removed the need to hatch hundreds of eggs to get that perfect nature/IV pokemon. But those positive quality of life changes just seem overshadowed by the removal of things like the national dex, and substantial post-game content. I actually am looking forward to the game, but I just wish they'd do a better job communicating with their playerbase via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/34OvuPm
