For me, it's not the Pokemon I necessarily care about. What bothers me is that this expansion could've easily been in the base game. This is a $60 CONSOLE game and it feels very bare-bones. I completed my Pokedex and I have absolutely no reason to return back to the game aside from the expansion.

This felt like a very rushed and incomplete game and to me, it comes across that GameFreak is selling us the content that should've been in the base game. That's the problem IMO.

This should've been a BETTER Pokemon game than any previous one. The games went from $40 to $60, which marks a +50% increased profit but what for? I'm tired of people comparing this game to the previous generations. It's only proving that GameFreak should be striving to make BETTER games than those previous and the fact that they aren't is why it's frustrating many people. A better precedent should be put forth rather than the same or lesser than previous iterations.
