>>44687986>> the most valid way to judge these products is by comparing their content to previous titles.That's retarded because:
A)There's no objective way to quantify content. Do you want to do it by regional dex, overworld mons and size? SS wins by far if you include the DLC.
B)You're just going to ignore how newer games have objectively more items, gameplay, mons, abilities and QoL improvements because "It wasn't in the old games" which is incredibly disingenuous because it ignores why the old games are not playable in 2020 to begin with.
>now, swooshie is a 2020 game on a home console being produced by the highest grossing media franchise in the world that gets millions in funding on the daily, no doubt.Yes and barely any of this millions come from mainline games. It comes from mainly Pokemon Go as people like you keep on boycotting the mainline games whenever they don't put your favorite boxfiller in
>so why are all of the pokemon games that come before swooshie objectively superior in every way? more difficultyPokemon is a self difficulty franchise. GF even said this.
>more explorationIf you ignore the wild area, IoA and CT
>more pokemonIt has more pokemon than every pre gen 6 game
>more movesEven if this were true for most games, you're just pretending to care about the lost moves that you've never used such as ice ball.
>more postgameNot true and postgame is a stupid concept in itself as it gives you an excuse to ignore things that can be done before the end of the game.
>superior onlineOnly XY, but that was all XY was good for
>metagameStop playing fanfic metas.
>etc. games that costed $40 and are from years ago somehow have more contentThere are numerous factors that cost games to be a higher price over the years. Are you economically illiterate or something?
>more contentYou're ignoring DLC and you haven't explained what content us
>$60 + $30 for the DLC. Which balances it out for hardcore fans who buy both first and third versions.
