Afternoon all,
Long time lurker, long time fan - grew up with the games from the original European release of Red & Blue, and played/owned every mainline game to date.
I’ve spent some years putting together some material, a lot from the internet, but also buying up paraphernalia over the years, and putting together sources, citations, and more, towards something of a history book of Pokemon to date. I’ve been most interested in the uncovered betas from the early years, including those found on the Helix chamber website. https://helixchamber.com/2019/02/16/what-dreams-may-come/
The question is, is there really a market for a thoughtful, business and video game design led historical piece on the video games? Am I putting too much time and effort into this as a side writing project when I should be focusing on other things (!)
What existing historical video game books or literature is out there that I should be reading to get a better idea of the market?
