>>48617221Because it makes no sense to launch a game, launch an ENTIRELY new one in the same series THEN return to that first game, to drop DLC. And that's ignoring all leakers (or rather the apparent one source to all the leakers this Gen out) have said there will be no DLC and Gen IX next year. They're shitting out Legends at the start of the year, meaning they're not going to reveal DLC before Pokémon day and honestly, when it comes to releasing another $60 title vs $30 DLC, they're going to sell a $60 game. That every new title also pushes the consoles to play them on, that keeps Nintendo happy more than just *DLC* ever could.
