How come Kanto escaped the "muh cut content" backlash?
>inb4 people thought it wasn't a maintitle even though Masuda clearly daid so otherwise

I guess it was just pure overconfidence in le "gen8 is for veterans" meme

They're remakes of Yellow that serve as glorified tutorials for all of the GO players they're making games for now.

That's literally it. I remember telling people not to buy it, or it would send the message that casualization and cutting Pokémon was okay. They would always say it's just for Go players, it won't affect the main games.
And lo and behold, SwSh explicitly took features from LGPE because it was so popular.

People were bitching a bunch about Let's Go and its content though. Were you not browsing here last year? It just wasn't as big a shitstorm because "spin-off" and "next game will totally be for the core audience haha".

Becausee Ishihara told us to wait for 2019 and that the 2018 games would be the traditional kind of games long times had been waiting for. We all took LGPE to be some spinoff/main title hybrid and were patient enough to wait for what he promised.

Well, people have been conditioned to blindly trust companies, and they will continue to do so. Disney, Nintendo, Gamefreak, etc. For the past half decade or so there's been shit like this, people defend GF based on what they've said (lied) or what they think they might have said.

LGPE was supposed to be limited from the get-go, it is a stop-gap remake of gen 1 for when we wait for supposedly the biggest pokemon game yet. Which ironically ended up both shorter than LGPE and less interesting and balanced than it competitively.

Yeah RB and GSC were the best games for their consoles.
GBA era was a bit of a setback. The DS era was filled with tons of content while the 3DS era was quiet ok as not many 3ds games delivered in any spectacular fashion.
The switch games on the other gand are a total disgrace considering what the console is capable off.

There was a shit ton of criticism with its announcement. But then Ishihara did an interview where he said, “Don’t worry! Relax! This game is just for the new GO fans and first-time players, we’re also working very hard on Gen 8 specifically for our long-time fans. It’ll be out next year, promise”

Not even really a conventional spinoff. It retains series conventions and only changes up the catching mechanic.

It's also made by GameFreak, is a remake of a mainseries game, and is compatible with Pokemon Home.

Why people think this game is a spinoff is absolutely baffling.

Look at all these shills giving LGPE a pass, the games are just as lack luster and shit as Shit and Shill. Just because they're 'faithful' remakes don't give them an excuse to not be innovative. (No, Pokemon Go integration is not fucking innovation)
It's no wonder Shit and Shill are released the way they are, when even Let's Go Piss and Ew are considered good.
