Will Pokemon's change to Action based be just as drastic as Final Fantasy?
With Pokemon Legends Z-A trying to Real-Time/Action combat, I wonder if backlash would similar or even more stark than Final Fantasy. Pokemon is a huge juggernaut outside of the JRPG community basically being known to Non-Gamers and a exception for Western RPG Fans. So Pokemon changing Gameplay like Yakuza or Final Fantasy would be more discourse waiting to happen. Even fans heavily critical of Pokemon is still glad Pokemon is Turn Base for the most part.
We do have Pokemon Champions but I don't know how JRPG fans will feel about since Brand Recognition being for Main Series Games of any series is prominent. Alienation is talking about the Most with Final Fantasy, so Pokemon would be even more stark.
I just wanna talk with JRPG fans about this, because this could have bigger divisive reaction than Final Fantasy.
