You have no information. You’re pulling shit out of your ass.
Yeah, Arceus just released. That's why I'm concerned. Game Freak is not a large studio and has a history of forcing unreasonable workloads on themselves.

We will be free of another cycle instead: Switch will be the first system with 3 generations if Furukawa was serious about his "only half of its lifetime" comment.
This is honestly where I'm at. I think this game entered production before Pokemon Legends Arceus.

new characters remind me of Detective Pikachu
Game Freak literally just released a game and now they're squeezing out another one later this year. And that's after Sword and Shield had a sloppy, rushed second half.
Given the realities of Japanese work life, I would be surprised if most game studios didn't crunch. But that's a bigger problem outside of just video games.
If they're sticking with a 3 year cycle for the next gen then we're getting gen 10 on the current Switch for sure. Could perhaps be cross-gen, but don't know if GF would do that.
Game looks way better than Legends, on top of having big cities and actually being fully open world this time:
I would be amazed if Pokemon made a game based on problematic countries like Brazil or China, even Australia with its deeply racist history.
You don’t know shit. You’re “reasoning” is based on one speculative assumption after another.
We literally just got a game based in the UK.
Yes because thats the same thing in any way.
holy shit this is not a thing
Spain has racism in its history as well, I mean almost all countries do.
Yes, but I am talking as they are now.
Following this up with an idea for the evil team, they could make it a reference to Spanish inquisitors.
Implying the UK isn't racist right now LMFAO
Pokemon Company's marketing strategies for the past half decade have been an overcorrection to how they handled Sun and Moon. People complained about no gameplay for the reveal, now they always show extremely WIP gameplay at the reveal even though people end up bashing it like it is a final product. People complained about everything being revealed before Sun and Moon came out, so they went the other way and arguably keep too much too close to the chest.
I mean, we are pretty much describing almost all nations regarding problematic histories, and ongoing still. Pokémon seems to base - at least from what I can tell - from the good parts of nations and not the iffy pasts. My heritage is Spain, and there’s so much I love about it, but I am fully aware of parts of their past.
Yes, because other countries don't also have deeply racist histories. Why single out Australia here? Also wtf is Brazil doing here they're literally a normal country with some iffy environmental and political choices (which can be said about half the countries on the planet).
Very normal behavior to make a stink about Brazil being "problematic" while upholding the United fucking Kingdom
We literally had games based on France, UK and now Spain/Portugal. We're already past problematic countries with deeply racist histories.
To be fair that was a decade ago, Alola had a lot more diversity and none of it was problematic
As much as I love Monolith we've got to stop doing this whole song and dance every time Nintendo or an affiliate puts out an open-ish game
Pokemon Black and White
Ranking "good" and "bad" countries is chauvinistic behavior and should never be seriously engaged in to begin with, but the gall to pretend the UK is somehow not racist now is just laughable. Political understanding of a Dunsparce.
Oh I know, just pointing out that this whole argument is in incredibly bad faith.
I fully expect ~70 or perhaps even less. Don't think even mid gen Pokemon will be enough. We'll get #1000 in Gen X.
This ain't it. The UK is horrifically racist. Why do you think Brexit happened?
The United States is less problematic/racist than Australia?
