>>47133524I still haven't received a proper, legitimate reason from Game Freak as to why the dex cut was needed. All they ever say just amounts to "uhhh we did it because we had to lol". The truth of the matter is that Masuda is DEATHLY afraid of the number 1000, as shown by all the diversionary tactics like Megas and Regional formes, its a number that represents the amount of hot shit his studio is going to find themselves in when they have to contend with such a workload, a workload mind you that is several magnitudes more than they can handle, they can't even properly take care of 500 Pokemon so what makes 1000 any different? Yet they keep being coy about the truth of the matter with completely inane and random excuses like "we do it to increase quality of animations" or some bullshit.
