>>39004522GAME BALANCE
Most of the pseudo-legendaries are confirmed to be ingame. How is deleting, I don't know, Sunflora for instance, going to improve game balance? We've already seen roaming Tyranitar and Galvantula. Is Masuda implying these are on the same scale of usefulness ingame?
To add to that, they've confirmed all Pokemon from Let's Go are included in Sword and Shield, including Alolan Forms. So, are those just naturally balanced? Is there something about the original 151 that makes them better in battle?
Of course not. There's overpowered and underpowered Pokemon in Gen 1 too. They just know they can't delete any of the original 151 anyway.
