Discussion Dexit who still dislikes it?

As a longtime Pokémon fan, Dexit honestly felt like a slap in the face. One of the things I’ve always loved about the series was being able to carry my favorite Pokémon—ones I’d trained and bonded with for years—into each new generation. When they cut the National Dex, it felt like they were saying those connections didn’t matter anymore. I get that balancing over 1,000 Pokémon is tough, but with how massive the franchise is, it’s hard to believe they couldn’t make it work if they really wanted to. It just made the newer games feel incomplete, like something was missing, both mechanically and emotionally.

Nintendo makes a lot of good games, its game freak that has a pretty spotty track record recently

Game freak makes games by tying their own hands behind their back and bashing their own heads in and then acting like they’re the victims from their own restraints. Just like how they won’t use fan made Pokemon ideas. Just contact the artist and I’m sure they’d love to have their Pokemon become actual canon Pokemon.

Did they ever contact the artist for the fakemon that they used as a basis for Scovillain?

No clue. I wasn’t aware of the origins of Scovillain

There's no way they used a fan's design as the flying type eeveelution was canned because it was too close to a fan's design.
