>>55146630>third versions: Play the same game as before with small QoL and mechanical changes that would be included in updates/DLC already, but the legendary of the story replaces the original ones, you get a few extra scenes and locations and that's it. Best scenario you skip the original game and play only the third version and don't have to play almost the same exact story twice but you lose the original story about the legendaries that represent the generation.>DLC: You get the small changes you would have gotten with the third version but with two new stories that complement the original experience rather than replace it, get more new locations and new pokemon, you also don't feel like the mascots of the gen are disposable placeholders to be replaced by a third one later.The only reason we didn't get DLCs before gen 8 was because GF is incompetent and years behind the other companies, but it has always been the right choice.
