Topic	I've genuinely never seen this much bad PR for a game before (Pokemon)
BanjoBoomer 11/16/19 2:45:27 AM #141:	LinkPizza posted... Probably not. The only reason this is a big deal now is because its change. 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... The universal collectability of monsters is the biggest thing that set Pokemon apart from the competition. If they had cut a bunch of Gen 1 Pokemon in Gen 2, I seriously doubt as many people would have stuck with the series. LinkPizza posted... I collect stuff. But Pokmon isnt one of them. I doubt that all collectors would be able to relate because this isnt like a physical collection. People who collect things physically may think more like me... A digital collection is very different... As for why I commented on it, thats because I was responding to you. I believe you responded to me first, though... Well it doesn't sound like you can relate to the collector mindset that Pokemon is made to appeal to. The whole point is that it's supposed to feel like a real, physical collection of monsters. What do you collect? LinkPizza posted... Maybe Im reading that wrong or something. You do find the new ones in the wild. What did Black and white do that was different? I didnt play that one much. My brother was into those a lot. This comment makes it sound like you aren't very invested in or informed about the ongoing Pokemon franchise, which explains why you can't understand the problem people have with dexit. Black and White exclusively featured new pokemon in the main game, and only featured new pokemon the postgame. If Gamefreak wanted everyone to try out new pokemon, they would simply do this again. LinkPizza posted... Plus, no matter what, people will be mad. This entire controversy would go away if Gamefreak would simply announce that they heard fans and will add all pokemon back in a future patch. This is not a situation where "there's no way to make people happy". adjl posted... Spoilers: The collection was always worthless. The value of that collection comes purely from the enjoyment of collecting it, which exists regardless of whether or not you can access it with the latest game. Wrong. For me the value comes from the enjoyment of collecting it, having access to it, and being able to use it for battling, trading, breeding, and whatever other things are available to do with pokemon in a given game. Seriously, who are you to tell other people how they get enjoyment from collecting pokemon? <cite>BanjoBoomer posted [p:930208763] in I've g...
