Admittedly, it is still less content for the equivalent price, but it's still new pokemon content. It's ok to feel like you didn't get value for money, and I would /encourage/ you to criticise the company for it (in a reasonable, not-harassment way), but lashing out in bad faith at random people who bought and enjoyed the game despite its flaws just makes you sound like... well, an entitled prick.
