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

It is impossible to know. And maybe you and others wouldnt have stuck(though also impossible to say as you wouldnt have known about a national dex). But many would have as most wouldnt have had a second thought about them being cut. They could have even made more games that would combine a Pokdex or two every so often.... BanjoBoomer posted... Obviously Pokemon appeals to people for other reasons as well, I'm not arguing against that. But the franchise was inspired by bug collecting, that's part if its core DNA. And now that aspect is being neutered. As is the battling/team-building aspect, as we can not use many of our favorite pokemon or mix a lot of our old pokemon into our new teams. Except I dont see it being neutered. At least, at the core. You still have he collection. It doesnt just disappear. Its still exist. And you have them, just as bug collectors have their bugs. For the other aspect, it depends on what the developers want. Not only that, but you dont know where they are going to go next. Maybe the next time, they cut out different Pokmon. And now, you may have your favorites to use again. BanjoBoomer posted... They could just restrict when people can transfer pokemon over, which is what Black and White did. As it stands, there's nothing stopping people from having a team in Sw/Sh that solely consists of old pokemon, whereas everyone who played through Black and White used new pokemon on their team. A restriction would probably be good. Like only in post game or something. Thats because they may want the take the cut slowly. Especially after seeing how people reacted to it. BanjoBoomer posted... There has never been a controversy in Pokemon like this before. Hell, right up until the dexit reveal, everyone was hyped for Sw/Sh. Pokemon has always been behind the times in a lot of ways. But people alway overlooked those flaws because the main focus was on the monster-collecting/raising/training/battling aspect. They had one job, basically, everything else is just window dressing. But then they started cutting the number of monsters with the excuse that they wanted to improve other areas of the game, so now people are being much more critical of other areas of the game. Yeah. There were hyped. But this controversy isnt the only thing they are complaining about. The Pokmon topics on just this board alone prove that. They also complain about the graphics. And the animations (or lack thereof) for the Pokmon. And the story. Which is probably written for children. And not really expected to be of a high caliber, tbh... And if they want to be critical, they can be. But its still the same game. And it still as fun as before. Just not every monster can be in it. And if what Helly said is true, they really did have a lot of work on their hands... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
