That's not how it fucking works. Just because Yellow was lazy doesn't make USUM any lazier. However DLC didn't exist when Yellow was released, and Yellow didn't have tons of misleading advertising, and Yellow didn't have the nerve to split itself into two versions, and YOU ARE COMPARING A 3DS GAME TO A FUCKING GAMEBOY GAME. WHERE ARE YOUR STANDARDS

>DLC
Listen. I know there are theoretically lots of quality benefits to the DLC model. But it's only ever been used to carve out content out of the main game and sell it at an inflated price. USUM and Yellow are both followup games, with different stuff to offer from the games they're based on, and the differences make or break the game for different people.
Fuck DLC, and stop advocating for shitty business practices in the main Pokemon games just because you have a hateboner for Masuda.

Like Gamefreak has been doing for years.

THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING BY DEFENDING THIRD VERSIONS. They withhold move tutors, forms, new moves, new items, and now new species of pokemon forcing everyone to buy the latest version when A FREE PATCH could add that shit in the original versions. Are you SERIOUSLY telling me that you think DLC does more harm than what gamefreak already does?

That doesn't even go into all of the awful business practices of gamefreak.

>event pokemon
>gone forever event items
>buy this movie ticket for a pokemon
>buy this spinoff ranger game for a pokemon
>buy this pokeball controller for a pokemon
>buy two versions of the same game so you can trade with yourself if you don't have friends

Why is that any different?

Well yeah, because you can always just wait for the third version to come out and buy that without buying the other game that came out first. Buying DLC means you're paying twice the game's retail value for the same amount of content.

There's an old saying "better the devil you know than the devil you don't". If you told GameFreak, Nintendo, and the Pokemon Company right now that they could put less game on the cartridges and sell all the fun postgame content as DLC, and it would guarantee to sell no matter what because Pokemon is the most recognized and profitable franchise in the goddamn world, what do you think they would do? What's keeping Pokemon from going full EA and turning the mainline console games into a "live service" business model?

>just wait 2 years and maybe a thrid version will come out, except for XY

That's just as scummy IMO. forcing consumers to buy a beta and then the actual game, or else everything gets spoiled, and the fanbase largely moves on so trading gets hard, you miss out on event pokemon or event items that are early release.

If they released 40 dollars of DLC then that would be shitty, but I can easily see a 20 dollar DLC that adds the typical post game shit. If you think they aren't already holding back content for the third version, you are retarded
