So what grief stage are you on in regards to Gamefreak finally doing a purge and hard reset on the 500+ Pokemon? Ive seen it all
Denial
>Gamefreak is going to release a patch
>GF is a Japanese company, so they're not going to do such a dumb thing
Anger
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>Not gonna buy
Bargaining
>Pokebank is still there so I can pay and they will do someting in the future
>Sign my petition so they can allow National Dex!
Depression
>What will happen to all my Pokemon?
>It's about all the time I spent with my Pokemon
Acceptance
>What other game should I get into?
>Im still going to buy it
You all knew it was going to happen eventually, even the 14 year olds have seen the comic where the devs didn't know how to go beyond a literal GOD Pokemon. You knew it when they stopped having 150 new Pokemon in a gen. You knew it when Gen 5 locked out entire gens until post game. You might have ignored Pokemon Go, and you would have been wrong after it became the #1 app. You might have thought that Pokebank was the saving grace, and you might still be right. They might have a series split, a casual story mode Pokemon, and a full on competitive release that replaces the Stadium/Colosseum releases with full Pokebank support.

In any case, what do you see in the future of Pokemon, now that the reset is happening, and are you optomistic?
