>>41406333>Microtransactions up the ass>Cosmetics cost real moneyPokemon did this - See the Amazon preorder
>Clothes cost real moneyThis is literally the same thing as above you retard
>XP candies cost real money>Preorder to get exclusive Johto starter!Pokemon did this. Preorders of the duel pack were required for a couple dynamax Pokemon, and buying within X days is required for gigsntamax Meowth. Pokemon has been pulling this shit since Gen IV where if you don't buy the game within it's launch window you miss out on Pokemon forever. Whether you wanna admit it or not, it's the same fucking concept as preorder characters, they have been doing it longer, and the only reason it isn't tied to preorder is because children typically don't get the game until Xmas.
>Cosmetics and paint jobs for Pokemons that cost real moneyThis is the 3rd time you mentioned cosmetics. Yeah, you are retarded.
>Competitive Items cost real money>Items that are pre-order exclusiveWe have plenty of preorder exclusives, see above. Also, Blazikinite for XY, Marshadow Z move stone, ect.
>Single player is 8hrs longGot that now, especially if you don't count cutscenes.
>Good mons come in random lootboxesRandom encounters are the same basic concept as loot boxes (before loot boxes were sold instead of earned)
>Breeding removed or drastically restricted to accomodate the systemIt is restricted with the dexcut.
Pokemon is far more "AAA" then fags like you wanna admit
