My mind skipped "event" and I thought we are in for legendary shitstorm.
I think Japan is now finding out about cut Pokemon via the western leaks. So now there is massive uproar there, at least my friend tells me so.
While I'm frustrated that half the pokemon roster has been downright deleted. The amount of shit being thrown at the devs is undeserved.

Game Freak saw the success of Thanos and decided to 1-up him eliminating more than half the Pokémon from the game.
you used to be able to bring any old pokemon from your old game into a new game, with Sw&Sh that's not possible anymore, you can only bring a few selected ones over.
Boycott and death threats is apparently serving them well.
I'm staying spoiler free, so I don't know how many Pokémon were cut. For the reactions, it seems to be a lot more than expected.
I really don't know how they can fix this in the short-term without changing their release schedule for other games already in development.

You can't putt boycott and death threats on the same level come on.
Sword and Shield doesn't allow you to transfer Pokémon from previous games, which people are taking badly. It's hung over the release of these games for months.
It's Eurogamer speculating and offering broader context. Nothing confirmed yet.
they won't have to tbh.
sales aren't going to be affected and people will either get used to it or go away.
there's fans and then there's assholes. anyone who would threaten the devs falls in the asshole territory and should be labeled accordingly.
for people who want to protest legitly, you can just not buy the game since that's how these companies feel people's disagreements.

The cancellation might be connected to the Dexit situation (either through threats or not wanting to deal with people confronting them about Dexit).
At the same time, the cancellation could be for a completely different and unrelated reason. Without any sources for the full reasoning, this is kind of nothing-news

DExit Protests?
I dont even have the words for how stupid this sounds
People complain everywhere and nobody cancels though.
This cancellation is more than just fear from complains.. maybe the morale rumor is actually true
I see...seems a bit extreme to do that, but did fans get THAT upset? How many pokèmons are left in the game?
While some learned via the Famitsu article, the extent of what was found out via leaks got spread via 2ch anons. Who started lashing out.
For some reason Tom also felt like mentioning the KyoAni arson and the Square Enix death threat guy. I'm guessing the threat of that his though process for the event cancellation?
User Banned (1 week): Inflammatory accusations, antagonising members over a series of posts
Oh yes death threat defenders coming in full force already
Is there any proof anywhere that it's in any way related to the cuts?
To most of these people it's exactly the same thing.
Lump genuine criticism and death threats together so you can label it all toxic and prove yourself to be morally superior to GaMeRs™

What the hell is with the takes some people have? It's crazy that you even have to say this.
I don't see how it connects to dexit and threats? The latter are never mentioned.

I remember hearing Japanese fans were more startled by Dexit. Western audiences had like 6 months to digest it, but they only just found out from the leaks.
We had time to be sad (in June) and now it's even worse because of how many were cut. They just got both bad news back to back

Keep in mind that they did not officially announce the plan to cut Pokemon to the Japanese audience.
You can't critique something ever again? Should Square just make FFXV like games forever to spite people?
Christ, you have lost the plot. Not agreeing with your post to cut even more Pokémon in the next games = death threat defenders. What the fuck?
To be more specific, they've selected a roster of old Pokemon to return, which can be transferred. However, it's not possible to transfer Pokemon that cannot be caught in the game, unlike previous games which allowed all previous Pokemon to be brought forward
Ooooh, that's almost back to Gen1!? Ok, I get the anger. Thanks!
Speaking as someone extremely bummed by the decision: it's not about what's left (which is a lot), it's about what's missing, how it affects the breadth of options in multiplayer, systems such as breeding, and post-game content like battle facilities. The change impacts the games negatively beyond "you can't transfer you 'mons from previous games".
