On one hand there is a legit criticism buried underneath all this because 500 Pokemon will be left out of the most recent games and will eventually end up stuck in Limbo, boxed in Pokemon Home until a game comes out that you can use them in. On the other hand, hell no nobody cares about the new Pokemon, Gen 5 taught us that.
It's sad that today I received my Sword and Shield Switch Lite and got excited for Pokemon again, to then read this and the other thread of harassing I forget who involved in the game and idk, I'm not excited. I'm sure I'll be back where I need to be once I play it but the desire to talk about it is at an eh level. My fault for reading all those pokemon threads about the fucking pokedex.
Ah, that's fair, I suppose. Are you excited about the new Pokemon? Does that excitement outweigh or at least match your disappointment? Or no?
Gen 5 was the only one to sort of start you off with ZERO old Pokemon, right? To me that's the way to go, but based on the other comment above I could see why that would upset some people. I don't know - to me, perhaps if Pokemon changed a lot more between iterations - I could definitely understand the disappointment. You want to see your old pals in a new environment. But since they don't change a lot (I'm not trying to debate this, but as a casual fan it's just my view) - to me, new Pokemon is the part that's exciting. Hell, I'd love it if you didn't know a THING about any of the new Pokemon until you started the game - I think that'd be fucking awesome.
This quote really excites me for the future of Pokemon, no matter what imo in the long run we will see the benefits of only having a national dex.
Yeah. This along with the Overwatch thing makes me think they're slowly Incorporating refunds into their system. Nintendo wouldn't dare to strain ties with TPC, even with controversy and criticism
the policy a few years ago when I was there was that no refunds period unless there was a reason for it (accidental purchases, stolen cards, etc), so if you just straight up didn't vibe with a game that wouldn't be a good enough reason
Expecting its the latter, TBH. There's no reason whatsoever any vendor shouldn't allow you to cancel a digital preorder and they're getting into hot water in the EU because of it.
A couple weeks back I asked for a refund on a digital purchase because I wanted to purchase that game physically instead and since it was my first time they allowed it but said they would never do it again asking me to be more careful, I'm 100% sure that this is a policy that you can refund 1 game once.
That's good to hear! I'm psyched too, and I haven't been psyched about a Pokemon game in a loooong time. I'm excited about the fact that I'm excited lol.
It's likely changed since I left since *especially* digital game purchases were something we were instructed to say no to. I think there were cases like yours where it was fine but I think we required a receipt for some people with bad histories.
