Pokémon Switch: 8 Rumors & Details You Need To Know
3. Tradition Vs. Innovation Will Be Core To The Story
Let's face it, Game Freak's decades-old franchise isn't known for its varied storytelling. That's the trouble that comes with holding the reigns to a franchise that appeals to such a broad spectrum of age groups, but that's not to say the series hasn't provided some interesting commentary on world affairs in the past. Ruby & Sapphire's spin on climate change, for example, made for an interesting commentary.
Given its universal age appeal, the series' is unlikely to ever contain an outwardly mature narrative, but Pokémon Switch, like its predecessors, will have an overarching message to get across, which, according to the Chinese rumours, deals with a conflict between the themes of tradition and innovation.
Vague as it is, there's no telling how the two opposing ideologies will come to clash, but suffice it to say that the villainous force will inevitably represent one aspect and everyone else the other.
Technologically enhanced 'Mons vs. the purely organic kind, perhaps? If nothing else, it'd certainly open up additional avenues for Pokémon designs. Just please, Game Freak, no more Pokémon inspired by kitchen appliances and foodstuffs. Thanks very much.
