POKEMON GEN 6 ANNOUNCED

[Mutsukki]

I don't get why you assume everyone would love an open-world game Koh. Some people feel very tired about them or kinda lost. It's a diferent game, if you want an open world, go fucking play Skyrim then. Linearity isn't bad as people make it sound like, a lot of games have been really linear and they were great games. I think I talked about this in this exact thread, but Japanese game design is more focused on set goals and western on arbitrary ones.

Also Pokémon has always been very anime and over-the-top, new teams with ridiculous plots give it a really nice charm (and kids love that)
