>>48607831>Increased graphical qualityDidn't happen outside of what was inevitable for a more powerful console.
>Increased number of new monsDidn't happen still under 100 new mons just like the rest of Gens after gen V
>New, innovative, and exciting ideas for Pokemon that subvert our expectations and have powerful political messagesDidn't happen has fuck all to do with the dexcut
>Increased ability to give old Pokemon new buffs and mechanics to make them more interestingBuffs can happen in the absence of the dexcut. A new gameplay formula didn't happen and could exist outside the ecosystem of full transfer and in the absence of partial transfer.
>Increased visual fidelityDidn't happen
>Greatly expanded the competitive sceneBarely. Would have happened anyway because of QOL improvements and the Switch's healthy userbase. Making the single player options worse is not a honorable tactic to make meta more popular
>Increased visual fidelityDidn't happen outside of what was inevitable because of a change to more powerful hardware.
>Reduced redundancy"Reducing the redundancy" of having two similar mons exist does fuck all to make the games better.
STOP FUCKING JACKING OFF TO YOUR IDEALIZED VERSION OF WHAT THE DEXCUT COULD BE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS: A BULLSHIT MARKETING TACTIC TO SELL HOME SUBSCRIPTIONS AND LOW EFFORT REMAKES!!
