It's finally gotten way out-of-hand, even for me. Gen XI will be the first main series Pokémon games in 30 years I won't be pre-ordering, let alone even buying. First-party Switch games were already way too expensive, rarely ever going on sale, and now we may be moving to an $80 standard. And it seems the main selling point of the Switch 2 in the latest Direct was a bunch of ports. At that price point, there's no reason not to just get a Steam Deck and sail the high seas for first-party titles. At least Valve won't brick my device if I hurt their feelings.

Last gen was a bunch of ports too. New games didn't start popping off until middle of the consoles lifespan.

i dint buy it at the time because it was switch 400+60+ DLC, and nintendo internet+ pokemon perpetual cold storage, and then i heard every game got worst and worst. and it was difficult enough to put homebrew on the 3ds when that was available, because nintendo was constantly updating to break the cracks.

and GEN 6 was already kinda dumbed down , but had enough content to keep going.
