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.

Well, personally, this time, I will keep playing the old pokemon games since that's where they will forever be trapped. The series ends for me with Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

But that doesn't change the fact that if I did want to start playing Sw/Sh, I wouldn't be able to access a full collection of every pokemon. I want to have a full collection available to me at all times, I want to be able to use anything I want from my collection for battles and trading and contests and whatever other things I can do with them.

And you're still skipping over the fact that all those pokemon would be available to everyone through trading, it's not JUST for people who want to transfer over their old collections.

I really just don't think you are able to relate to the collector mindset at all, so I'm not sure why you feel the need to even comment on it.

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...

If they want people to play with the newer ones more, they could just...have the newer ones be the ones you actually encounter in the wild. You know, like in Black and White. That was the best system. Whereas Sw/Sh cuts a ton of old pokemon and yet still has old pokemon all over the place in the main game. The worst of both worlds.

And if the issue is that Gamefreak thinks there will be too many Pokemon in the future...then they should have waited until the future, when there are actually too many pokemon. And at that point they should completely reboot and overhaul the franchise, rather than a half assed incremental upgrade.

Also, why did you delete and change my name?

It's because Gamefaqs has a stupid editing and quoting set-up. I think it was designed by monkeys or something.
