I find that list a little suspect, since there's so many super popular pokemon not coming back

I mean, no squirtle or bulbasaur? No Blaziken, and no fucking Mewtwo?

Trimming some redundant pokemon from the roster is fine, but I find it hard to believe they would cut so many fan favorites

I stopped caring about pokemon since they announced let's go pikachu/eevee. I'm the original pokemon blue player but I always gave them the benefit of the doubt that their gameplay hardly improved because of handhelds.

But now that its on the switch, its the same damn game once again reskinned. They make a fuck ton of money. Easy money. And they will continue to do so.

But I've had enough they're not getting my 50.

We haven't had a full roster since XY, like 2014ish.

Nope. It's not ok in the slightest, and anyone that finds it important for the franchise to improve will buy the game used if they get it at all.

I am not okay with that, on principal

I dont try to complete the dex so fundamentally it wouldnt affect my experience, but for them to have cut more than half of all pokemon in a game that does not look notably better than the previous game is just lazy

a good developer would have taken more time on this game, and given players what they wanted. This is just them cutting corners to keep the series annualized and I can support it

I dont have faith in Nintendo fans to not support this either :/

All pokemon have always been available in all games, in the sense that the code existed for them and you could eventually transfer the entire Pokdex into each game if you chose)

when they refer to cuts in this new game it means the code for them is not even there, there is no way to ever have the cut pokemon in sword or shield (unless they patch or sell as dlc)

this is unprecedented for mainline pokemon games

And you believed?

Pikachu, Eevee, and Mewtwo are essentially the holy trinity: the cash-cow pokemon that the fans won't stand for losing permanently, and Game Freak knows it. One of them had to be put on ice to sell DLC, and of the three, Mewtwo was the safest choice. But you don't leave these three out forever, and so the current absence has to be taken as evidence that they have no intention of leaving them out forever.

I am not okay with this. If the new Sword and Shield looked like Nintendo's other AAA games (BotW, Odyssey) then I could maybe have understood why from a development perspective they didn't have time to remodel and animate 800 Pokemon (even if they made a big to-do about all their Sun/Moon models being future-proofed). But the game still looks super basic. It could absolutely have come out on the WiiU. So I'm not buying any of there "please understand" bullshit. If your development team doesn't have the manpower to make the game with all the Pokemon and look like the main console debut that people have been waiting for, then hire more people. Pokemon is the biggest media franchise of all time. You have the money.

All that being said, the list of cut Pokemon is oddly comforting. I was really expecting them to have trimmed out like 200-300, less notable Pokemon and have the franchise move on forever. The fact that they cut out so many and that there a so many notable Pokemon not included, implies that whatever Game Freak says, they are planning on adding them back it. It's still bullshit that it has to happen at all, but I guess it is better than never getting them.

That said, I am not getting this game new. I might by it used later but Game Freak/Nintendo need to see some wallet voting.

This is important to remember

pokemon games literally print money. Why arent they reinvesting it in making these games better?

Unfortunately it's because the "games literally print money". Whether they spend $10 million on a game or $100 million on a game, it's still gonna sell like hotcakes so why not save the extra $90 million. They won't spend more money until they actually need to.

Gen 7 didn't have the full pokedex, but you could still transfer and use old pokemon all you wanted. You just couldn't look at their pokedex entries, which is disappointing, but compared to this it's whatever.

They haven't had a "National Dex" in a while, but you could always bring over Pokmon that weren't able to be caught in the versions. Now there's really no National Dex in that if they're not already in the game, you can't bring them in.

IMO, cutting more than 50% of the Pokmon is really sucky and I don't see it as ok at all. That being said, I've already caught them all and as a result, I don't care too much (but I certainly understand people that do). Still going to buy both because I'm a sucker like that.

It just sucks that the Switch has Nintendo's major franchises having stellar releases, and Pokemon gets this shit. BOTW and Mario Odyseey take some of the best features from modern gaming and their series roots.
Instead, Pokemon gets literally the same shit all over again because Gamefreak are hack developers

I mean, I hear you and all

But on behalf of F-Zero fans everywhere, be glad for what ya got.
