>>29658664I think comic books are a good comparison really. I like a lot of series and characters that aren't particularly popular, I'd like to see them get more attention, new runs, multiple decent adaptions and shit but it's understandable why Marvel/DC are going to push the established characters that have decade long fanbases.
Pokemon are just characters, ofcourse Nintendo/GF are going to use stuff like the Kanto starters, Mewtwo, Meowth and Lucario etc in adverts and as gifts in the game. Giving players access to the most popular characters in most of the games isn't ever really going to be a bad thing, it's Nintedo listening to a sizeable portion of it's fanbase not pandering to a minority, worse case you can just don't use them (like I personally don't with most of the stuff the game makes a big deal about giving, you for it's worth)
And despite what people say Gamefreak never ignore a region. At some point in all the mainline games you have access to like 99% of Pokemon just by owning the previous games or trading. And we have no reason to believe they won't continue making remakes, some recent interview pretty much confirmed it.
I dunno, it really seems like people just make reasons to be angry sometimes.
