Expansions?
There was a Pokmon Direct this morning. DLC coming in June (Isle of Armor) and Fall (Crown of Tundra). $30 for expansion pass (separate for Sword and Shield). Pokemon Home next month.

I think the 200 consists of new and old Pokmon (mostly old). Galarian Zapdos looks like a chocobo.

No they're adding more regional variants, legendaries, and two new wild areas for $30.
All of the new Pokemon will be tradeable to versions without the DLC.

That is a bit better. With how the Bank app needed a cloud subscription fee when access was system locked, the inability to transfer so many pokemon to the first game to finally justify paying for cloud was kind of bullshit in my opinion. If those removed Pokemon can be transferred without buying the DLCs, then things are a bit better.

Pokemon Home might have its own fee. They didn't specify. I'm hoping it's just the Nintendo Switch Online subscription, but I dunno.

Better be nothing more than Switch Online, you are already paying for the cloud there.

well yeah, gamefreak is a small indie dev, they need to charge you to use room on their server HDDs, because 1MB per person adds up to a ton of space needed.

Frankly, I'm surprised there isn't a HDD shortage with how many they would need, 1 megabytes is a LOT of space.

I think it's the Switch equivalent of the 3DS' Pokemon Bank. It let you store Pokemon on Nintendo's cloud service, but you had to pay $5 per year for it. If you went on for too long without paying, they'd delete your storage.

There were some promotions with it (like special shiny Pokemon or hidden abilities). It was nice for transfering Pokemon between games, but the fact that they'd delete your storage if you didn't pay for a few months kinda annoyed me (especially since I don't play the game year round). They easily could've made it a standalone app that just stored it on your 3DS.

"I'm sure they did reduced dex for a great reason like balance, they couldn't sustain having full dex anymore." Is the gist of what you three said.

delaying the game means less money

piecemealing the game means more money

honestly, people defending this dumbass release schedule blow my fuckin mind. definitely not paying $90 to get a complete game and I definitely wont be buying the next games in the series unless theyre actually good and not half assed as fuck like sword and shield.

sword and shield fucking sucked ass too. omg soooo much fun having half of the roster and OH-KOing everything in my path. Not to mention the garbage performance. Easily the worst performing game Ive ever played.

gamefreak got greedier than usual this time and for that, they are dead to me

idk, DLC vs sequel game? Is it really that huge a difference? The only thing that bugs me about this is the lack of a physical copy, although they might do a complete GOTY edition down the road.

I mean, I still stand by that. That they failed to decently balance the reduced dex and are opting to re-expand it for fun and profit doesn't mean reducing the dex wasn't a good idea. It just means that they got greedy and failed to capitalize on the opportunity they created to make a better game.

they made plenty of games for the gamecube if you want to play those

their skills for a developer are still basically portable gaming, not console gaming, especially weak ones at that

Nobody expects the full thing to be balanced, that'd just be silly. It also wouldn't make for a better game. Balance in general is a copout excuse for underproviding content.
