>>39236035I don't even care that much about the national dex thing because I'm sure they're just cutting out the filler Pokemon due to time constraints while giving us the relevant Pokemon that do get used. We'll probably get around 400 or 500 Pokemon with everyone mildly usable (and all Kanto Pokemon) included. Filler shit from Unova, Sinnoh, XY and SM might get the cut but I expect to see everyone you'd want in a team there. Or at least everyone from UU and OU tiers.
BUT I don't care that much about it. I'm criticizing them because I can deduce they wasted resources creating the shitty Dynamax mechanic and cutting down the Megas and Z-Moves which were already implemented and functional.
Like, literally no one fucking asked for this. We got 2 new mechanics that worked perfectly together; you can empower 1 evolution and 1 move per battle. Cool that's done. No need to change it, just focus on MAKING A GOOD GAME because that's sorely lacking. Maybe you guys only live playing online but I was raised playing Pokemon alone up to Gen 5, I never had wifi battles, but the games were enjoyable on their own. That wasn't much the case with the 3DS games. They had LESS CONTENT and were easier than all past games, so bad I considered waiting for a 3rd version that never came. USUM are just what SM should have been when put for sale.
AND GAMEFREAK PROBABLY SPENT ALL THEIR RESOURCES MAKING DAMN GIANT POKEMON MODELS AND BALANCING THAT.
The return of the battle frontier? Maybe a revamped Pokemon World Tournament featuring all gym leaders and E4 trainers with full teams? New cities to explore after becoming champion? A hard mode from the beginning? More save slots? Pokemon following you again? Rematches? Enemies with scaled levels so there's alwasys a challenge? Fuck no, I'm sure they're not doing that. GIANT POKEMON. That's what they're doing.
