>>42169864I don't even want them back. Even if it took absolutely no dev time to add them in at all, I like having a comp scene where what pokemon are able to be used rotates. It happens in the card games why not have it here? Without the dumb broken shit from previous gens showing up you don't have to make the new stuff even more stupidly strong to make sure they see play.
Even if you don't give a shit about comp, completing the dex is actually doable. Going beyond the regional dex is literally a matter of having other games anyway so it's pointless, and at one point you're probably going to end up having hacked mons in there anyway, save it for Pokemon Home and cut out the middleman.
Bringing in old shit from old games is only possible post game anyway so you can't do anything with them, even if there is a post game, and if there was what's wrong with changing things up and using a team with mons you'd probably not use if your old team is just ported in the game?
Nobody ever shows me any real arguments against these points, I just get "SHILL SHILL KILL YOURSELF" over and over even though I never defend SwSh at any point. I genuinely think the game was rushed and has a lot of terrible ideas from a stale team that needs a break from Pokemon for a couple of gens so we can get some new blood, new ideas, innovation, something. People just don't understand that though and just want "muh models" even though other pokemon can fill the role of any random mon they shill for anyway, it makes no difference, they don't understand what makes a good game, let alone a good pokemon.
