>>47939255This argument doesn't make sense, only an autistic minority play competitive Pokemon at all and SWSH was still full of methods to get people into comp as quickly as possible. GF knows people like comp, but they're cutting corners because its easier and people like you will buy anyway.
But what I don't get is that there's not gonna be an actual ranked for BDSP....so what exactly are you going to be doing when you're done? Shills defended the lack of BF or other postgame facilities because "just play online", but if this game has a gimped online system, then how do you defend less single player content than Platinum?
And ignoring all that, the battle Frontier wasn't the only thing cut from BDSP. Platinum added extra areas to explore and more story for postgame too, extra features like the villa and gym leaders at the Survival Area, does that suddenly not matter either?
