>>40785711Honestly the lower Dex count doesnt necessarily mean less content. Theres just less Pokemon. You couldnt catch every single Pokemon in the National Dex of USUM in the wild right? Did anyone seriously play with all 800+ in Amie? No. In fact, you probably didnt use more than a quarter of them in battle and Im saying that across the board. Nobody does. So having to allot space for all 800+ is a waste of storage space right? Apparently this game is 10 gigs in size and only has 400 Pokemon. Pokemon really isnt about the sheer amount of Pokemon to me but what I can do with them. The games always have a bunch of content besides simply running around and battling or expanding on the battle system and providing new challenges and such. That's what I play Pokemon for. Cool monsters and shit to do. Imagine how much of the in-game content theyd have to axe to include 1000 Pokemon, their 3d models, moves animations, datacharts for all 1000 and the work it entails to ensure they all work. All 1000+. So fuck it. 400 is more than RS had to offer in their Dex and theyre some of my favorite games in the series
Which ALSO werent backwards compatible with Gold and Silver. They sold for like, 30 back when they released? And Sword and Shield are phenomenally better graphically, possibly can have far better content and be packed with stuff to do, and offer more Pokemon that are more complex and interesting than the ones released in RS as well as a new mechanic in Dynamax. USUM put me to fucking sleep and from what Ive seen so far SS isn't. Itll be new and interesting probably cool as hell and a lot of fun even without the old Pokemon. Ill miss my Breloom I guess but theres 100 new mons to get used to and enjoy. So Im gonna buy that shit. The guys seething about how their favorite Pokemon arent in the game are stuck in the past and missing out imo
