>>39429593Every Pokémon has someone who likes them, so by removing a good chunk of the dex people are deprived of their favorites.
Along with that, there was a promise of better models, animations and possibly graphics since the alleged workload was reduced now that there are less Pokémon to worry about. When it was discovered that every model used was more or less exactly the same with just an updated texture, and practically no changes made to animations, people called GF out on their lies.
Now the community is alive and screaming with the sounds of aggravated fans, the two sides at odds on social media are the Loyalists who defend GameFreak under the belief that they deserve some slack/the game looks good in its current state, and the BBND who are tired of GameFreak’s work policy and demand improvements.
