>>41510255As somebody that's worked in game development, I sympathize with and understand the reasons they provided for wanting to cut back. It can be hard to balance 80 points of data, let alone 800, and wanting to improve graphical fidelity and animation quality are noble goals.
But they didn't do that. The execution of Dexit is absolutely horrid. The pokemon that were kept were kept with no rhyme, reason, or balance considerations. The animation and graphical quality is almost exclusively reserved for trainers and a precious handful of attacks, and the rest of the game looks WORSE by comparison than it has in previous generations.
On paper Dexit was a good idea. In execution it was a dumb fucking mess.
