Pokemon Company Contemplating Changes to Release Schedule After Backlash
The Pokemon Company is reportedly reconsidering its release schedule in response to fan dissatisfaction. The franchise, known for its lovable creatures and addictive gameplay, has been churning out games at an unprecedented pace. However, recent releases have faced criticism, leading to concerns about the quality of the games. Now, it seems the publisher is ready to listen to its fans and make some much-needed adjustments.
In a recent interview with ComicBook, The Pokemon Company’s COO, Takato Utsunomiya, discussed the company’s release strategy. He revealed that there have been internal discussions about maintaining a steady release schedule while ensuring the games meet the expected level of quality. While Utsunomiya did not confirm any specific changes, it’s clear that the company is taking the feedback to heart.
It’s no secret that recent Pokemon games, such as Pokemon Sword and Shield and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, have received backlash from fans. The accelerated release schedule seems to have taken a toll on their overall quality, with players experiencing performance issues, frame rate problems, and lackluster online experiences. These setbacks have undoubtedly fueled the demand for change.
A deviation from Pokemon’s typical release cycle would be a welcome development for fans who have been longing for better games. Over the past few years, the franchise has seen the launch of two new generations, as well as major spin-offs like Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and the highly anticipated Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Additionally, collaborations with other developers, such as Pokemon Unite and Pokemon Sleep, have expanded the Pokemon universe even further.
While the Pokemon Company has not officially confirmed any alterations to its release schedule, the upcoming months already look packed with exciting releases. The first half of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, aptly named “The Teal Mask,” is set to launch next month, with “The Indigo Disk” scheduled for next year. Rumors are also swirling about potential Pokemon Black and White remakes on the horizon. A revised release schedule could benefit both the developers and the devoted fans.

It’s clear that the Pokemon Company wants to address the concerns of its community and deliver high-quality games that live up to the franchise’s legacy. By taking a step back and reevaluating its release schedule, the company is showing its commitment to providing an exceptional gaming experience for Pokemon enthusiasts everywhere.
