>>57016586Nah man, you're fucking ludo. There's no getting around the initial dexit butthurt, true, but every other pokefan would've coped it away or be too busy creaming buckets to the first Open World Pokemon Game. You see how many impressionable little drones jump up and down hailing Scarlet and Violet as the best one or "could've been the best without the bugs"? If Gamefreak came up with this as their first title the de-facto excuse would be
>it's the first game on the console and it changed the formula, of course it'd be rough around the edges and not have every pokemon!Not to mention that Tera is a much better gimmick than Dynabrapping. If we could view alternate universes, I'd bet my left nut that a gen 8 Scarlet and Violet would've sold even more gangbusters than the one we have here.
Now, if in this hypothetical timeline, SWSH was gen 9, flaws and all, then oh man. Hoo boy, hahahahahahaha.
