so why was it deem not worthy to get a dlc like every other brand new pokemon game on switch?
>>58241654BDSP didn't have dlc either.
>>58241654Because it released in January and only had a literal month of relevancy before Scarlet and Violet were announced, therefore focusing on Arceus DLC would create mutual cannibalization when Arceus was already cannibalized by being sandwiched between BDSP and SV in the first place.Meanwhile, Z-A is dropping in October, so it has ample time to worry about DLC throughout Late 2025-Early 2026 before all marketing gears need to shift towards marketing Gen 10 starting Summer of 2026.
>>58241713>a remake is a brand new gameMoron.
>>58241654It was a tech demo like X/Y used to be. A first dabble into a new concept that turned out quite shit and not worth expanding on
>>58241749So what new Pokemon or forms did the Daybreak update add?
>>58241756No new pokemon or returning ones. Just made it easier to get some that are already in.
>>58241777So a nothingburger that proves that GameFreak stopped caring about Arceus as soon as it released and only a skeleton crew remained? Cool, thanks for confirming.
>>58241654PLA was just a soulful side project they let Iwao do because they outsourced BDSPPLZA clearly has much more focus from TPCi, which is why it's not been anywhere near as soul
>>58241713that’s a remake anon, not a brand new game
>>58241790Oh so megas are new pokemon now? Gotcha
>>58241749free conten is not what a dlc is
>>58241818Mega retard statement.
>>58241812Yes, they literally are. GameFreak themselves consider Megas to be new Pokemon.>b-but what's its Pokedex numb-You don't have more authority over Pokemon than the people who make the games. GameFreak considers forms to be new Pokemon, which is how Masuda came to the conclusion that Pokemon already had over 1000 Pokemon in SWSH, hence Dexit.
>>58241818>content you have to download is not what downloadable content iswut?
>>58241818You're literally downloading an update to receive new content.DLC doesn't mean "downloaded content I have to pay for" like you think it does, dipshit.
>>58241654Despite it being a Pokemon game that was made by GameFreak, it was a not yet proven concept.
>>58241818AHAHAHAH zoomers are THIS retarded
>>58241797>it’s empty and devoid of content so it’s le soultypical platard
>>58241654Its DLC was the best on a price standpoint.
>>58241808They could have sold the Platinum battle frontier to paypigs.
>>58241834Nta but no they don'tIt's a form, all their official sources say as such. When it's a new species they say new pokemon.
>>58241654Because they release the base game in complete form instead of charging $90 for the game and then making you buy day one DLC immediately afterwards. Fuck Nintendo and Gamefreak. Palworld 4 LYFE
>>58241654This ugly disgusting dogshit deserves to stay forgotten.
>>58242254That would've required to program and test multiple battle facilities with different mechanics each Better just generate some AI Mega evolutions and sell them for 30 dollars
>>58241818fucking retard lmaothats literally what DLC stands forI think you meant PAID DLC
>>58242431That's not what Masuda told Famitsu.https://www.famitsu.com/news/201906/13177936.html
>>58242496???He literally stipulates "including form changes" because he's talking about making the models and animations. All their official material says "new forms" or the like and "new Pokemon" when referring to eitherSuch a strange cope
>>58242881Which means he counts forms as new Pokemon, hence the "over 1000 Pokemon as of Sword and Shield" statement.
>>58241654It wasn't god awful enough to need a dlc
