Topic	I've genuinely never seen this much bad PR for a game before (Pokemon)
LinkPizza 11/17/19 12:56:00 PM #175:	BanjoBoomer posted... The reason is obvious: they don't need to. Consumers aren't holding their feet to the fire, and they don't have the kind of self-motivation necessary to implement radical improvements without being forced. With every technical advancement in the Pokemon series, at least starting with the DS games, it feels like Gamefreak was dragged kicking and screaming to get to that level. Maybe. And people still want the game. If all that other stuff was really that important, people would probably not buy the game, and cause them to do something different. Unless there's another reason. If there is another reason, then they might just stop making the games. Either way, the games are apparently enough for people that they keep buying them... BanjoBoomer posted... Your experiences are anecdotal, so there's not much I can say in response to that. All I can do is look at the evidence I can find on the internet, and I'm not seeing any evidence that BotW caused anywhere near as much outrage as Sword and Shield. Sure. But probably more reliable than user reviews. Which only a small portion of people who have the game probably do. Like Zelda is my favorite game series, but I've never done a review. For the 3.84 million copies that BotW sold, only 13,133 reviews are on that site. That's 0.34% Not even one percent. Not even half a percent. And again, I didn't say it was as much. But it wasn't that much lower. It's hard to go back and find stuff, though. Social media doesn't keep everything well. There were some topics on this site, though some were probably deleted before they got archived, or were modded and are now gone. There are probably some post of FB, but who knows if they are still there. Or in whoever had the accounts are still there. It's hard to just go back and find any proof of the outrage. Though, to think there was none or very little would definitely be wrong. There was a lot of outrage about that game as well... People even still bad mouth it on hear every once in a while. Not as much as they probably did. As I didn't frequent this board when the game came out, I have no idea how PotD and CE were... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
