"We can all agree that Pokemon’s yearly releases are hurting the franchise"

Considering we have gotten Sun and Moon, Ultra Sun and Moon, Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee, and Sword and Shield in 4 year in a row all with mo substantial improvements aside from the quality of life improvements of Sword and Shield. I think we can all agree that we should stop getting a game yearly. I think we can all wait every 2-3 years for a mainline game to be released. That way, GameFreak can listen to criticism from fans and be able to make the games extra polished.Had GameFreak decides to make Ultra Sun and Moon the games debut on Switch. They could’ve had more time to add in new stuff. Maybe they could’ve had added new Pokemon and Regional variants that they couldn’t in Sun and Moon like a new pseudo-legendary pokemon based off Hawaii’s state bird the Nene, a variant of the bat pokemon or even a new pokemon based off the Hawaiian Hoary Bat, a Water/Fire variant of the Spheal line based off the Monk seal, and Grass/Steel variants of the Shiftry line based off Menehune as examples. Maybe they could’ve revisit scrapped pokemon from the Gold and Silver beta like Tsubomitto, Honoguma, Kotora, Bomushikaa, Raitora, Urufuman and Waaurufu.Maybe bring back DexNav and give it a sidequest where you find pokemon not part of the Alolan Pokedex. Have a challenge mode that has your starter get a hidden ability as a little “Good luck...” gift but the AI is improved.Why not also change the plot completely. Explore what would happen if Lusamine didn’t lose Mohn. Maybe have Lillie as another friendly rival whose starter has it’s hidden ability like if you chose Rowlet, she would start of with a Litten with Intimidate. Gladion could have ran off with Type: Null to prove himself. Maybe Lusamine isn’t an antagonist but an ally. Why not also have Mohn run Poke Pelago as a side project too? They could’ve done a lot to do a new plot.If Game Freak had taken 2017 off to make Ultra Sun and Moon good even if it was on another console, that could’ve improves the seriesAs I’m saying, I think the yearly release limits GameFreak’s potential. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2pJlpVf
