    IF you believe Masuda, the reasoning for this cut is all the work it takes to convert the 3DS models to be a suitable standard for the Switch. That being said all 151 + Meltan and Melmetal are already upgraded to Switch models, so there would literally be no reason to not include them, as the...

    Look at Hong Kong, 1000s of incursions by China into Hong Kong daily life and there's some protest, but not really much changes. Then along comes a big issue that threatens the very meaning of Hong Kong and they have the biggest protests ever. Scale that down, for years we've had features...

    It was dying down until Masuda decided to double down. People were placated by the potential for patches, but when he poured cold water on that, and basically said get used to it, it's this way going forward from now on, I think that sparked it again.

    You'd like to express your excitement, many others would like to express their disappointment, isn't there room on the thread for both?

    Well yeah it's not exaggeration to say this is the biggest Pokemon scandal since 2002, it's bound to generate 1000s of reactions. This will be the main story going forward, which mons are in and which mons are out. Naive to think otherwise.

    USUM might go down in history as the last Pokemon games ever to allow you to "Catch Em All". We didn't know at the time, but they were the end of a 15 year era (2002 - 2017)

    Yeah they're not patching anything. This isn't a Sword/Shield/Switch specific thing, they've just chosen the Switch to be the first time implementing this and will carry on in this way going forward. They've gotten lazy, first the Battle Frontier was too much effort, then sequels were too much...

    Where is this confirmed? This seems like speculation.

    @Zeta @BlueWaves It seems as though non-Garlain Pokemon will simply be trapped in Home in stasis. It's one way transferable so once they come from Alola to Home, they won't be able to go back, and if they aren't in the Galar dex, they won't be able to go to SW/SH either. They will be trapped...

    As it's one way transferable it's actually cruel to put your Pokemon in Home. Let them stay in Alola where they can at least train and battle and come outside. Pokemon Home is effectively purgatory for non-galar mons.

    Gone through the video, at no point does he seem to say "The reason is not to make players wait and to bring the game before getting all Pokémon 100% ready" what time does he say that?

    I think you'll be able to challenge Grass/Fire/Water in any order, looking at the map. Also interestingly, after it was speculated that they had run out of names for gym badges (Psychic badge) that then led to Z Crystals taking their place, now although these are called Gym Badges, they don't...

    The lengths they go to make clear early on these games will have old Pokemon in, after the debacle of Gen 5. They made a point with the VC releases that they'd finally fixed their mistake from 2002 saying at last all games were compatible. I'm not saying they will read these forums and...

    Not quite true, GF are aware of backlash and do take steps occasionally. They do a lot of things to upset fans, but when fans get really enraged they do back down.

    Black and White allowed the 3 Event Shiny Legendary Dogs and Event Celebi in via an alternative route before the rest of the non-Unova lot can come in. Similar to how Mew cant be transferred from GO, but opposite.

    In the Demo what happens if a Starter Pokemon (all set at Lv 50) levels up? Did they scrub the evolutions?

    Probably Lass Riley uses a new water type we've not seen yet. In LGPE if you hack in a Pokemon not in the 151, it will appear as a Marowak, albeit the typing remains the same. So hack in a Greninja, and up pops a Marowak, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, still Super Effective. EDIT Or that ^

    What would be the benefit of programming them in but not allowing them? It means GF would still put in the work, but players wouldn't benefit, so everyone's angry.
