    Pokémon hasn’t pushed the envelope at all. I think this game really shows what you can do with battle pets in an open world and Nintendo should take notes. Not necessarily breaking their format or making a survival crafter, but there’s a lot of potential they ignore.

      Pokémon hasn’t tried anything new in decades because they don’t need to, Nintendo rakes in money from fans buying the same shit every year regardless so why out extra cost in to the product

        from fans buying the same shit every year regardless

        Probably the same fans are sending the death threats

      not necessarily breaking their format

      To some degree I’d honestly welcome that. Even if it’s not going to be some Breath of the Wild quality spin-off, I just want more creativity.

        Which is funny cause the same studio already made a breath of the wild type game. Its called Craftopia.

                That’s good to hear. I own it but wanted till it was a little more feature complete to play.

              Last steam patch was January 22, 2024, they have been pushing patches at least monthly, they dropped a major content patch in June 2023.
