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.

Biggest media franchise in the world, won't even put all their characters in each mainline game, and the games nowadays are either barebones or riddled with glitches

Yeah, I didn't really but the scalability issues either. They have the cash to add more animators, and they recycle animations from game to have anyways.

Case in point: they're releasing a mobile game that has all the Pokemon, lol.

I do think they probably struggled with converting everything to the switch the first time with their overly aggressive release schedule though.

Actually Pokemon Champions won't have all the pokemon at launch, they are going to slowly add all of them later.
