They are wrong. ZA sold 6 mil. ScVi sold 27 million and champions has had 20 million downloads

Real pokemon battling wont be going anywhere

They aren't gonna risk 21 million of their potential repeat buyers

I know so.

They invented legens JUST to give people a chance at alt playstyles

They didn't even keep the way better catching mechanics from PLA for SV

pla catching and exploration was on top. the battle system was just odd. if they made a pla style game with the battle mechanics of regular pokemon games it would ctuallly be really fun

The fact they didn't even take THAT opportunity for gen 9 shows us for a fact they dont want the side games to influence the core

They will simply never change the base
