    Pokemon never catered to the die hards.

    The money they make is always from new fans. Which is why they went that path for multiple generations. I think this latest release caused a dip in profits, so only now are they like… “Let’s give them a bone.”

      I’m more pointing out how BotW and TotK, while widely praised, seemed to anger a small subset of Zelda fans.

        I’ve never heard such complaints, but it doesn’t surprise me. And I kinda get it, even though I find them ridiculous (with all due respect), some people doesn’t like change or consider some specific elements to be the “soul” of a game and it should never be touched. But as a hard Zelda fan myself, I welcomed the direction BotW took, and I’m already looking forward to see how Zelda reinvents itself again.
