Game Freak always likes to sell $5 DLC as double-version full-price games.

But this is the second time they've released a double version since BW2, and BW2 was pretty different from BW so how could they always do it?

The only legit complaint tbh is that it's scummy to do 2 "3rd versions"

It's on sale this Thanksgiving for $10 at select retailers. You'd pay $10 for 95% of the same game.

Going by the SM and USUM datamines: the SM story and game text files are about 2 MB, and the USUM game and story text files are about 2.8 MB. USUM has about 1.3 MB in its story text file to the about 0.8 MB in the SM file.

So I'm inclined to think that there was quite a bit added.

LOL are you seriously using file sizes to determine the amount of content?

It's something empirical if nothing else. If you have a better metric beyond "muh feels", then feel free to inform me.

Emerald shouldn't be on that list. Emerald was almost a whole different game, and vastly superior to ruby/sapphire

I might pick them up, i never got Sun and Moon when they released. Yes I know I could get vanilla S/M cheaper, but that's like getting vanilla Dark Souls 3 just cause it's $20 cheaper than the Fire Fades edition.
