Something I've noticed for sometime. Nintendo puts too much focus on Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, and Fire Emblem. I understand these series are popular and sell practically like hotcakes, but I wish they'd put more attention on their other games that have a fanbase but are overlooked or completely ignored. F-Zero has many fans, but because it's a racing genre, I don't think it would sell as well. Meanwhile, Mario Kart will, because it's Mario. Star Fox Zero came out a few years ago, but I don't think it did well. Metroid Prime 4 was announced years ago, but we haven't heard much about it, and sadly, this series doesn't do well in the east like it does in the west. Metroid: Samus Returns came out on the 3DS, but I don't think it sold as well as it could have because of bad marketing. I don't know the real reason. I can see that series stopping if Metroid Prime 4 doesn't sell well. Kid Icarus was brought back by Sakurai, but he doesn't have plans of making another one, so that series probably won't see the light of day for a long time or ever.

Alright I came up with one; Burger King kinda sucks imo

Eh, I prefer their burgers over McDonald’s; McDonald’s burgers taste like salt and sadness (my hot take). Everything else that McDonald’s makes is better than Burger King tho (except for coke remix but better restaurants have that too so d: )

At least some of them (like Drednaw and Corviknight) look more like Pokémon than anything else. But it’s true that the others (even the starter families and especially the Skwovet family), don’t feel like Pokémon. Heck, there are several fan Pokémon that feel more like Pokémon than a good deal of Pokémon introduced in X/Y or later.
Creativity or not, they will have to get to a point where no new species are created. I’m hoping that they will eventually break the 1,000 barrier since they’re so close, but I still think they should come to an end.
I’m not much of a fan for Burger King either. Typically, common fast food chains are no better than fast food chains you can only find in certain areas. The closest fast food restaurant to where I live is Whataburger, which is better than both McDonald’s and Burger King.
I actually really don’t get the hype about pokemon, even the earlier seasons. I like digimon better (the first couple of seasons)
also, this may anger a lot of people but I do really like pineapples on my pizza lol Hawaii pizza is one of my favorites

Haven’t tried true Hawaiian pizza but I’ve had pizza with bbq sauce in place of pizza sauce, pineapple and bacon and it’s delicious
I got some burger king to try it and nope, not my cup of tea
At least their icecream machine wasn't broken

People kept comparing Pokémon to Digimon. This comparison sounds more like SpongeBob vs Avatar than Fairly Oddparents vs Jimmy Neutron. Digimon isn’t a Nintendo franchise. Pokémon is. I don’t even see Digimon anywhere in stores, but I see Pokémon almost everywhere. Not trying to tell you to stop comparing, but I want to know why they’re still being compared.

I think it’s because they’re both games that involve collecting monsters that came out around the same time. I’m not as well versed with digimon as I am with Pokémon but I think that’s the main reason. Otherwise from what little I do know about digimon they’re vastly different series.
I just feel like peeps shouldn’t say “mon” franchises are just Pokémon clones, nor should new developers try to solely ape Pokémon in their mons franchise. Take Temtem for example. It’s very obvious that it’s trying to be Pokémon but cooler. I also think that right now it’s not all that interesting, and some of the steps to try to be like the earlier generations of Pokémon actually are for the worse (I don’t like how the rival HAS to be cooler than you in literally every way).

yeah but l seen them irl and they really aren't black black but they are darker. but still ac could have them darkerI wish they looked blacker tbh...
Then again we can't risk opening a portal to the shadow realm
i’m a 90s kid and my exposure to both franchise were strictly limited to the cartoons airing on TV. Both are childhood nostalgias for me, and like Your Local Wild Child said, the two came out around the same time, the story is similar in the sense that both revolves around a group of kids working with their cute monster friends to beat the evil forces. The “mons” all have the ability to evolve into more powerful monsters which serves key role in moving the storyline forward.At least this is why I compare the two all the time. That said, I didn’t know Pokemon is part of Nintendo brands until much much later. And there’s no question Nintendo is 1000 times more successful at commercializing their franchise than Bandai, which I think is the owner of the digimon franchise. However, me as a kid can’t tell who’s owning what, so that distinction wasn’t really seeded in my mind growing up, which is why I still compare them with each other all the time

I feel like charizard being overrated is not unpopular at all. I think even those who like charizard are getting annoyed by the overexposure GF is giving it.
It’s the only starter I actively dislike, btw. I’m REALLY not a fan of being force-fed “charizard be the coolest” stuff all the time. Its preevolutions and its sibling starters are fine, though.

Charmander is my favorite starter, but I have to agree. If he was just popular among the fans it'd be fine, but nintendo/gamefreak KNOW he sells and it gets ridiculous. It ways actually funny how forced he was in sw/sh

Even Incineroar is better than Charizard. Despite over-exposure, I still think the Kanto starters is one of the best set of starters. The only reason why I don’t think they’re the best is because of the Alola starters. That’s the real best starter set.
Additionally, I think Charizard had more exposure than over half the main cast of Star Wars.

yikes!
burger king is the worse fast food joint, especially since they got rid of their onion rings.

THEY GOT RID OF THEIR ONION RINGS?!?!? That was one of the few things that they had a leg up on with McDonald’s...big sad.
There’s better burger chains where I live, anyways.
