Thread: If Pokemon X and Y were cancelled...

So far, Pokemon X and Y look like they have a lot of things going for them, so they probably aren't going to be cancelled. However, if they were, how much controversy do you think they will spark, and, on a scale of 1 to 10, how disappointed would you be if you heard the announcement?

I feel that if the titles were cancelled, they would make many get upset at Game Freak for canceling two games that show plenty of potential, maybe to the point that folks would write letters to ask Game Freak to continue developing the games. I personally would be disappointed to the point of rating that feeling a 9/10, as these titles look like they are going to bring a bunch of new things to the table, something I am certainly looking forward to.

What do you guys have to say?

Disappointed at first, but that would actually make the possibility of RSE remakes being released increase very much, so I'd look forward to that instead.

The only reason X and Y would be canceled is if GameFreak went under.

So, no, RS Remakes would NOT be likely in that case.

I'd be indifferent myself. The charm of introducing x amount of Pokemon after 3-4 years wears off after a while. Gotta admit, I do like what Gen VI has to offer as far as the games are concerned, though. I'm liking the 3D graphics update and the newer Pokemon, but I feel there is a loss of essence as the simpler engine in prior games has a certain charm to it that has grown on me. As long as the games are compatible with previous generations (IMO, worst thing about Gen III was that), I have no issue whatsoever. :)

Cancellation? Hm...it's an interesting prospect. I would think that one of the only reasons this would happen is if they just couldn't work with what they had. Given the publisher, though, it's unlikely.

I would be a bit disappointed at a cancellation, as I think the most likely scenario that comes afterward is that Pokémon would be no more. However, if it gives Game Freak the chance to try something new, then I'm game for whatever's next! Of course, that is, assuming there is a next if something like this was cancelled.

Oh who am I kidding we all know what this fanbase would say

YES it would be very likely If X Y got cancelled, they'd surely need something else to boost their sales and promote their brand names... and the only thing they'd be able to do is create a remake XDD

Devastated. Why? Because it probably means the end of pokémon. If it wasn't brought about by the end of pokémon itself (i.e. Game Freak deciding to discontinue pokémon and thus X/Y for whatever reason), it will bring that about, because Pokémon is a series whose continued existence especially depends on new content getting churned out. And we don't want that.

Also, I (and, like, everyone else in the fandom) would get extremely pissed because we've been tossed about by the hype cycle for months, only for that hype to be for nothing.

Thankfully, cancellation is very unlikely.

I'd actually be okay if these games were cancelled since I wasn't happy about them from the start. If it did happen, I'd hope they'd make RS remakes instead.

I doubt they'd ever cancel a game they've already put so much focus on, especially a pokemon game. They'd just delay it 10 times like they did with super smash bros. brawl.

Not sure about my reaction, I wouldn't like, but I wouldn't be enraged as well.

One thing is sure: I'd get higher marks at the university.

Cancelling it after all this hype would be a major low blow. They would have to make something absolutely gobsmacking to make up for it. While I don't care for some of the things I've seen (do we really need ANOTHER Eveelution? Fix Flareon, dang it!) I can guarantee that they've got some really wicked stuff yet to be revealed, so stopping it before they've shown the good things would be terrible.

I don't know why people are even suggesting this. I don't even see it as a possibility. Not even for a delay. I will agree with a few others that the only way this will die is if Gamefreak dies.

I would be enraged if they were cancelled, just like I was when Capcom cancelled Mega Man Legends 3.

I would fall into a deep depression because, as mentioned before, the only way X/Y would be cancelled is if GameFreak went bankrupt. Thankfully, that's pretty much impossible, because the company is thriving and having a renaissance right now.
