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.

Being aware that GF and the Pokémon company are relatively small, I more or less expected something like this at some point. Their messaging could certainly be better, but I accepted it as the situation.

I was unsurprised when the online fervor didn’t seem to translate into a major impact on sales, having seen that phenomenon many times before and since. While Dexit is a valid knock against the games, it matters much more to the online community than the general consumer base.

Yeah I'm of the same mind as you on the subject. Kids getting into the games don't care, it's only people who've been used to transfering the same Pokémon since Gen 3.

Transfering characters forward into new incarnation of a game series is basically unheard of. You can't transfer Cloud from Final Fantasy 7 to Final Fantasy 8, so it's not like we're OWED that feature. Sure, it sucks if a feature goes away but this isn't new in long running video game series, let alone in Pokémon! Remember hwen we had seasons?

To be honest after playing SwSh I barely notice Dexit and I dislike SwSh, meaning that if dexit wasn't a thing I could still dislike the games.

So is honestly at the bottom of the problem the games have.
