To be honest, I expect there to be a fair amount of backlash around Legends unless they start revealing more features beyond new forms/evolutions. I honestly doubt that the average traditional player is going to like catching Pokemon multiple times, especially when most of them are already in BDSP. The game has a good concept, but execution makes a world of difference.As long as both nostalgia and innovation get catered to and we get releases like legends that are higher effort and test the borders of the franchise, it seems great! But had BDSP debuted on its own without legends I’d have some harsher thoughts.

I think they should have done more with Alpha Pokemon to spruce things up a bit the way the Orre games did. They seem like a minor feature.
I mean, didn’t they already do a lot of that in GO and Let's Go? I think "no trainers" part is mostly going to be flavour text as we've met some battle-able Pokémon and trainers till now.I honestly doubt that the average traditional player is going to like catching Pokemon multiple times, especially when most of them are already in BDSP.
These aren't exciting research tasks, and other than Alphas, the rest are just tweaked versions of what we got in SM, except with the AI not even having teams. I'm glad it's enough for you, but a single player game should make up for the lack of multiplayer.They've already revealed a lot? We've seen the research tasks, the pokemon interactions, quests, alphas, nobles, wardens, crafting, ride pokemon, glimpses of the plot... it's already lined up to be a really immersive game compared to the usual pokemon title.
Well it says research level 2.These aren't exciting research tasks, and other than Alphas, the rest are just tweaked versions of what we got in SM, except with 1vs1 battles only. I'm glad it's enough for you, though.
It's Nintendo, so no.Will pokemon games get a price cut (Let's go Games, Sword and Shield) on Christmas and/or Black Friday?
Casual players absolutely will try to catch everything. That has been the appeal of the franchise from the very start? It's also why GO is so popular.Nintendo/GF gives you 200 Pokeballs as pre-order bonus. The worst of all balls, most people use them only til they get access to the great balls. What was the Idea behind it, 50 Ultra balls would cost 60.000 nucks, 200 Pokeballs will only cost 20.000?
So even if you sell said Pokeballs you'll get 10.000 bucks, as pre-order bonus which can be helpful but it could be considered that the developers or publishers or who ever is in charge when it comes to cost reduction even tried saving money with something that wouldn't even cost them money
By the way, I'm not wanting to say that there aren't people which will really use all of them but I guess these are mostly those people that are going for completing the Pokedex (which would be the minority of the players I guess, since I can imagine that the general casual player won't bother with that).
Then this may be a subjective impression due to personal experience - I barely knew anyone at school or elsewhere who tried to complete the pokedex, I've only heard about people doing that in the internet so I considered it unusual. When it comes to pokeball types I usually use dusk balls, quick balls and rarely timer balls - ultra balls are just an addition since they're available at any shop once unlocked but less cost effective. But yeah, apparently I just grew up with rather lazy players, so - my badCasual players absolutely will try to catch everything. That has been the appeal of the franchise from the very start?

Personally, I have always used regular pokeballs more than anything- great and ultra only when I have to. Regular pokeballs just seemed more cost effective, especially when I could get a free premier ball with every purchase of ten.
Actually pretty sure that it's been mathematically proven that pokeballs are the better buy. Great ball's catch rate isn't worth the extra cost.
I suppose it could also be an age thing- I don't know about you, but when I was a kid first playing Pokemon, there was only 150 of them. XD And up through Gen 4, at least, it wasn't too overwhelming to keep trying to catch them all.Then this may be a subjective impression due to personal experience - I barely knew anyone at school or elsewhere who tried to complete the pokedex, I've only heard about people doing that in the internet so I considered it unusual.
