For history I only uses new as well, but then in online battles more pokemon means more options. In invested a lot of time in past gens to obtain a lot of cut pokemon with the right nature, IV and egg moves.
Fuck you too Gamefreak, my favorites got gutted.
400 is a fucking joke, and the worst part is that they're gonna start cutting from this list and the new Pokemon even when assets get reused next game, not because they have too, but because they just feel like it and don't give a shit anymore.
What happens to all the other starters from here on out? Do the Gen 5, 6 and 7 ones have to wait until their respective remakes before they'll be brought back? Do Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and the Gen 2, and Gen 3 starters just not exist anymore?
Oh, and competitive is fucked beyond all repair now, so that's a thing.

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?
Well, I'd start with the fact that just putting a model into a new game is a lot more involved than it appears, and it again involves characters that tend to be living, breathing, animated ones that are involved with the environment outside of fighting. And "refreshing the assets" strikes me as less easy when a single generation can span half of a console's life cycle, to the point before long, you're starting all over again.
Wait, the other MegaTen games just use sprites? They don't have any CGI models that are shared with Persona games?
That's a good point. I hadn't considered that.
They would have been crucified if Gen 1 got all their ones in while the others had some cut. No DLC.
We're at over 1,000 Pokemon counting regional variants and Megas, everyone. At a certain point in time, you have to expect GameFreak to reign it in.
The new Pokemon look really good, I have some of my old favorites in there, so 400 makes it much more digestible and beatable to me.

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.
At least the designs are overall pretty good, from what I've seen. Much better than gen VII.
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.
I mean...the last console SMT (SMTIII) was released in 2003. This was the only one that used models. Persona 3 was released on 2006 and has been the premier 3d game with demons for the SMT franchise. After SMT has been a DS and 3DS exclusive which uses static sprites.
Man, I don't even.. 4/6 pokemon from my competetive team got snapped. I don't have time to make new pokemons. Probbably going to skip this entry. Main game is of no interest for me, I just played online battles.
Yes so let's do what everyone does instead of the one thing that sets your franchise apart!
It's genius!
Let's also have NO POST GAME to make up for it!!
Man, fuck this game
I like how you assume missing specific Pokémon means they "just used their exact same team from game to game."
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.
F to my boy Cyndaquil and all the other starters that aren't in this game at all. I figured they'd be safe
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.
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.
User Banned (5 days): antagonizing other users, history of similar behavior
It's almost like these bootlickers are disingenuous shits who would rather we simply shut up and consume product.
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.
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.

Don't worry, your new favorites will be cut from the following game anyway.
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.
The MCU is worth $34bn, backed by Disney who are worth $240bn. Pokémon is worth $95bn. The IP itself alone is worth 40% of Disney. At what point is it reasonable to expect more from Pokémon? It's not that any other monster battling franchise is close. It's worth nearly 3 times the MCU. It's almost worth Star Wars and the MCU combined. More money definitely doesn't mean more competence, but this is a ridiculous order of magnitude difference. I'd say it's fair for fans to have high expectations.
Is the only explanation for this decision them wanting to give players more attachment to their team by having less options to switch out from? That's what I found from a quick search and I haven't kept up with the whole pokedex discussion. If so, that's really shitty.
No Zubat/Golbat/Crobat line is nearly pushing this to "No buy" territory.
Cro is my main GF. Y u do dis?

Really? I'm a "Bootlicker"? I said it didn't affect me. I didn't praise GF for it.
Fuck. why does this always fucking happen? I am always wrong. I am not allowed to enjoy things? I enjoy it? It's fucking wrong and I'm a fucking bootlicker.
Why? Why does everyone here hate me so much? It's a fucking game! I'm not scum for liking it! I'm not evil! I'm not cruel! Why am I hated so fucking much? Please! Tell me whyIm' hated? Why do you guys hate me! Why am I SO FUCKING DESPISED!
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.
Imagine being told last year that you'd get to play with Crobat in the next generation because Game Freak wanted to keep the Let's Go reimaginings faithful, lol. Oh god I'm so sorry.
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.
This is what surprised me the most, when they release Home next year, people are going to try and get their starters over first. So finding they aren't in is going to probably dissuade them from continuing to use Home.
Well, most surprising is still Mewtwo if that actually really is happening.
Yes. We make sweet sweet X-Scissor music togethrr.
Well, we used to but Gamefreak had to be a total relationship wedge :/
