I always use new pokemon in these games so I'm not affected by this at all. I just didn't know how many people just used their exact same team from game to game.
93Not even freaking Zubat. Thank god at least Galvantula got in.
Can anyone tell me the total number of new Pokemon?
Let's not forget our dear Bulbasaur and Squirtle.
"All gen 1 is equally pandered, but some gen 1 is more equally pandered than others"
You haven't explained why my suggestion of using the Sun and Moon models for the missing Pokemon won't work, so I don't know why you expect me to keep jumping through new hoops as you move the goalposts. It literally doesn't matter how many demons are in a series that rarely breaks a million units per game, the point is I'm saying Pokemon should use the same business model. They should keep making the same number of new Pokemon per game and keep refreshing the old assets at the same rate as Sword and Shield (so no extra work for the devs), just don't dump the rest of the old assets in the garbage and instead bring them over.
If the counter-argument is "oh those were for the 3DS they won't work," okay whatever — do what I said starting now. Let Sword and Shield miss most of the cast but start building up the library from this point forward so by the Sinnoh remakes and gen 9 we'll be back to having the whole gang.
Persona: Outside the main characters Persona's? A few are prominenet mini-bosses but other than that no.
Shin Megami Tensei? The are heavily involved in the plot but outside a few cutscenes these games use static sprites. There is little to no animation on Sprites in SMTIV: A or SMTIV.
I don't think cars are just reskins. You have to account for the physics and driving model for each one. Plus customization. Interior models vary a lot too.
I'd largely stayed out of this issue because I didn't know numbers but it looks to me from a quick count that there's almost 500 missing Pokémon? I'm aware of the time and cost to create models and animations but that's truly shocking to me.
Why would they not use the character models and animations from Let's Go for the Gen 1 characters and evolutions?
Have they said they'll add the missing Pokémon in throughout the year in the form of DLC at all?
They won't be patched in.No luxray and the other starters?
Legitimately not buying this until more are patched in.
Fucking Charizard over the other 2 Gen 1 starters? That's terrible.
The Pokeball controller has some compatibility with Sword and Shield, and Mew is already stored on it. The ultimate DLC.
Oof, that's kinda of low.
Wait, the other MegaTen games just use sprites? They don't have any CGI models that are shared with Persona games?

I like how you assume missing specific Pokémon means they "just used their exact same team from game to game."I always use new pokemon in these games so I'm not affected by this at all. I just didn't know how many people just used their exact same team from game to game.
I think gamefreak confirmed
SMTV might reuse some of the models from Persona V, but who knows what is happening with that game at the moment.
SMTIV and IV-A used sprites. Nocturne used models.
Is a niche JRPG franchise a fair comparison for the largest IP in the world? Does SMT have a paid subscription service for you to be able to bring your demons along across generations?
It's almost like these bootlickers are disingenuous shits who would rather we simply shut up and consume product.I like how you assume missing specific Pokémon means they "just used their exact same team from game to game."
Game Freak has confirmed several times that this is how they're making Pokemon games going forward, and they've only said that the missing Pokemon may appear in future games.
This is exactly what I'm thinking. If people actually gave other pokemon a chance they would find more favourites or might start to like all the pokemon more.Sucks to lose so many including Totodile, the best of all Pokemon, and I understand the general disappointment. Personally though, I'm not overly fussed - I see this as an opportunity to find new favourites, ones I haven't really given a chance to before.

Key word being "may".Game Freak has confirmed several times that this is how they're making Pokemon games going forward, and they've only said that the missing Pokemon may appear in future games.

They couldnt be bothered to patch in the handful of new megas ORAS got to X/Y or the new Pokemon in USUM to the base versions.
How do sales affect the amount of work that needs to be done? I've already talked about how more time + money don't necessarily correlate to more content. And then there's the fact that even if Pokemon is bigger on its own, that value is accumulative, as in it represents earnings over time, not what are held currently. And even then, other franchises are backed by corporations far more prosperous and influential than Nintendo and GameFreak. The "biggest IP in the world" ignores so many factors it's gotten to be almost silly.
So yeah, the fact that no other monster battling franchise even approaches Pokemon's scope is entirely relevant.

Cro is your main girlfriend :P?No Zubat/Golbat/Crobat line is nearly pushing this to "No buy" territory.
Cro is my main GF. Y u do dis?
Yeah. Like I always use a team of all new Pokemon each gen, that doesn't mean that the cuts don't affect me. Especially when it comes time for multiplayer and the maison/tower.I use as many different Pokemon in my teams as possible. I love a lot of different Pokemon. It doesn't fix the problems with Dexit.

Not putting any starters in besides Charmander seems like a huge mistake, given that starters are going to be a lot of people's favorites.

Yes. We make sweet sweet X-Scissor music togethrr.
