>>44009560I didn't phrase that properly, but it also sounds more scathing if you take it out of context, especially since i'm completely aware Lucario is also one of the most iconic pokemon ever. I was addresing the dexcuts. 2000 char limit didn't let me explain exactly what was wrong with them, but the main gist of the issues is that if you were gonna focus on trimming down the roster to give more focus to a smaller group (which in itself is a good idea) then you also have to SHOW that you care. This is what i meant by "they fuck up everything they do".
They released an upscaled 3DS game with very few improvements despite it being their first foray into a moderately capable console, so they didn't give the game the care needed to justify such cuts. And not only that, their promoted mix was too scattershot, so it's logical for them to return to their usual merch suspects. Sorry if i didn't make myself clear.
