>>54979023>Oh ok, I just dont care about legacy, they would all get powercrept sooner or later anyways.But why? In my opinion (i.e. don't get bootyblasted) that's a terrible outlook on an IP whose biggest and best resource is the creatures themselves. You could literally erase all Pokémon games and merch from existence and people would be able to recreate them from memory because they love them and know them. The value, the PRODUCT of Pokémon IS the Pokémon themselves. Doesn't matter what form they come in; like Hello Kitty they themselves are the product. Just because Yokai Watch normalised infinite variations on any given character does not make that a good idea especially considering Yokai Watch is no longer popular after spending a very short time in the public consciousness.
My point is that it doesn't matter if there are SOME shitmons; it does matter if every gen someone's favourite is actively shit on and overshadowed by an objectively superior version for the paltry purpose of "getting muh bigger audience". I don't know why marketers never consider that audiences CAN actually get smaller as well.
>Also its very likely that none of these paradoxes will leave this gen.Standard procedure is that anything that gets a Pokédex number isn't bound by abandoned mechanics. That said, the dexcut would facilitate this.
