What happened to Nintendo?

As I am replaying through Breath of the Wild at the moment in preparation for the sequel, I am noticing that the Nintendo of just 6 years ago seems a lot different than the Nintendo of today. They have pure fetish fuel characters like lolibaba Purah with her randoseru (complete with recorder), focus on Zelda's shapely ass in some scenes, and even loli pantsu without censorship spats.

Compare that to whatever the fuck the new Pokemon game is supposed to be and the contrast is huge. It's starting to make me worry about how Tears of the Kingdom is going to turn out.

Might be more of a gamefreak thing than overall Nintendo. With the new Pokemon.

But that said yeah I get ye Nintendo designs have fallen from what they were.

Nintendo seems to pivot from a pro fanservice to an anti fanservice stance from time to time. I mean remember that some years ago more or less in the middle of the wii life cycle they labelled themselves as the "family console" with all that may entail. Then they became pro fanservice again by the latter days of the wii u and the start of the switch.

Might be more of a gamefreak thing than overall Nintendo. With the new Pokemon.

That too, also, while nintendo techinally develops all their games. They are in reality developed by different teams and people with different philosophies. So I personally dont think that because pokemon ended up like this, that zelda will be the same

At the end of the day we have to wait and see

It's not just Pokemon though. We have the toning down of designs in Fire Emblem + addition of censorship spats, the removal of gender options in all games that let you pick a character, the still unexplained removal of Duel Princess from the eshop.

So I just finished TotK and I'm happy to report that it is even better than BotW, rather than a disaster like Pokemon S/V. Though the localization is probably a disaster like everything NoA touches so your mileage may vary if you are an EOP.
s/v should never had been released at all in the first place.
