>>52861863>cashgrab If we’re nitpicking this, we’d have to say the same for pretty much all of the games. There’s no reason for 2 + 1 versions, and there never really has been. Trading was a neat idea, but it was flawed from the start. Regardless, no one should actually be buying these games anymore.
>can’t evolve PikachuNot really an issue in my opinion. Using it presents a small challenge, and it is neat to roleplay as Ash/Red. Sucks for the Raichu fans. I guess the game is buggy enough you could probably force it to give you one if you really wanted.
>spritesThat’s fair. I’ve never been too fond of Gen 1’s sprites, overall, so this is another that I wouldn’t really notice. GSC vastly improved the sprites in my opinion; hasn’t been topped.
>starters break the gameYou aren’t forced to use them, you know. I like having the option, but I don’t think I’ve used all three outside of one playthrough (out of around 5-10).
>sterilizationThat I actually agree with. It’s an issue with the series as a whole. You wouldn’t know looking at modern games (or even much older) that the original vision for pokemon was considerably more edgy (and not in the goofy comic book tier way you see with some of the villain teams).
