Would you be ok with Nintendo capping Pokémon at 1000
- Thread starter Typhon

nintendo has absolutely nothing to say about adding or removing pokemon.

That doesn't eliminate their models from the game though which is the problem. They would have be removed completely.
They will if the game takes too long to make or becomes prohibitively expensive.
I'm fine with how 6 and 7 did it. Push the new mons, but have the old favorites on standby.
They pushed gen 5 only and wound up with the worst designs of the series and only had those to standby.
they had 800+ models on the 3ds, what makes you think the switch can't handle way more than that.

Storage will never be the problem. It's the amount of work involved . And games are more complicated graphically. Even at Nintendo's glacial pace of advancement that will become an issue too.
No. What's with some people's obsession with cutting off or cutting out Pokémon? Who does it hurt to keep adding more?
Nope, BW2 is where the best balnce lies while gen six and seven gens have huge bias towards gen one pokemon, having more pokemon in the region than new ones.
What, exactly, is extensive about using models that already exist for the express purpose of not needing to make new ones for a long time?
They've future proofed the 3D Models and are now on stronger hardware, if anything, they have even more room to play with character models now than they did back on the 3DS.
Never
Why do y'all want to stop the Pokémon train man
"Remove some Pokémon"
"Stop at 1000"
This train ain't stopping you chumps

Crazy that it's been 7 years since BW2. The last truly excellent Pokémon game IMO.
It really isn't that different.Nope, BW2 is where the best balnce lies while gen six and seven gens have huge bias towards gen one pokemon, having more pokemon in the region than new ones.
Did I play a different Gen 6 and 7 because I'm pretty sure the opposite of this happened.

I just select a nice round number to make my point. But they will hit a roadblock eventually in terms of what they can do with money, time and manpower.
It's really stupid. It's like if they encounter any Pokemon they didn't grow up with they're gonna dead ass cry.
I had a whole team of new mons in both games. Meanwhile, I saw a lot of old favorites.
I don't think many here would complain about a Pokemon Snap quest line (not that weak shit that was in SM).
it doesn't have to involve your pokemon, but just involve them in a meaningful way. the Mantine Surf was a pretty cool idea, I think. too bad GF being GF won't bring that shit back
Its never been bloated since only a portion of existing Pokemon are in each region. I'd find it very hard to look forward to future pokemon games without new additions, they're the main thing to be excited about in a new generation.

This is about technical limitations not nostalgia, I have favorites from all gens.
New game, new Pokemon. That's what keeps it interesting.
They don't need to commit to supporting every single Pokemon every single gen though. Each new generation it's fine if only certain Pokemon make it in. As long as they rotate them and keep a nice balance of new and old.

I hope people realize GF does cut Pokemon from games, as in, they don't make every single one of them available in a game. Just look at Glameow's availability for an extreme example of a Pokemon that barely exists in the wild. I don't know how many Pokemon exactly were available to catch in USUM, but it certainly wasn't 800.
So in practice, GF already does avoid bloating games with lots of Pokemon. Now, if what you're asking for is GF to excommunicate certain mons from the realm of canon, that's not going to happen.

the pokemon have never been the part that takes the most amount of time. and it's also the part that's most easily outsourcable. this is a ridiculous point
limitations that won't exists
No. If anything, we should have 100+ new Pokemon per gen again instead of 80'ish.
Maybe they want to (not so)secretly kill off this franchise.
Please, tell me how? Because BW2 has 151 gen five pokemon while every other gen is around 30-40 pokemon. A varied amount of pokemon, but gen five still has the spotlight on them. A huge difference when compared to gen six where while more varied the new pokemon are harder to find, and also have less when conpared to another gen. Next your gonna tell me Johto didn't also had a Kanto bias, and all the johto pokemon were easily findable...
So in 20 years they've created 800. In another 20 there'll probably be less than double. I can't even imagine the series in 20 years. I'm sure they'll figure something out, probably just slow down the amount of new Pokemon without necessarily capping it. I just hope they go back to longer periods for a generation to exist and cut out the "third game" bullshit of making people buy a new game for the same game + additional content.
Technical limitations that you're literally making up.
The fucking 3DS could handle 800+. Do you really think that the Switch can't handle 1001? Or even 2000 or more?
Exctinct pokemon are already in the game. You revive them from fossils.

Technical was the wrong word, should have said logistical. Money time manpower
But we have new species going extinct every year. Didn't some kind of snail just went extinct yesterday?
They need to bloat the games more tbh.
They could benefit so much from more variety in enemy teams and the ability to get any of my favorites without trading or having to own multiple games across different hardware.
