>>18628030>what gamefreak mistakes?it's supposed to mean stuff like 'no flareons, no asspull incense breading, no moss rocks, no dead end paths with nothing to do, no dancers blocking the road, more mons receiving access to more HM's, no lv50 E4, etc...'
Things that can generally be agreed to have been boring/needless retcon/etc.
It's supposed to mean that "if the only reason you can think of to do/not to do something in our game is that GF did/didn't do it also, then you should rethink your opinion."
But usually it's just quoted to mean "I didn't like this idea when GF did it so obviously it was a mistake (even though other people claim to have liked the idea when GF did it)" and "GF never did it, so obviously it's not part of the GF style and we shouldn't do it."
We're trying to make a game that emulates the spirit of traditional GF games while changing(improving) in places where the majority sees fit. If someone submits a new move/ability/tile/character idea that GF never used before, it deserves proper discussion as to it's merit for what it is before resorting to calling it a mistake. If we were trying to make a game perfectly in keeping with GF we'd probably have just reskinned Hoenn with HG tiles. We're not trying to make a perfectly GF game, we're trying to make a /vp/ game that fits with the general style/feel of a GF game.
