>>21774153>>21774245Fair point, but as the second anon mentioned, they did that with XY too. Showing their hand is their marketing scheme for this gen, which is slightly disappointing but not enough to yell PREORDER CANCELLED over.
> 70 Pokemon wouldn't have felt so insultingI disagree that it's insulting at all, if only because I would rather have less new pokemon in the new gens - we're almost at a 1000 already and I don't know what GF is going to do at that number.
>But./vp/ working itself into a frenzy just shows that it does have a negative impact on the community, through no fault of the dataminers or the datamine itself. They just can't handle it, and get all fussy about knowing everything before a release when that was never intended to be the case.
I've been here since the very first reveal of BW, and I can tell you that we do this for every single game that comes out. Hype it up, get super disappointed, and then level out.
It doesn't help that we get reddit and /v/ here during new-game releases too, but whatever.
