>>42417496>>42417565XY had a nice and complete region with a larger roster than SwSh (even if we only count Regional Dex), with various Pokemon to transport, minigames, the start of customization and some postgame secrets.
ORAS was a full remake with new features like Soaring and Delta Episode with Triple and Rotation Battles as well as every addition from XY, keeping the Secret Bases and Contests, trickster house, an achivement system, improving problems of the original games like the Mirage Island and expanding upon them, and while they modified certain locations like New Mauville and Sky Pillar, they also improved previously empty placer like Scorched Slab and added a more difficult Elite 4 with better final battles for both rivals, and adding a nice variety of trainers for the Multi Battles. They also added various Mega Stones, some of which required certain milestones to obtain. It may not had a Battle Frontier, but it still had plenty of everything and didn't require an expansion.
Only those two games had way more content, battle types, minigames, exploration, easter eggs and secrets than SwSh and they cost $10 less on top. In fact, each of them offers more or less the overall SwSh experience (even if you count the wild area) and are more than 5 years older than them.
And you can't deny it was EXTREMELY questionable that just charizard made it with a new form while the other two starters didn't (as well as the Galar Starters when in ORAS and SM they had their gimmicks present), yet they were programmed on the games as well as many other select Pokemon.
I am not poor; I preffer to spend my money on actual quality content and not just open my asshole for papa Masuda. Accept you are getting even less content than in gen VI and on top of that pay more money.
