This has pretty much never been the case, even in Gen II. Communication with older games has always been at least practically necessary since Gen IV. Even if they brought back the national dex there would still be Pokemon you'd have to transfer in.

Add a snow weather condition so that overworld snow can stop being translated into obnoxious hail.

Raihan is technically a Dragon-type Leader, but his actual Gym battle is themed around Sandstorm.

I mean that's basically Raihan

How often do you encounter non-Water types when surfing or fishing? Besides, like, Dhelmise it may as well be a Water-type ball.

We do also have the Dive Ball, to be fair.

Or you could swoop in and get an easy capture on the weakened victor.

A bike is faster and more versatile. I'd prefer a bike to skates if we only get one.

Without a circle pad, the only way they'd bring back skates is with a toggle, and at that point you may as well just use a bike. Hope they incorporate the trick system into the new bike, though.

Sure, and that's why I think the pace of Pokemon game releases should be scaled back and no longer be annual, to give them time to produce quality congruent with their profits. But as long as they're pumping these games out every year, incremental progress is the best we can hope for.

Well yes, I agree that Sword and Shield was a bad game to be saying that about, but we have been getting some genuinely good improvements in animations and textures with Legends Arceus.

They made it very clear at the time that the intended tradeoff was in animations, textures, and other visual aspects of the game, not in the number of new Pokemon that would be made available.

Because the more Pokemon they design, the fewer old Pokemon they can put in, and it's clearly also a priority to them that people be able to use their old favorites (and "important" Pokemon like the Eevees, Lucario, etc.). They have to find a balance somewhere, and 65-90 is what they've landed...

Their desire is still clearly to have a majority of Pokemon available on a system and in main series games. Going back to 100+ new Pokemon per region would only exacerbate the problems Dexit was designed to resolve. I don't see the big deal, anyway. They've clearly shifted to an approach that...

Black and White are really what accelerated the inevitability that they would have to do something like this. We went from just under 500 Pokemon to well over 600. That's not something they'd ever want to do again.

The more Pokemon they introduce, the more Pokemon exist, and the more unwieldly and unmanageable the roster becomes. We're going to bump up against 1000 this gen, if not exceed it. It is in Game Freak's best interest to limit the amount of Pokemon introduced per generation, and they seem to have...

We will never have this again. It is not sustainable, and Game Freak has clearly realized it.

Please do not do this.

It is based on the Hummingbird Nazca Line...

The PSS was such a good system and idk why they got rid of it.
