No i haven't lost any respect for Pokemon, and i can't think of any reason why i would so i wanted to ask...What would be the one thing GameFreak/Nintendo could do to Pokemon that would make you lose all your respect for them entirely?
 
Neither have I.

They released a rare Turtwig that you can dance on as an event.

AND MARIO REALLY IS SATAN!
 
I think having been so into Pokemon since Gen 1 it's gonna be hard to stop liking it. I grew up with the games; they're a large part of my childhood (and my college life xD) so I can't really think of anything.

/ I'm lame
 
Cross it with Harvest Moon, or put Harvest Moon-like features in it like dating, marriage and farming.

Gah. Harvest Moon.

A little Farfetch'd, but yeah.
 
I guess if they got rid of Ash in the anime i'd lose respect for that. But not the whole franchise
 
This is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I would honestly lose respect if they made a game where you are evil. To me, it would go against the whole morale behind the games. But like others have said, I would also lose respect if dating elements were added.
 
I've already lost a small amount of respect for the fact that they replaced the slot machines with non–casino-style minigames and got rid of all textual references to gambling... including changing what that one Gambler said to "I'm a rambling, gaming dude." which does not rhyme (and is less of a reference to that song) and makes pretty much no sense, not to mention that in that the verb "game" usually means "play games of chance for money". It literally means gamble unless the guy is trying to say that he plays video games, lol

Finally grace us with a more difficult mode, but make it inaccessible until you complete the game, and it's deleted if you restart your game.

Oh wait.

Blaziken was the first then all of a sudden every starter wants to be fire/fighting.......it's just not unique anymore......
But what would make me lose my respect is if Gamefreak goes overboard with Pokemon. Like adding stuff that doesn't fit them.
 
If they completely revamped the battle system of the main games and it's nowhere near as complex and intricate as the current one.
 
If GF is starting to listen to the complainers, who make the games look controversial in the first place (like they've done to Gen V), whether it's from here or on SPPF.

It was needed to get passed the first few gyms and to resist Stealth Rock in competitive battles, which is why Charizard and Typhlosion are in the low tiers.
 
If they made it for teens and adults. Blood, drugs, and sex doth not a Pokémon game make.
 
I already have.

Not exactly sure when it happened. I think I might have started to lose respect starting with the whole "expand the land/sea" evil plot and it was solidified by the castle hidden underneath the freakin' Pokemon league!

Still love Pokemon but a lot of the new stuff just makes me cringe and sigh in disappointment.

You do realize that Game Freak DOES NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE META-GAME!!! IT'S A FAN MADE SYSTEM!!! they don't take in consideration that Fire/Fighting isn't weak to SR (Neither are Fire/Steel and Fire/Ground) when making a pokemon... and Volcarona is in OU despite being Stealth Rock weak 4x's... hell a good number of OU Pokemon are SR weak... so SR plays no factor... it's been done 3 times aleady and Emboar is a pretty shitty Pokemon..... his stats are all wrong his HP and Attack are useless because of his pathetic 65/65/65 Defenses and Speed...

I don't think anything coul make me lose respect for it unless they change it to much.. or listen to the people who want to make it darker... that's what side-games are for...

If you're talking about the "meta-game", I agree.
But if you're talking about the actual game, I completely disagree. If people are complaning about something then usually it's a sign that there's a problem with it. If you completely ignore what the customer wants then you're left with a game that the customer doesn't want, which is bad for business and it usually ends up being an inferior product. Of course, they shouldn't go ahead and make every change that every customer suggests, but they shouldn't just ignore everyone.
 
if they take the anime and make it the same style and acting as that BW2 trailer ( id lose the respect for the anime, not the whole series)
