>>40837971It's not the filler mons. I think most people here could get behind cutting 200-300. Stuff like Dunsparce and Stunfisk won't be missed too much, and you can always bring it back for the Ultra versions or DP remakes if people really cared.
The issue is that they seemingly did the exact opposite of what people wanted. Instead of Zubat, we get Woobat, Instead of Swampert, we get a Drampa, instead of Porygon we get Inkay.
The decision for what to cut and what to keep/add is just baffling on so many levels. It's like the took a popularity poll and decided the top 5% and the bottom 30% get in, everything in between is slashed.
Then to top it off, all the new pokemon are objectively terrible. How anyone thinks a penguin with an ice cube for a head is something people want is beyond me.
