Darvond: And then you have Pokemon Sword and Shield. Which has pop in and fog like a Nintendo 64 game. But shares a console of which Super Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, and even a goshdanged port of the Witcher 3 can be found.
1. The series you nag about... Well, graphics had never been their main attraction, selling point, priority for fans. Even black and white with basic sprites, are perfectly enjoyable and regularly played, to this day.
2. Dexit!!! I mean, National Dex discontinuation. No reason to buy this series, since it cuts off a huge pile of content, from the setting. Lots of fans are attacking Nintendo and actively boycott the game, already (even since before release). Let alone Maga-Evos and Z-moves are ditched (the new system doesn't seem half that interesting and it needs special place or circumstance).
Lay down "The Graphic", dude! Besides, there are excellent fangames, with greater features than main series, with all content amassed, with online functionality, even! One of them, is also going to implement the 8th generation!
