In a different timeline, things would be better.
Remember the old Stars rumors?
>third Sun / Moon game
>Switch release, finally going to put good use to those higher-rez-than-needed 3D models
>mostly just a remake, but finally on console
>dragon-type Necrozma, no longer just a severed head with limbs
We would have been so mad...
>remake for the first console game
>Sun/Moon was a hard love/hate line for fans
>first 'third game' since B2W2, even if that was actual sequels
>huge complaints about buying Switch & $60 version of $40 game
But... instead we got shafted so much harder in our timeline.
>Let's Go as first console 'game', still a remake
>Barely a test of the Switch, much more of a money grab, Viridian Forest + lure = 4fps, no wild battles, broken new system of stats, only Gen 1 + Alola formes, we know the rest
>First true console game will not have all the Pokemon, sets hard precedent to NEVER AGAIN have them all.
>allows GF to keep the yearly schedule of games and money
>bi-yearly Lets Go games forever is our future hell
In retrospect, Stars might have made the franchise so much better, even if we never would have known...
