i liked sword and shield but it felt like half of a Pokmon game.

now theyre selling us the other half for another $30 on top of the $60 (which was almost twice as much as any other main series Pokmon game to date) we already played.

@ParanoidObsessive
this would be like considering the same game released on Xbox one and PS4 two separate games because they each have version exclusive costumes or some shit

Some people do buy the game twice though. Nintendo knows it too. They sell dual packs.

I feel like you missed the entire literal meaning of my post, and your response is both irrelevant and objectively incorrect based on what I actually said.

Please tell me ONE Pokemon game that has as much content in the post-game that the expansion pass is offering.

Pro-tip: You can't, because Pokemon has always had no post-game.

Pokemon has been shit for awhile now honestly even ignoring things like dexit. People going out and buying a $60 remake of Red and Blue that was worse than the GBA remakes made 14 years prior to it just confirmed for them that they really could just put out any garbage and the fans would still eat it up.

HGSS or ORAS (granted they are remakes, so adding content is much easier when a lot of the work prior doesn't need as much planning).

@THEGODDAMNBATMA HG/SS and they cost less than half as much. Black 2 arguably had more content too. lmao think before you post bro

Kanto isn't post-game. Catching legendaries isn't substantial content. Battle Frontier is boring. Black 2 is the same, all you're doing is fighting a handful of new trainers and unlocking two new routes.

This expansion pass is giving you 200+ more pokemon available on top of NEW pokemon, two new wild areas, two new stories, just hours and hours of content on top of a game that already has a lot.

Though, they do have some differences. Like certain Pokmon, the legendary, and a few gun leaders (in these, at least)...

How is this more scummy than releasing two versions of the same game?

Or releasing two ever so slightly upgraded versions a year later?

At least this way, you get to keep your save.

Tell that to the people who don't. There's a large reason Nintendo markets and sells double packs, and it ain't for sharing.

Not really different from DLC, or the tendency to release a follow-up game.

BW2 definitely had a post-game and it's why it's my favorite in the series. Hard Mode, upgrading Join Avenue, all Pokemon up to that point in the National Dex, PWT, Battle Subway, Black Tower/White Forest, etc.
