True and i addressed this point in previous posts
The trade off and leap isnt enough which is fascinating considering the heated debates about whether this leap was good enough in the reveal topics!
But the animations aren't
E-mail, Support, Twitter yes.
Harassing developers...no
I actually think this leap is quite tame. This is not a BOTW jump that could maybeee justify rebooting shit. So less of a reason for GF to do this.
To be fair, and to your point, transferring old Pokemon over isn't exactly "catching" them all either.
What I did was tweet them a picture of my Pokémon Bank with the 807/807 with the hashtag, and told them that it would be against the series identity to just ignore so many Pokémon like that in an email.
Upon reflection, the reason this issue truly upsets me is my realisation that Gamefreak has casually disposed of every core motivation I've firmly held for playing Pokémon as an adult gamer.
In cold blood, in all probability, I'm most upset because I've just realised my lifelong Pokémon journey has honestly come to an end.
For Gamefreak's sake, I hope my reaction as a lifelong, adult Pokémon fan is not widely relatable.
Pokémon captivated a generation of children who stuck with the franchise for decades, it requires a serious disconnect to actively turn these longtime fans away.

People should be telling Gamefreak that they can see through the scam that is Pokemon Home--paying a subscription for a glorified trophy case, no guarantee that some of them will ever see the light of day again.
Given the outrage, I'd say it's highly relatable. People are livid over this.
But all the Pokemon were in the code for that game. When FireRed LeafGreen released, you could transfer Johto and Kanto Pokemon over to R/S.
This isn't the same.
And worth noting, these animations are further behind than things like Pokemon Colosseum from years ago
Dynamax has new animations.
I believe the Refresh replacement has new animations. They said they want the Pokémon to be more emotive and thus there would be the place.
Im with ya but i acknowledge there was a fierce debate about the leap
They really need to show off this camping minigame with all of these brand new mind blowing animations, then.
The live chat on the Treehouse livestream is pretty hilarious, they keep relating anything they're saying back to the national dex no matter what is being played on screen.
I think they're really going to feel the community on this one.

This is pokemon.
I'm already expecting that free zone being just an illusion of open world.
So not have Dynamax and Refresh enabled for some pokes? They could also create separate competitive mp queues for Galar and Full Pokedex if they also want to have separate MP.
Ugh the Amie animations are emotive enough and reusing them would've been worth not losing at best half of all Pokemon
Respectful and to the point. I wish a lot more people had your tact instead of being hateful.
Its a toe dip and I almost wonder if early work on this game started on 3DS/crossgen
Thats not to say it doesnt have some upgrades that make it stand out as a switch game
Yeah that'd be the sensible option
And they do have that for multiplayer too, at least in past games
I absolutely knew this would happen one day. They were bound to run into the problem of having too many pokemon eventually, so here we are with the problem and Gamefreak doesn't have the ncessary hardware, or compression, to let people use the pokemon they like.
I imagine that there will be an update or expansion that requies a X amount of GB to download to make more pokemon avilable in Galar, but not having them all available and accessible from the getgo is going to be a BIG deal breaker for a lot of returning players.

I think I'm at a point with Pokemon where I'll buy all the mainline games on release day because it's a new Pokemon. I love this franchise so much, but this pisses me off. I have Pokemon that are years old and seeing them in HD would be fantastic. Not being able to see my Typhlosion and Blaziken in HD is a serious bummer to me. I understand that there will probably be 900+ Pokemon in total before new forms and that's a lot of work for Game Freak before getting to unique form models. Masuda most likely didn't want to do this, but delaying SwSh is out of the cards since this franchise is a factory. If the game goes down, everything else goes down.
We have barely seen anything yet.
Let's talk again when we see the new Amie/Refresh.
I know that. Just adding that part for the people that talk about it also helping "game balance".
They would have to put in a process of making these changes
Even if fan placating options are considered its going to take time and they would have to decide to do it for this game instead of the future
Whoever is in charge can just say no and deal with the heat
Well let me step off my pessimism podium for a second and give you a sliver of hope
I have to imagine the entire legacy list will get updated at least ONE more time as I am sure this generation will last awhile over multiple games. It may be the last generation it happens though
It's like when people insisted there was no camera control or overworld Pokémon.
Just because we haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist
So let's say, eventually down the line, they add a patch or a DLC option or an update or something that adds those Pokemon to the game and enables Home connectivity for those Pokemon. I don't know when... A year from then, 2 years, 3 years, whatever... would that be the same or different to you? Something like Pokemon GO, where all the Pokemon weren't available from the start.
Has then been posted yet? I thought there was a chance that the rest would return in the future.
The thing is, even if it does exist would that make it any better? I feel like sacrificing a chunk of the roster in favor of a mode most people will touch once is a huge misstep
Yeah, I'm curious where this assumption is coming from. Steelix and Arcanine looked as static as ever in the E3 footage.
Not the guy you're replying to, but for me yes.
Maybe not 2-3 years, that's a bit long to me, but some type of delay would be alright.
You couldn't transfer into SuMo for months and no one was really TOO upset compared to this
I'd prefer all the Pokemon over some Camp animations. Plus the overworld trainer and npc models still move around rotating on a stick.
Hope Game Freak or TPC will come out and address this, super shitty of them to hide it in a treehouse live stream when they had a business conference two weeks ago (announcing Home), and a direct last week.
Home isn't that useful if I can't transfer over my whole dex.
How many of you actually care about Amie/Refresh beyond giving Eevee two hearts to evolve into Sylveon?
Like they didnt even have it in Lets Go outside of the partners, and that was only 153 Pokémon

I'm can't even bring myself to enjoy Yamper and Impidimp because I'm still so sour on this. Blah.
They must've changed it up after so many submissions, the response I got was to take it up with Nintendo and Gamefreak.
Amie was cute at first then I dropped it and I touched Refresh maybe twice.
The response I got was that they would pass along my message and that they take feedback very seriously.
And then they filed it straight into the circular suggestion box :/
I think it's horrible to see not only their social media (even on posts prior to E3 where it's clearly someone putting up a lighthearted post, like a fun fact) but to see on posts from journalists who just interviewed TPC that there are childish and harassing comments.
There is a correct way to vocalize concerns and create action, throwing rocks at humans just doing their job is not an example of such.

There's already a built in delay for Home, it's not releasing until 2020, so preferably they'd have everything patched in by Home's launch. I could wait a bit longer but they're just going to lose more hardcore fans the longer they take. Home is a paid service, I assume.
If you're going to have less Pokemon, save it for a Pokemon Snap or Pokken type dealio.
On the other hand, if you're going to cram every single Pokemon, form, Mega, Z, Voltron, yadda yadda, in the game, I wouldn't want the game to get limited to essentially a "catching simulator".
I want all the things. All the Pokemon, all the cheesy story, all the gimmicks. What can I say, I'm a fan. I'm greedy.

I'm sure they lost fans when people found out they couldn't transfer their old Pokemon between Gen 2 and Gen 3. But eventually, they added them back with the newer games. I just feel like the same could happen and IS happening here.
