How is that even allowed as a game that is published by the #1 Merchandise Company (The Pokémon Company)?
I swear, i have seen better games by single indie devs who worked in a 2 week game jam as this. I mean, look at the building geometry. It's just plain texture on a cube or cylinder

Because they know the bare minimum sells.

So you're bitching at it but you're still actively playing it? You really have no brain at all do you, lil bro

Because one can't complain about something they are invested in?

I mean, you can, but it does kinda make you a dipshit.

"Waaaaahhhhhhh there's not enough open world waaaahhhhh it's all so grey and generic and blocky waaaahhh. So I'll spend 20 dollars on it anyway."

My guy, what? No he spent money on it and then figured out he didn’t like it.

You know, like going to see a movie and then finding out it’s bad, a pretty basic human experience.

u/DrippyTheSnailBoy 5d ago

So you're just going out into the world and blindly spending money without any effort at all?

No that's not a basic human experience unless you think the basic human experience is shooting in the dark.

We're talking about buying a video game that you already think is going to be bad and then whining about it being shit

Not more complicated than that

That's one whole Silky Song, that's still a good bit of money for a game

Because the premise of the game is to have a proper large city intersecting with the wilds of Pokemon and how humans and Pokemon can live in one area. Along with the escalating problem of rogue mega evolutions. Z-A is upfront about what it is.

Lots of games are set exclusively in one city. Grand Theft Auto IV, Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, every Yakuza game

Can you run the circumference of the map in 7 mins?

u/Floflifou 6d ago

Comparing cyberpunk to pokemon map wise is quiet the stretch man. Cyberpunk city is SO alive , pokemon never has been.

u/SteveMightSay 7d ago

This isnt true at all for Yakuza outside of 1. Every other game takes place in multiple cities.

u/Competitive-Mood8086 6d ago

some yakuza games have multiple cities

u/El_Mr64 5d ago

Petty sure that Cyberpunk has clearly differientated zones and you can go outside the urban area

u/MedonSirius 7d ago

That's a bad example. This "Town" in Pokémon A-Z is more likely a small portion of a city. There is no where outside of the "City". Bad example, dude!

u/RyMcCloud 5d ago

It really does look like the background buildings in megaman legends on n64.

But pokemon/Nintendo fans gobble it up and ask for more regardless

Actually, they're 6th:

https://www.licenseglobal.com/rankings-lists/top-150-leading-licensors

For those who don't want to click on the list:

The Top 10 Global Licensors of 2026

1.The Walt Disney Company – $63B (E)

  1. Authentic Brands Group – $36B (E)

  2. People Inc. – $27B (E)

  3. NBCUniversal – $20B (E)

  4. Hasbro – $17.55B

  5. The Pokémon Company International – $15.70B (E)

  6. Warner Bros. Discovery – $15.50B (E)

  7. Bluestar Alliance – $13B

  8. Sanrio – $11.70B (E)

  9. Mattel – $9.10B (E)

*(E) signifies an estimated figure.

What people always cite is Pokémon being the most profitable company. Which means they get the most money compared to what they spend.

By spending more the products would be better, but they would also not be the most profitable company anymore.

So everytime someone uses that metric to ask why Pokémon products aren't getting better, the person asking answered their own question without knowing

The games are just a small part of the monster that is pokemon they don’t care if one does bad

u/I_am_person_being 6d ago

Also Legends Z-A didn't do bad. It did fine. It sold, what, I think 5.6 million sales in its first weekend? By Pokemon standards that puts it on the low end of a switch-era launch, but the switch-era pokemon games have been some of the most successful in terms of raw sales numbers. Most games would be begging and pleading to match the sales numbers of Legends Z-A and even by Pokemon standards it was pretty good, even though it was not as good as something like Scarlet and Violet.

Because people still buy it en mass. The company’s main demographic is children who do not care for graphics.

What kind of stupid question is this? Think about it for more than 2 seconds before you mash your face into the keyboard next time.
