Topic	I've genuinely never seen this much bad PR for a game before (Pokemon)

And people cant seem to handle that. If the game had made it so people could either never get pokemon from other games, or go back only one generation from the beginning, then it would have been normal. The series would probably be just like it is today except nobody would care about the national dex as it wouldnt be a real thing. There would probably be many fan made games with all of them. But the real games would be different. Except maybe a battle type game like Pokmon stadium and such... BanjoBoomer posted... But you're missing the point. People usually leave old Pokemon games behind when they move over to the new games. That means the old pokemon get left behind if they can't be transferred. So the collection is basically worthless. The thing about Pokemon is that it's not a real collection--it's digital, but the fact that you can trade and transfer your pokemon makes them feel real, like you are moving around physical creatures. That was always a huge part of the appeal. And now it feels like your physical creatures are trapped in an old game you aren't going to play anymore, or else trapped in Home where they may never escape. If they leave the old games, thats on them. The collection is worth as much as they want it to be worth. If they dont want it to get dusty, then they could play it every once in a while. My brother use to go back to his old games all the time. Hes erase and start over all the time... And you can always play it. And the Pokmon mean that much to you, play the old games with them. You can always do that. BanjoBoomer posted... That's why some people would transfer, while others would start collecting them all for the first time. It's like if you started collecting Transformers right now: you could go buy newer ones at the store or from online retailers, but older ones you would need to buy from other collectors who have been collecting much longer than you have. Pokemon was set up to emulate this collector environment. And now Gamefreak's cutting huge ass corners just to see how much they can get away with. But I do agree that people will keep buying the games. Nothing will change. But I'm not going to stop criticizing Gamefreak just because of that. They could be doing that. Or maybe want people to play with the newer ones more. Or maybe they just dont want this to go on to the point where they are putting thousands of Pokmon into every game from here on out. And you dont have to stop criticizing. Though, it probably wont change much... Mainly because not everyone cares about the national dex. And the developers are gonna do what they want... Especially if they are still going to get money for it... Also, why did you delete and change my name? --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
