>>36962737And here is what I think is the most interesting discussion to be had there- many would not object to the notion that Pokemon could stand to be pruned, at the very least in deliberate contexts like Let's Go. I think there is something to it in the abstract. Let's Go just isn't the way any of us would want it done.

Let's Go kind of exposes Gen 1 the way some might say ORAS did Hoenn. But NONE of that means we have to like the way Game Freak did it- sound concept, execution up for debate.
