I don't get what's not to understand about that argument.
>>26605247A larger global audience. There's something about people dropping S/M if they can't do battles with X/Y as well, but it has a good counter argument. Too bad fgts is gone because I had a nice argument with a guy about this a while ago.
You could however put it in the opposite perspective. If it's so similar to XY/ORAS, why not have them compatible? I mean, thinking logically with some evidence, S/M was planned before we even knew about X/Y.
>>26605275I'd like to point out that they couldn't.
I know that Platinum or HG/SS did things like accuracy changes, even mid-gen, but that's actually not valid for your argument.
Sturdy had changes, Wish had changes, sleep had changes, things rooted deeply like Priorities had changes. That's the stuff that totally breaks compatibility, things that get introduced when a new gen is upon us. We haven't seen anything like that yet.
>>26605397Simple ROM hacking could do this without making it look as bad as you did it. I could also remove the paint splotches. It's easy because it's the 6th gen engine, which I'm experienced with.
