>>57324950I have absolutely zero issues with having a large chunk of mon “cut” from the naturally occurring mon in a given region because the copy-pasting of various lines in multiple regions often serves to make the world feel smaller / less organic. Completely cutting a mon from a mainline game? That’s just being lazy for an IP this large.
Hard to believe that there were multiple lines that completely absent in both Gen 8 & 9 (not that they missed out on much). BDSP omitting anything after Gen 4 was pretty lazy, as well. Not sure why you would pass on what might be the biggest selling point of a remake.
