>>55265503Since we now have two games with DLCs, I think I can give my two cents. When it comes to the third versions, they were very ass on the part that you had to buy the same game again just to see very little changes and for the third legendary to get it's 15 minutes of fame. The only major good thing about them was the postgame, but that should have been in the original versions in the first place. The only good third versions were BW2 as they completely overhaul on what a third version should be, it's the same region but with a new story about what happen 2 years after the original event (being a true sequel) and expanding the region with new locations. Out of all third version, BW2 try and did the most.
Now for DLCs. I remember Gamefreak saying that the DLCs are meant to be the replacements for third versions, but it didn't feel that way. Sword and Shield DLC was just there and didn't really expanded anything. While I do enjoy the idea of getting new pokemon, problem was that all the new ones were just legendaries so you know that's already a problem with trading and collecting them without some issues. And the lore on some of these legendaries are super lackluster and vague. Honestly, this just felt like them selling the post game itself and calling it a DLC. Now SV actually improve a lot that it felt like true DLCs. Actual self contained stories that still felt like an adventure, new pokemon and some that are not legendaries, and the return of event stories. While yes, the performances of the game is still ass, but let's be honest here...it's Gamefreak. Also, I hate how they hype up Terapagos and only for it to be a folder and do jack shit while you had Calyrex (who I'm assuming is meant to be the third Legendary of Gen 8) gets much more and Ogerpon, the lesser legendary of the two, had an amazing story that made you fell in love with it. I also hate that the only way to obtain Pecharunt is to buy the DLCs.
Hold on, hitting the 2000 letter checkpoint.
