As i said before, Game Freak has found out more and more each release they can don't have to try as hard to need to address fans concerns much because the games always sell.
Now we once again see even with this panned mainline game that people will still buy it. In fact, i wouldn't be surprised the videos, discussion, and clips about it's issues raise more interest in the game and it becomes one of the best selling in the franchise.
It's possible maybe, for the fans of this series there's a silver lining. In that after this game if Game Freak does a bad job with the next main game it might turn "SOME" of the casual players off, but let's not kid ourselves Game Freak knows what they are doing and knows what they can get away with.
