>>40971299Pokemon really has always been this way with Game Freak at the helm, it took them doing something stupid like cutting the pokedex in half to make people wake up.
I'm buying it because I like Pokemon, I'm not really concerned with the cuts. I've played plenty of games where my favorites weren't in and had to deal with it until buying another one. I also don't understand why people are poring over the graphics of a Nintendo game in the first place, if I wanted that I'd just buy something on my PC. Game Freak CAN do better, but if you've been invested in this series for 20+ years I really don't see a reason for all the complaints when you already know that they always do the bare minimum.
