>>36992845>A standard boss battle is a risk>Three different battle modes were removed >Several other features were removedA risk would be a second new battle system added to the game.
A risk would be a game with nothing but double/triple/rotation battles.
A risk would be a pokemon game where you weren't a 10 year old mute self-insert but a predetermined character with actual lines of dialog and a real backstory in the world.
A risk would be a different genre.
A risk would be crossing over with a different series.
A risk would be re-balancing every pokemon from previous generations without adding new ones.
All of these things are stuff Mario, Zelda, and like have done differently in the last 5 years. Your little totem battles don't hold a candle to any of this.
