People saying LGPE is just a spinoff so it's immune to criticism can fuck off, it's very clearly imitating the style of the main games and deserved to be critiqued as such, just saying it's a spinoff does not absolve it from criticism, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon on GBA was a spinoff and had all 300+ Pokemon, even games like Pokemon Conquest and Pokemon Ranger tried getting in Pokemon from different generations rather than forcing us to stick with a single Generation.
LGPE was developed in house with help from Niantic, Pokemon is the highest grossing multi media franchise of all time, TPCI nets billions every single year. There is zero excuse for them to just leave it at 150 with no postgame, breeding or Johto, casualized or not.
