The Pokemon Company Actually Listened...

Pokemon Legends Z-A is the new Pokemon game coming to Nintendo Switch in 2025 and while there hasn't been any news since its announcement trailer on Pokemon Day, new leaks and rumors could be pointing towards the releases of upcoming Pokemon projects and indicating that The Pokemon Company listened with giving GameFreak more time? Get all the details here!

We want quality over quantity, we don't want more Pokemon games, we want good Pokemon games.

Preferrably they shoudn't rush Gen 10 to coincide with the 30th anniversary but this current release schedule seems promising.

[platoniczombie]

Just give me a complete game... no DLC, just a complete game.

[mikethunderbolt]

Fair to say, the fact that refunds were issued for Scarlet and Violet probably forced Nintendo to meet Gamefreak and TPC to get their acts together since Pokemon is such a big first-party title, especially when no Nintendo-based first-party titles were released in other platforms EVER. However, the future seems bright given that their last Direct put them in a position way ahead of both Sony and Xbox.

To be honest, I think the games probably won't be as polished as we think despite a longer timeline 😅😅

[brianpeterson]

I really hope this means they're slowing down. Not only do I still play SV and my older switch Pokemon games, I still play the ones from older consoles. We don't need a constant stream of new Pokemon games, we need the new ones that do come out to be at least as high of quality as the classics.

The fact they're (Supposedly) working on both ZA and Gen 10 at the same time tells me this isn't the good timeline. They're splitting the team again when they shouldn't be. If they put all hands on deck for both then we'll get quality insurance. If they split the team up then we risk one or both games being fucked like last time. I'm hoping the Gen 10 rumor is false for that exact reason, because if isn't then we're almost guaranteed to be screwed.

I will believe them listening after I see the final product, spacing out releases isn’t the only issue Pokemon suffers from.

[scottvergin]

I clicked on this because I thought it was going to be about the Pokémon company giving us a comprehensive timeline for when all the games take place .

[damndanielcruz]

I'm really hoping they just let it cook so it can be as best it truly can be

[Eric-gphi]

I agree the best timeline for Pokémon would be
Pokémon Legends Z-A releasing in November 2025-December 2025
Gen 10 releasing in November 2026- December 2026

Pokemon is the biggest multimedia franchise of the world. If they choose to put more effort and time into it and hire more employees, they can do so immediately. They just need a push and Scarlet Violet was that push. They just couldn't release scarlet and violet that game just wasn't ready yet but they did it anyway. Even though gen 9 sold super well, they can't release another game with this performance and with so many glitches

[blaziken]

Hopefully they listen to the most important parts of this video

[odenmora]

Being a Pokémon fan now a days is so expensive

That’s why the older games are worth so much…

They don’t make them like they used to anymore..

[BrokenSoulConfession]

The title is just...
YES, TPC does listen. They almost always do, actually. Their partners like Niantic, though. They don't.

But people seem to always assume listening means instant action. No, that's not possible. Game development takes years or at least months. Even if they listen to criticism, the follow-up for that will happen on the next game to be developed, which releases at least a year later. People need to be realistic about this.

Why do you think SV never has the Shiny sound/sparkle effect like LGPE or PLA? Because people actually complained it made Shiny hunting "too easy". And why PLZA doesn't have a release date yet? Because people complained SV was rushed when it came out. The response to these complains only came at least months later, never right away.

I understand knu got stuff right on the last few games. But we have to also remember he didnt know about ZA hours before its reveal trailer. So be very very skeptical of his information he also started slipping on infor towards the end of SV as well with the other mythical, the pk hex features and other stuff

[leonardroez]

Please, don't fully trust in Centro Leaks. They "confirmed" Pokemon Star in 2021 and that Switch 2 would be announced in first half 2023 (Then delete the posts) lol. I was in their FB Group and all the mods are kids who block all users that thinks different to them. Oh, and i won't have hope to high. Everybody knows that when they show the first trailer with the note "No final product" we will say "I know graphics are not everything, but...". But hey, if they show something that can shout my mouth, I'm fine with that.

[Trakker]

6:38 fat chance, "taking advantage of the brand new switch 2 capabilities"
They have had 7 years and they haven't even managed to take advantage of the regular Switch's abilities, what they are pumping out look like unoptimised Wii games. i think the best we can hope for is a badly optimised Wii-U game outta them. I'd love to be proven wrong, but the track record is there plain to see lol

[LordStrell]

Tpc retiring Ash was the smartest decision ever. Half the reason for the insane release schedule was because the anime, the tcg and the games had an extremely rigid schedule that could not be disrupted in terms of sequence, timing, merchandising and marketing. It’s an astonishing well oiled machine but with scarlet and violet you could really see the cracks showing from the pressure.

[yeyo]

It's ironic that us Pokemon fans are happy that there are NOT gonna be any games for a while, unlike other fans of other franchises.
Really sells the point that we want quality and not quantity.
