The number is set by the duration of the project. Plus, if you added like 300 or so new monsters, that’d just be too many – we have to think of the balance of battles.”
>we have to think of the balance of battles.”Here's why there's less than 100 Pokemon every gen now. Because Sugimori is too worried about balance so he focuses on making a healthy meta instead. This is everything in Alola is a slow piece of shit and shit BST distribution with a barren movepool unless you are a Tapu.
