Well.. you see...So uh... what was the exchange for the cuts if the amount of new Pokemon is on par with the last game and it's looking like there isn't an increase in content either
Wait, so there's no expanded dex? Just woke up a while ago and I'm on my way to work. Why are people saying the post game looks disappointing?
I was hoping for 550-600I'm going to get slammed for this, but I'm grateful for the lower Pokedex. 400 is still a lot, and 900 is just unmanageable.
Really super pumped for this game. Can't come soon enough!
It would be fine if every other Pokémon weren't completely cut from the game.I'm going to get slammed for this, but I'm grateful for the lower Pokedex. 400 is still a lot, and 900 is just unmanageable.

They also made the Wild Area, so at the very least they stepped up Pokémon without changing the formula (which is exactly what I wanted, SM wasn't great).
Still hoping there's more to the game that just hasn't been found out yet, Ohmori kept making the game feel massive in interviews and I don't want that to be lies.
Lol. Well I'm just gonna wait for the Sinnoh remakes and the second version of Sw/Sh. As I said in previous threads, I was hoping GF would win me back after the disappointing reveals, but it seems like that won't be the case. Still, plenty of great designs in this dex so that's good news for everyone!Dex is capped off at 400 with no mythicals and post-game is just another battle tower and a 2-hour episode kinda stuff
Budget doesn't just magically make the game better, they'd need to spend time using those resources, like hiring more staff which takes up more time in training and integration, which makes it unfeasible with their current schedule, and so on.405 strong Pokedex and lacking post game. That's kind of disappointing and begs the question that other than hitting deadlines, what was the reasoning? Because it certainly can't have been budget given how much money this game will make.
I mean, the completing the whole national dex thing is optional and you need other games to do it.I'm going to get slammed for this, but I'm grateful for the lower Pokedex. 400 is still a lot, and 900 is just unmanageable.

Yes, the whole dex is known.This. I wasn't expecting 900+, nor was I hoping for that. But 400 is pretty damn low all things considered. Is there a full list of all of the returning Pokemon yet?
Well, that's incredibly disappointing. So much for giving this a shot.Dex is capped off at 400 with no mythicals and post-game is just another battle tower and a 2-hour episode kinda stuff
Final list of new Pokémon (there may still be unknown Gigantamax forms though)

I've been very outspoken against Gamefreak and everything in the last few hours has made me feel justified. The complete lack of postgame, the shockingly small number of Pokémon in the Pokédex. None of these things are surprising ignorance you played Gen 6 and Gen 7 and followed their faults and issues. This sham of a game is just the logical conclusion of the direction of the last couple of generations. Also thank the gods that Joe Merrick is not posting in this thread. I've but grown incredibly tired of him patrolling every Pokémon thread for "misinformation" and hectoring anyone who dares say anything critical about these games or GamefreakDo the G-Max gyms and catch the box legendary. As far as battle facilities go there's just the battle tower and there doesn't appear to be any new routes.

I just don't understand why they spent so much time making the game seem bigger than usual when it doesn't seem to be anything special outside of main game additions like the Wild Area.
Hopefully that's because they've been rushing through the game for leaking purposes and have ignored Max Raid Battles in their entirety. It feels very BotW in that it's an open area where you just go do whatever you want, but it's not necessary at all. I sorta expect it all comes down to how players want to play the game.I find it concerning none of the leakers have commented much on the wild area. I'm worried it's mostly something you run through every once in awhile without anything meaningful to find/do there.
The reasoning is that they're happy for each game going forwards to have around 400 Pokémon in it, and no more.405 strong Pokedex and lacking post game. That's kind of disappointing and begs the question that other than hitting deadlines, what was the reasoning? Because it certainly can't have been budget given how much money this game will make.

I remember when people were worried that half the Pokémon were going to get cut and certain people saying don't worry. Well, here we are with 60% of the old Pokémon cut.I've been very outspoken against Gamefreak and everything in the last few hours has made me feel justified.

I'd be fine with 400 Pokemon regional Pokédex and limited rosters but only if there was also an additional 200 catchable in the post game.The reasoning is that they're happy for each game going forwards to have around 400 Pokémon in it, and no more.
It's a question of philosophy, not logistics.
How big of you to have a rant at someone who isn't even posting here.Also thank the gods that Joe Merrick is not posting in this thread. I've but grown incredibly tired of him patrolling every Pokémon thread for "misinformation" and hectoring anyone who dares say anything critical about these games or Gamefreak
Well, that's clearly not their goal here, so I'd make my peace with that if I were you.I'd be fine with 400 Pokemon regional Pokédex and limited rosters but only if there was also an additional 200 catchable in the post game.
You're absolutely right about time, which is probably why we'll probably get a new set of Galar games to flesh them out after Sinnoh. That gives them another year to work on the region, as much as it's an outdated practice imo. Or maybe they won't, and move on like they did with XY. I'm just hoping for more postgame than we know about right now...Of course budget doesn't make the game better, but budget is has a direct correlation with scope and quantity of content as well. That's why this feels like an issue of time more than anything.
So uh... what was the exchange for the cuts if the amount of new Pokemon is on par with the last game and it's looking like there isn't an increase in content either
