Pokémon’s Gen 10 Games Are Already Doomed (& History Proves It)

The upcoming Pokémon Gen 10 games haven’t even been revealed yet, but it’s already safe to say that the next generation of the series is going to struggle when it releases. There’s certainly an appeal in hoping for an excellent follow-up to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, especially when expectations for a Switch successor mean that struggles with graphics and performance that have plagued recent titles might be minimized or avoided altogether on more powerful hardware. Realistically, however, the franchise isn’t bound for a sudden dawning of a new golden era in public perception.
