>>27555712RS was also a reboot. They do this shit every two gens and then backpedal as quick as the next game and bring back all the Pokemon. I think another fake reboot is entirely possible next gen, thank god they decided to do something new in SM instead of that though.
Can I be real? I actually like how much bulk has amassed in the Pokemon games. You can basically discover the entire history of the series just by playing the game. Going back from that would feel like such a step back. I think if anything, they need to retool how the games are designed a bit. Let it be easily possible to start new runs, it currently discourages that. We also don't need both Plates and the old type-boosters, they do the same thing. Get rid of one of them.
