>cut available pokemon because... i dont know idle animations are hard>have the audacity to still feature version exclusive pokemon while adopting paid DLC there is no good reason why there are 2 versions of the same mainline game with exclusive pokemon and the slightest changes (aka character swaps) to the story when theyve already done away with the 3rd entries. there is no reason why this RPG series can not be an RPG and have different routes that introduce different characters and different pokemon based on those choices. this
>>58253237How does it matter if they got rid of 3rd versions what difference does it make
>>58253237Pokemon is THE dual release franchise, what do you expect?
Scatvomit is trash and gen10 won't be any better
Highest grossing media franchise of all time btw
>>58253237And yet SV are the second best selling games in the series with SwSh being the third.Unfortunately this business model makes them bank and you'll buy it anyway.
By defending the current state of Pokemon you are outing yourself as a Nintencuck.
>>58255345At this point I feel like it's less defending and more acceptance/cope.We're no longer in the Gen 4/Gen 5 era where the diehards were the ones supporting this series. Ever since Go dropped and after SwSh managed to get that massive Covid sales boost, this series has steadily been propped up by casuals who'll accept anything that GF throws at them and people who'll complain and complain but will still be there on release day.It feels so fucking hopeless. If you cave you're supporting GF and Nintendo at their most greedy and anti-consumer. If you don't you're in a vocal minority who can take solace knowing they're not buying this crap but the fires of PokeTism still burn regardless. You can't fucking win. I wish I hyperfixated on another series as a kid instead.
>>58253237>when theyve already done away with the 3rd entries.You know third entries didn't have all the Pokemon either, right? Good luck catching Stunky and Glameow in Platinum.
>>58255405You'd still be seething about Pokemon regardless if another monster collector caught your eye, unfortunately.Digifags forever seethe about Pokemon, SMTfags forever seethe about Pokemon being more popular hence why Persona became the new main series of Megami Tensei, Yugiohfags forever seethe about Pokemon being the more popular one, and all the other franchises are dead as fuck because they aren't Pokemon.
