>backwards compatibilityJust make the damn stats change on transfer, who GIVES a shit.
If you're making your new game worse because that's the only way it can flawlessly connect with the previous games, you're locking yourself into every decision you make. You can't make smart changes because, what, once upon a time Ditto had limber so now it's stuck with it?
Think about what would have happened to a franchise like Halo if every game the guns had to work exactly the same and problems with them had to be resolved by adding secret upgrades found by playing online text-based games.
Think about what that would do to create a barrier that stopped casual and new players from entering the competitive game.
Shit needs to change. The monsters we developed 15 goddamn years ago don't make sense in the context of the game today and they need to be rebalanced. We don't need to keep slapping shit on to them, we need to be willing to throw away the stuff that didn't work.
If anyone misses Limber Ditto so badly they refuse to buy the next iteration of the game, fuck them, it's worth it.
