>Says who?The name of the franchise.
>There wouldn't be a game if it weren't for the other content either.Look at all the Pokemon games. There is no single piece of content common to all of them. Except Pokemon. That's the important part of the franchise. The rest is important, yes, but when you're willing to sacrifice the most important bit of content, you've already sacrificed everything else.
>No. There is no content if the game is nothing but 1 island with 1 patch of grass that has all the Pokemon in it. Why bother catching Pokemon if there's nothing to do with them?Some post-game content and even whole Pokemon games are pretty much just that...
I agree with the rest you said.
