>>58745540he was partially right, in that they DID stop having full nationaldex.
And Sumo WAS also the last game to have all gimmicks up to that point, because it did have megas, which is how we know that mega rayquaza can't Z-move even though it can hold the requisite item.
And was also the introduction of regional variants, which are kind of like yugioh retrains but for pokemon. Or the color swaps in yokai watch.
he was expecting a full ground-up reboot as a way to solve the problem, which would have been a nuclear option, so was stupid to expect.
But he was right in the very broadest, squintiest of strokes.
>>58745639i wouldn't even call it a retcon, it's pretty blatantly the scrapped plot for Z.
All they've really done is say "third versions are the canon ones"
Which we already knew from Red having all 3 kanto starters in johto.
It just shows that that extends even to third versions that never get published. If we ever get a hoenn sequel legends game, it will probably be set in hypothetical Delta Emerald.
