Nah pokemon wont stop anytime soon.I chalk it up to the higher visibility of differing opinions due to the rise of social media and YouTube. Back when the original Diamond and Pearl came out you mostly had forums like Serebii which, for the most part, didn’t quite have the widespread reach of something like YouTube and Twitter does today.
That’s not to say that DP didn’t have it’s detractors or people expressing negative opinions back in the day - they just weren’t quite as visible.
Not to say those with doubt or less than positive opinions regarding these games (or recent games in general) are wrong - far from it. If you dislike a game or the direction a series is going in that’s absolutely a valid opinion. I just don’t necessarily think it’s the “end of the franchise”. As others have said more concisely, people have been saying that particular mantra for years now.
I just think that ppl expect Gamefreak to make better games due the Switch being a better console and other games look visualy better.
I just think things like the pokedex controversy, pokemon Home being expensive and other controversies being negative for the image of pokemon during the past years .
And I think ppl expect more during the consoles and graphics constantly evolving. Ppl compare games who look Visually better (which I can understand). I just think pokemon hasnt found its identity in the 3D-games.
