I do miss the old formula of lore and exploration in the old games. It was very much show don’t tell and sparked your imagination now the games are heavily reliant on cut scenes and dumb mini games for gyms. We may just be the bygone era now and this is what kids want now a days
Idea for The Pokémon Company:
I think there is a MASSIVE opportunity to capitalize on the decades of nostalgic equity that fans have with the franchise
The same frenzy that originally propelled Pokémon into mainstream culture lives within millions of adults that yearn for the feeling the original games provided
Every 2-3 years I find myself picking up a Gameboy and running back Pokémon Red/Blue/Crystal/Gold on the original cartridges, beating the Elite Four with just as much joy I had as a child. It’s a cycle that’s been happening for the last 15 years of my life. Admittedly, however, I don’t have as much of a connection with the newer Pokémon — although Annihilape and Baxcalibur have my heart lol
SO, I think the Pokémon company should create a remastered game inspired by the OGs that mirrors the original pixel graphics, combines the best generations of Pokémon, and introduces adaptive NPCs that evolve alongside the player.
Old school vibes powered by modern technology that gives players the ability to connect to the internet for easier trading/battling, downloadable content, etc.
This will do three things
1.) Give older fans a chance to relive their childhood thus awakening a massive, dormant demographic
2.) Give newer, younger fans a taste of what originally made the franchise so special
3.) Bridge the gap for older fans who don’t connect with newer Pokémon in a way that’s familiar to them
If we believe that video game cycles are like a pendulum, the near-future of gaming may birth a desire for more simplified, block-based aesthetics. We already see it happening with games like Minecraft & Roblox. As technology continues to advance at an alarmingly rapid pace, I personally believe the future will lean towards “retro”
With over 30 million copies of Pokemon Red & Blue sold in the 1990s, Pokemon can provide an experience for die-hard fans of all ages in a way no other company can.

This morning just before 7am local time, an individual fired multiple rounds at a Dallas, Texas ICE facility, killing one, wounding several others, before taking his own life. FBI, DHS, ATF are on the ground with Dallas PD and state authorities.
While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an idealogical motive behind this attack (see photo below). One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase “ANTI ICE.” More updates will be forthcoming.
These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off. We are only miles from Prarieland, Texas where just two months ago an individual ambushed a separate ICE facility targeting their officers. It has to end and the FBI and our partners will lead these investigative efforts to see to it that those who target our law enforcement are pursued and brought to the fullest extent of justice.
Thankfully, no law enforcement personnel were injured. Please pray for the injured and deceased.

And US Senator John Kennedy is a Vanderbilt and Oxford graduate and wants you to think he from a trailer park. Never heard anyone question his authenticity. I wonder why…
Jasmine Crockett wants you to think she's from the hood - that she grew up on the streets. The exact opposite is true. She attended an exclusive day school where tuition is nearly $35,000 per year. She also attended Rhodes College, a private school where tuition is nearly $55,000 per year. She's cosplaying a gangsta.
Kamala Harris ran a right-wing, pro-war, pro-Israel campaign alongside neoconservatives like Liz Cheney, and lost by a huge margin, including in Michigan.
Palestinian-American Rashida Tlaib ran a left-wing, anti-war, anti-genocide campaign, and won by a huge margin in Michigan.
