Pokemon General [SFW, No NSFW]

So, why are they adding the mons now instead of before? Was it due to time restraints, or them cutting out mons to sell later (I think it’s the former, though fear the latter being true to some degree)? I mean, it’s a full $60 game, so why do we need to pay for mons that where in the previous games when they were free in them at a reduced $40?

 
 
 

Well, then I suppose there might be a chance for some newer mons to get in, so that’s nice
 
@Meanlucario
 
Now I must correct you there, they aren’t charging for the pokemon, once the DLC come live, the games will get a free patch to support them, you’ll be able to bring them over from HOME
 
@Marx
 
Sky is definitely my favorite as well

@Littlecabbit  
OK than. So what are you paying for?

@Meanlucario  
And that’s why I’m not praising it when it’s a ‘feature’ all games prior had out of the box. Plus they kept saying they weren’t gonna do it and various reasons as to why not to lies on top of it.

@Meanlucario
 
The new landmasses, story-lines, and whatever else is added to the new areas

@Littlecabbit  
So you’re buying the postgame?

@Meanlucario
 
I’d say that depends on how much extra content gets added, but knowing gamefreak, it might not be a whole lot past the two new story-lines

@Littlecabbit  
So just more story-base DLC.

@Meanlucario
 
Time restraints obviously.
 
 
@Littlecabbit
 
Actually, the free patch is ALREADY available now.

@Jarkes  
I rather not buy something that was made due to mismanagement.

@Jarkes
 
 
Yeah, but that patch does nothing until HOME goes live

@Littlecabbit  
Very true.

…You know, y’all love to talk about how you’re not shitting on people who are excited for things, but y’all sure have a funny way of “not shitting on people”.

@Jarkes  
You mean looking at something and judging it base on past games and current availability (or lack of)?

@Jarkes
 
No one’s shitting on you or anyone else that likes the games, just Gamefreak for the most part

@Littlecabbit
 
Either way the cut Pokemon themselves are free. This isn’t early-2010’s Capcom we’re talking about here.

@Jarkes  
He’s just saying that the patch doesn’t mean much until Home is out, not that you have to pay for it, though having to pay for Home may be seen as paying for them depending on how you view them.

@Jarkes  
I rather that they had the time to not need to make an expansion in the first place, and fear this becoming a stable.

A Mystery Dungeon Remake?
 
More Content?
 
New maps?
 
New legendaries?
 
All the legendaries?
 

 
What did I told you guys? Be enthusiastic!

@Meanlucario
 
That’s definitely fair as well (Alex mentions in the replies that this still isn’t exactly ideal, just better than the kinds of things we would get before).

In the words of Falco Lombardi:
 
I guess I should be thankful.

@Jarkes  
Yeah. While I’m glad that they aren’t rushing an Ultra version, I’m also concern that they’ll start going the AAA route of rushing a game and promising to patch in content later, and I can’t imagine that going well for anyone directly involved in the games (making or buying).
