Should Pokemon shift to their NDS games

Eg- Pokemon HGSS or BW and BW2

Yes, they are better😉

I have to say the ds and 3ds era is probably the peak of Pokemon and gave us some of the best Pokemon games both mainline and spinoff and to me the newer games on the switch feel weak sword and shield were kind of on the bland side and scarlet and violet felt more like games with pokemon in them than actual pokemon games since they removed so many features

What about the Game Boy games?

The DS era was definitely the peak of the franchise in terms of quality, but sadly not in terms of sales. If anything I fear they learned that they should avoid that era.

I would like to see a return to the attitudes that produced those games. The desire to provide ever more content and features in a game that gave us HGSS. The desire to move in new, interesting directions that game us BW.

And I think there is still a lot of potential for 2D games, even though most gamers, particularly younger fans, would baulk at the concept because "2D = old = bad".

Despite the complaints online, the Switch games are some of the best selling games in the franchise. So the powers that be will look at it and say, "whatever these games did, this is correct. More of this."

At least it looks like we won't get another BDSP.
