>>31419863>Also you have to remember anon, this is an anniversary of the series and not just gen 1So, they should've given these new forms to Unova Pokemon too, which came out only 7 years ago and doesn't need anything like this?
The fair reasoning behind the decision. It is pandering, but not bad pandering. The Pokemon that have been the same for the longest were given a rehash.
>Fair would be an equal balance between the generations. Not rampant favouritism of one generation.That's exactly what it fair means, and exactly what would happen
About 18% of all 802 Pokemon are Kanto Pokemon. 23% of all Alola Dex is Kanto Pokemon. That is 5% more than it should be. Not that high of number, especially considering Kanto Pokemon are the most popular ones.
>They are when they exist solely for eyecandy rather than to be a mechanic that changes the game in a significant way. They do damage, have stat changing effects and do just about everything a normal move would do, just better. What else were you expecting?
>it's directing the player into a planned route with very little chance of divergenceOh, so telling you what needs to be done next is bad in a game? Flawless logic.
>>31419874No, but I won't be. If you were actually pointing out flaws, like the ones I previously recognized, SOS Battles, having just overall extra content, no skip button, I would not defend them. Those are actual flaws. But right now, the things being mentioned are just minor nitpicks that doesn't make a game bad in any way at all. Not having Johto Alolan forms isn't making the game bad. Referencing Kanto isn't making the game bad. These aren't flaws.
