>>22905659I like Joe usually but this has to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen him write, hands down.
Also, did he even play Gen 6? Before bank I could get 6IV pokemon easily thanks to the friend safari. Dittos made it way easier but he says that like nobody had 6IV pokemon when in reality they weren't hard to get at all thanks to the destiny knot/IV checker.
No, Joe. Having backwards compatibility was always planned. They have to use a different method since they run on different hardware. In the age of the internet they decided to use the internet to do it rather than make new hardware which would cost extra (like the GBA slot being in the DS for example). The whole point of pokemon is trading, you really think they were going to take that away in this day and age, especially after the backlash they got with Gen 3?
He has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. God damn, Joe.
