I feel it in my gut that some day Pokemon is going to have his "BotW"-like game that will make it revolutionary and relevant again, but until then we're gonna get a lot of stinkers.

    They don't even have to do anything new, they just have to look at Cassette Beasts to see how to pull off an open world Pokemon-like game.

    And you'll have a certain group of diehard fans who believe it "isn't a real pokémon game" because of the changes lol.

    Pokemon never catered to the die hards.

    The money they make is always from new fans. Which is why they went that path for multiple generations. I think this latest release caused a dip in profits, so only now are they like... "Let's give them a bone."

    I'm more pointing out how BotW and TotK, while widely praised, seemed to anger a small subset of Zelda fans.

    I've never heard such complaints, but it doesn't surprise me. And I kinda get it, even though I find them ridiculous (with all due respect), some people doesn't like change or consider some specific elements to be the "soul" of a game and it should never be touched. But as a hard Zelda fan myself, I welcomed the direction BotW took, and I'm already looking forward to see how Zelda reinvents itself again.
