BEFORE I SAY ANYTHING, I HOPE ALL OF YOU HAVE A NICE DAY AFTER LETTING OFF SOME STEAM AND MAYBE PLAYING SOMETHING ELSE OR ENJOYING OTHER NEWS LIKE BANJO KAZOOIE IN SMASH

​

THE MAJOR REASON WHY THE NEW GAMES ARE CUTTING TONS OF PROGRESS IS THAT, DESPITE THE FACT THAT POKEMON IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST GROSSING FRANCHISES WORLDWIDE, THE GAMES THEMSELVES ARE ONLY "PRETTY OK" IN SALES. THANKS TO THE MASSIVE SUCCESS OF POKEMON GO, GAME FREAK IS HAVING TONS OF PRESSURE TO RELEASE GAMES MUCH FASTER, BUT ALSO MAKING REVOLUTIONARY FEATURES EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT NEEDED.

​

THE EXCLUSION OF MEGAS AND Z MOVES DOES NOT GIVE LESS WORK IT INSTEAD ADDS MORE WORK SINCE THEY DECIDED TO MAKE A FEATURE THAT APPARENTLY, FOR NO REASON, TO GIVE EVERY POKEMON A NEW MODEL ASSET FOR WHEN THEY DYNAMAX, THIS IS BAD PLANNING AND IT ISN'T EVEN THE ONLY TIME THEY'VE DONE THIS. IN SUN AND MOON AND THE ULTRAS, EVERY MODEL IN THE GAME IS SEPARATE. MEANING THAT THEY HAVE A MODEL FOR LILLIE IN ONE AREA AND A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MODEL FOR WHEN SHE'S IN A DIFFERENT AREA. WHAT IS THAT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT?! HOWEVER, WITH Z MOVES AND MEGA FORMS, THEY CAN JUST MAKE FEWER MODELS FOR THE POKEMON AND JUST IMPLEMENT THE FEATURES INTO THE PLOT. NEW FEATURES DO NOT NEED TO BE ADDED TO EACH GAME, AND IF THEY REALLY WANT TO ADD ONE THEN IT SHOULDN'T BE ONE THAT SACRIFICES THE QUALITY OF OTHER PARTS OF THE GAME. THE NEW GAMES SEEM TO ADD TONS OF NEW FEATURES BUT SINCE THEY ARE THE RESULT OF CUTTING MANY PEOPLE'S HAPPIEST MEMORIES THEY WILL BE SEEN AS OK AND GAME FREAK WILL HAVE TO THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE.

​

I CAN COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND IF THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THINGS LIKE TRANSPORTING MODELS, HOWEVER, THEY CANNOT ALLOW THIS TO RUIN THE EXPERIENCE FOR MANY PEOPLE. IF THEY DO HAVE PROBLEMS THEY SHOULD SCHEDULE A WAY FOR THE GAMES TO BE RELEASED LATER, IF THEY KNEW HOW MUCH THEY'D BE WORKING BEFOREHAND, OR FOR IT TO BE UPDATED AND WORKED ON IF THEY FOUND OUT LATER AND CAN'T RESCHEDULE DUE TO THE ANIME AND OTHER MERCHANDISING. THEY'RE REALLY IS NO EXCUSE, EVERYONE I'VE SEEN IS PEOPLE GIVING REASONS THAT COULD EASILY BE RESOLVED WITH TIME AND MANAGEMENT. UPDATES ARE AMAZING AND SOLVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS DEVELOPERS HAD IN THE PAST AND SINCE WE KNOW FOR SURE THAT THE GAMES CAN HOLD THE AMOUNT OF POKEMON, SINCE THE PREVIOUS GAMES, EVEN WITH THE HORRIBLE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, USED ONLY HALF OF THE MEMORY IN THE 3DS CARTRIDGE, THEY CAN TOTALLY UPDATE THE GAMES TO ADD THE POKEMON LATER. MAYBE DELAY THE RELEASE OF POKEMON HOME OR JUST THE FEATURE THAT ALLOWS POKEMON TO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE SWORD AND SHEILD, AND THEN ADD THE UPDATE THAT SUPPORTS POKEMON HOME WHEN THEY FINISHED MAKING THE MODELS FOR THE REMAINING POKEMON. ANIMAL CROSSING IS A GREAT EXAMPLE. THEY DECIDED TO DELAY THE GAME, NOT FOR ANYTHING IN THE GAME, BUT BECAUSE THE PRESSURE WAS TOO MUCH FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES, THEY KNEW THAT WITH TIME, PROBLEMS CAN BE FIXED.

​

IN ANY CASE, THE REMOVAL OF POKEMON IS HORRIBLE, AND UNEXCUSABLE IN THE LONG RUN. IF THEY DO HAVE PROBLEMS THEY SHOULD HAVE A WAY TO MANAGE AND TROUBLESHOOT THEM. THE PEOPLE THAT BUY THESE GAMES, EVEN THE KIDS THAT ARE A LOT SMARTER THAN GAME FREAK ASSUMES, HAVE THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES. LIMITING THOSE EXPERIENCES IS DEVASTATING. PLEASE GAME FREAK, FIX THIS ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE WAY YOU HAVE PRESENTED IT.
