I'm talking about a new game but made with old graphics and mechanics similar to Megaman 9 & 10.

I personally think such a thing could sell gangbusters and honestly go on record as one of the greatest Pokemon games ever made, especially in recent years.

So I cannot critique the idea because some fan would like this? I don't see your point here, I'm interested in videogame as art, not to commercial success.

We also already know what fans bring to creator, look at Netflix series...people don't really know what they want.

I read your comment less as critique and more as "fucking fans who like Pokémon" but I have a history of confusing harsh tone for a negative "you can't like this thing, because I think there is too much of it" attitude.

Also, your original comment only says "do you really need another fucking Pokémon game?" It's a statement of you not wanting to see another Pokémon game, but besides making a reach and guessing you think they are producing too many too fast, taking a quantity over quality approach, or that the series has reached its end by now and is being overplayed, it does not provide any actual critique of them. Not even a "the [specific thing in game] is awful" with no more elaboration. So I do not really see critique of ideas, just a statement of dislike.

You're guessing right, that was the critique, a statement can be a way to critique.
