>>33988336>Shiny PokemonThey add an exciting and fun element to the gameplay at absolutely no cost. Plus they've never been advertised as a fucking selling point.
>Following PokemonSure, but considerable work has been put into this feature i.e. sprites in HGSS and possibly movement animations in SM. Walking your mon in HGSS also gave you additional dialogue for certain Pokemon and items.
>Furfrou haircutsCan't defend this one, although arguably more work has been put into this feature than increasing model size.
Remember anon, you're defending an increased model size being advertised as a feature.
