>>40853100More happy, yeah, but realistically the cut should've come with some obviously good improvement to make up for it, and the Max forms definitely aren't it.
It doesn't help the franchise is doubling down on one of the things we've been hating about it: making each new thing only last one or two gens.
Imagine if they had given proper megas to some more Pokemon that needed it, or had balanced Z moves so they're not instakill wipe moves, but just another tool to factor into strategies.
We lost 2/3rds of the dex and all the past gimmicks, and I lost 3/4ths of my favorite Pokemon, all for what? A wild area the size of half a city in Daggerfall? Max forms that we're losing in the next gen anyway? A handful of regional forms that will ALSO disappear a couple years from now?
I'd much rather see the new Pokemon and my bros in an almost-HD, barebones game than get more gimmicks shat on my lap.
