>>34387250>Levitate Gengar.Changing isn't exactly the same as flat out removing. What if they completely erased Gengar from existence? Would THAT be ok?
>And there is nothing dumb, unfair or unjust about deleting Pokemon that actively makes people not want to buy the games.fucking bullshit
EVERY single Pokemon, no matter how lazily designed, dumb, competitively worthless, or silly, is important. Completely making them unexist would go against things that make Pokemon Pokemon. Pokemon's all about the rich diversity of magical creatures and whatnot. There's one Pokemon for everyone, and flat out deleting some forever over others is way, way worse than simply "not having it in the regional dex" or "not getting a much-needed buff".
You seriously cannot tell me that REMOVING a Pokemon from the entire franchise forever would not be unfair. People will definitely buy Pokemon games for sure; that's always gonna be a thing. But every single Pokemon is not worth permanent deletion.
