>But we don't want to alienate everyone completely, so let's make a third of them obvious parallels to the Kanto Pokemon.
>Huh. People still just have a hard-on for older Pokemon.
>Well, in the next game, how about we give a bunch of old Pokemon a new evolution
>OH SHIT. Everyone fucking loves this. Let's put even more in the Ruby/Sapphire remake
>Okay, let's synergize these two things. How about instead of making new Pokemon to emulate older Pokemon in the next game, we just put old Pokemon in the game and give them new designs and types?
>Those were the ones everyone actually liked? Let's keep it up, then. But next game, we'll bring back the extra evolution thing, too.
