>According to Masuda, the sheer number of Pokémon the series had accumulated over the last two-plus decades got to the point of being unwieldy. "Up until now, we’ve been proud we’ve been able to include so many Pokémon in the games, but as a result of that, there’s actually been quite a few features or gameplay ideas that we’ve had to abandon in the past," he says. "Going forward, thinking about the future of Pokémon, we want to prioritize all those new gameplay ideas, new ways to enjoy the game, and want to challenge ourselves at Game Freak to create new ways to enjoy the game. That’s really what drove the decision for this new direction."

>The decision was the result of collaborative talks between Game Freak, The Pokémon Company, and Nintendo. "We have a lot of awesome new challenges that we haven’t even revealed in Sword and Shield," Masuda says. "We want to continue to come up with these new features, so we figured this was the best path forward for the franchise"

Now we know that Nintendo and TPC are involved in the decision too, it's not just Game Freak being lazy

>Things are a bit complicated when diving into how the team decided which Pokémon wouldn't carry over into the Galar region. "A wide variety of discussions happened; it’s not just one kind of criteria for deciding which Pokémon are going to appear in the games, but a lot of different reasons, a lot of different directions, a lot of debate over which ones would be the best in the game," Masuda says. "I think one example of that is figuring out the Pokémon that would make sense for the setting of the game the most; these Pokémon look like they could live in the Galar region. We really spent a lot of effort deciding which would best fit the setting of the adventure and the features that we wanted to implement. I think players will be satisfied. There’s quite a few Pokémon that you’ll encounter in the Galar region Pokédex, so I think players will have fun seeing all the Pokémon."

>When I ask for specifics about the Pokémon that didn't make the cut for Sword and Shield – including names and total number of creatures – Masuda did not elaborate. However, he was much more explicit when I asked if cut Pokémon will return in future games. "Definitely," he says. "You can look forward to seeing Pokémon that don’t appear in these games appearing in different regions in future games. I think Pokémon Home, for a lot of players, will serve as a launching pad to gather them all there and then embark on future adventures."

This. I'm not going to buy Ultra Sword for the missing Pokemon if they remove all the ones that are in Sword. I want a game with every Pokemon, not just a collection of some of them, and I'm more than willing to wait. I have enough games I own and haven't played to last me years. If the Pokemon games going forward will be incomplete, I'll just pass on them.

Why can't we get post release patches instead of the same game with minor tweaks a year later?
>>40195511
Pokemon is the only series that actively cuts large amounts of popular gameplay features, it's understandable to lose things like Secret Bases or Underground, but losing things like Battle Frontier, following Pokemon or the game being completely playable from the touch screen make no sense. With other franchises, they take popular ideas and improve them with each release but with Pokemon they dump major things each generation and now we're at the point where they're introducing gimmicks only to cut them next generation like with Megas and Z-moves. Now Pokemon has huge feature bloat and we're losing Pokemon because of it.

I doubt it. The reason other franchises on the Switch have been selling so well isn't simply because they're on the Switch, but because the devs have put clear effort into them and focused on addressing complaints and requests that fans have had for years, if not decades
>Breath of the Wild broke 3D Zelda out of the funk it got into where every single game was an increasingly formulaic, linear experience
>Super Mario Odyssey finally took 3D Mario back to the sandbox platformer style that people loved and is filled with fresh new ideas
>Smash Ultimate brought back every single character and added several of the most highly requested newcomers ever, along with just generally much more polished than most previous titles
All that and more.
Pokémon, on the other hand, is not doing this. If anything it's doing the opposite, and people aren't totally blind to that fact. Game Freak's laziness and inability to listen to fans is being exposed for all to see at the absolute worst time possible for them, when almost every other dev team is working harder than ever and being ever more willing to listen.

That doesn't make the practice good. There are still people in the Halo community bitching about not being able to dual wield or play as Elites, and those are certainly less integral to the Halo series gameplay than features that Bungie/343 consistently brought back, like vehicle hijacking. Likewise, long time Fallout fans ripped Fallout 4 for not including a skill system, something that really was a core component of every Fallout game prior. And 76 was ripped even harder because it didn't rectify this error 76 got torn apart for so much shit that this little nugget flew under the radar for most people but it's still valid. Pokemon has historically done even worse than that. Pokemon games don't just slash aesthetics or mechanics. They straight up remove ingame functionality and QoL changes.

The PSS in gen 6 was the ultimate in mutiplayer UI, and it got replaced with the shittnigger Festival Plaza because haha I don't really know. Imagine if a Halo game came out and said 343 "You can longer join multiplayer matches from the main menu. Instead, you have to enter the campaign, then go to a central hub, then go through a loading screen, and then you will be on a new map where you can talk to NPCs that will escort you to multiplayer mode. Also there's only eight guns in the whole game now because small indie dev puhreeze undastandoo."

It's literally a renamed Bank with its own subscription independent of Switch Online and Bank's subscription.
At best it'll be a glorified trading app on top of the already existing storage capabilities, since if it serves as a model viewer, that will make the "we need to work on better animations and models" story inconsistent.

Stupid comparisons, first installments almost always outsell remakes, which in turn almost always outsell third versions. LGPE dropped around 3 million sales from the previous remakes and the sales have almost completely dropped off at this point, no legs at all for a Pokémon title.
>Mario Kart 8 DX is 60 dollars for a shitty DLC pack version of the old game and GREATLY outsold MK8.
Switch port of an already popular Wii U game outsells the original, absolutely not a shock.

Star Allies fanservice does not fix the game's actual awful problems. In fact, they make them worse since they're all god-mode on a level that makes even the only remotely challenging part of the game (the arena) a ridiculous cake walk. Plus, most of the games sales were in it's first months, before the updates happened.

Also L O L at "no legs'' when it's increase between reports has been identical to those of previous remakes and an even bigger laugh at "youre wrong, it wont sell better on the switch!" but also you admit MK8DX sold better than the Wii U one simply because it was on the Switch.

Just cope with it already, this game will be a smash hit, It's genuinely better for you to accept that so we can avoid your autistic meltdown whenever news of it's high sales come out.

No, it sold better simply because the Wii U one was on Wii U. They could have ported it to just about any other console and it probably would have outsold it because the Wii U was a disaster.

He's under the belief you want the National Dex back rather than the ability to use all Pokemon in general, which inherently means the Dex is impossible to complete without transferring as they're not going to hamfist every single Pokemon that qualifies into a single pair of games for the sake of a National Dex, lest the normalfags complain about there being "too many Pokemon".

Because they could potentially keep the feature since you CLEARLY care about it so much, and enhance it by adding new ways to cook curry, new curry recipes, and as such, new forms of curry with new mechanics of their own to spice up the game and/or add a level of depth to each individual Pokemon by giving them even more personal likes and dislikes that allow you to further immerse yourself into the idea that the Pokemon aren't just 1s and 0s, but in fact living creatures with as much personality and preference as a human?

megas and z-moves adding literally nothing to the game except more power creep. Most competitive players will probably tell you dynamax is more interesting just because it's an actual new battle option you can use with any of your pokemon at any point in the battle without having to pre-build it.

An innate non-item based option means you can just put it on anyone with zero restriction. There's no strategy, it's just a three-turn nuke. It's basically just three Z-crystals, but unlike Z-crystals, which are made interesting by giving each status move its own unique special effects, all status moves in Dynamax mode are just turned into Z-protect so it's purely about damage output with zero quirks whatsoever. And megas were actually able to make irrelevant pokemon relevant, as well as bestowing interesting abilities, whereas Dynamaxing seems to just be a flat stat boost.

Again, clearly someone who doesn't actually play competitively.
I'll agree that megas are definitely power creep shit, but even then, that's mostly just for the higher spectrum of megas, there's a pretty good number of megas that contribute to the game without just being blatantly broken.
But Z-moves are not power-creep at all, except maybe Z-Geomancy but that's an Xerneas problem more than a Z-move problem.
>Most competitive players will probably tell you dynamax is more interesting just because it's an actual new battle option you can use with any of your pokemon at any point in the battle without having to pre-build it
But that's just the problem, it's just a brainless power dump. There's no strategy, it's literally just a button that makes you super strong for 3 turns with weather effects. At the very best you can set up a few turns of weather shenanigans but that's it.

You need strategy to decide what Pokemon Dynamax is best to used on for in the scenario and when to use it. It's weird that you accuse me of not playing competitive and then go on to say complete bullshit like this.

They are telling us to buy the next games rather than patch them. JFC GAMEFREAK FUCK YOU.

That sets up an expectation for them to have all Pokemon consistently available every single Non-Let's Go Game, and when they invariably have to "rework" all the assets yet again in response to a hardware jump, that complicates the annual development cycle, which in turn hurts the anime and merchandise because there's no core game, which in turn bleeds money with no returns to warrant that money loss.

That would be Nintendo's decision, not Game Freak's.

Nintendo and TPC want a new Pokemon game out every year to push hardware and merchandise sales.

As >>40196969, Game Freak is Nintendo and TPC's sweatshop.

they should just release a pokedex of all the old pokemon when they revealed that shit
keep the new ones hidden sure but just let people bicker so you could address it instead of letting it linger until launch day.

Nope, rosterfagging produces discussion, and discussion produces interest in the game, and interest in the game produces more sales.
Remember, there's no such thing as bad PR.

Dragon Quest - Simple turn based battles
Dragon Quest II - Party system
Dragon Quest III - Class system
Dragon Quest IV - AI system(Forced on you in the original)
Dragon Quest V - Monster recruitment
Dragon Quest VI - Revised class system with monster recruitment(The latter done a bit differently in the remake)
Dragon Quest VII - Class system with monster classes added on.
Dragon Quest VIII - Skill tree system. Alchemy system. Monster team and arena.
Dragon Quest IX - Tweaked class system similar to DQIII mixed with a Skill tree system like DQVIII. Alchemy system.

Dragon Quest X and XI I have yet to play and I'm avoiding spoilers on the latter(Since the former never got an international release, I don't really know what new things would be in it).

This whole thing just makes me give up. Don't matter what GF do, it'll be defended. People want the most basic bare bones experience possible. The simplest aspects of team building and management are too much now. Having more options for your team is a bad thing. Fuck having any options is bad. GF could remove catching and let you pick teams from a list and they'd be applauded for a bold interesting new move They don't think about the effect on the game as a whole.

Most customers want a quick experience they can blow through in a weekend while jerking off about their childhood. They don't see the value in the series. And it will sell 10 million+ easy.

one could say this about any franchise unfortunately, Star Wars, Disney, alot of franchises get to that point.
they all just wanna say "I CLAPPED WHEN I SAW THAT THING FROM THE FIRST INSTALLMENT"
that's why a franchise is healthiest when its not too big, eventually its popularity becomes a downside.

Fucking hell, you know it’s bad when a gacha becomes the better of two options. I’m actually quite shocked that despite the many problems masters has, I’m having more fun with it than any game gamefreak has released since XY with the exception of SM

Doesn't matter, Pokémon is a system seller and just like when the 2DS launched so young children could still play Pokémon without parents worrying about the 3D fucking up their eyes, the Lite ensures those same young kids will end up with a copy of Sword or Shield at christmas because it's not as risk-itensive as giving a child a full-fat Switch is, as is tradition.

Games that get praised for that usually make bigger gameplay changes, which can have varying results. This can be pretty evident in fighting games, characters can barely play the same between entries cause the whole idea of this entry is different. But in general there is an expectation that general system improvements should be kept. Online features should improve rather than regress

Now imagine if in SF6 they just went, you know online modes? Like ranked and lobbies? Yeah we scrapped those, but you can go into arcade mode and then open another menu to look at a list of online players. You barely have to imagine cause SFV fucked up modes so badly on launch that it has never lived the reputation down. That's what Pokemon does, it misses the base line of hey this functionality vastly improved the game without hurting any other aspects. They want to do big experiments each game, but don't study the results for how they should act going forward. They are only consistent on removing choice and variety. Yet it never hurts their bottom line, cause it is pokemon.

That's what CoD did with WW2. What a shitty game that was I hadn't bought a CoD since Black Ops 1 hence why I bought it to try and relieve the fun. What a miserable experience it was.

The anime is already going to its own way rather than depending completely to the new games.

Merch is the same case because nips buys whatever new halloween or xmas pikachu every year
