SwSh There are petitions about Gamefreak fixing the 'Galar Pokedex' thing

[Prince Enos]

Game freak lies to their own audience. They only care about non Pokemon titles now.

Given I am not interested in clickbait videos, what exactly is the 'proof' for them caring more about Town than Pokemon, and don't say 'Team 1 and Team 2'.

It's cause they say they're putting priority into Project Gear, which is a project that involves making games other than pokemon in order to build experience of the staff. So people think they don't care because GF isn't purely focused on pokemon.

I'll just leave this here.

Well if people want a reminder that the Japanese market is also reacting negatively and as people like to cynically point out, they are the ones who 'matter'.

Screenshot of the Japanese twitter annoucement about pre orders and reaction to it via the 'bring back national dex' crowed.

Yeah but the translations come off as jokey. Why would a japanese person use the english hashtag?

Translations are always off, and I have no idea how twitter works.....

Looks like they're also split

I guess it is just easier to use the same one as the English one to signify they are part of the movement.

But that's the weird part. They shouldn't be able to even read it.

English is pretty common in Japan.

English is pretty common in Japan.

I normally hear people have a hard time speaking English, let alone read it. Not to mention the dex isn't even called the dex in japan, rather zukan.

Why would reading it be harder? English is pretty common online.

There are many younger Japanese people who know some basic English. I've met a couple of Japanese girls during a trip that knew perfect English, so it's not unheard of. Probably those people used the "Bring Back" tag because it's popular enough and/or there isn't a Japanese equivalent.

There's also the fact that other languages are also using that same hashtag, like Spanish for example (sadly, it's as full with negativity as the English one, or worse).

The Italian community is... surprisingly chill about this whole topic. Most of them still look forward to the game, and ignore the whole Dex issue to focus on the graphics and Pokémon themselves. I suppose my half-Italian side is what is making me chill about that, too.

 

[Knightwolf09]

My word am I Italian? Honestly I wouldn't know how to feel if that were true XD

Now this is funny....Apparently Japanese fans are asking TPCi to reveal the full list of pokemon cut off before the beginning of preorders:

Japanese Pokemon Fans Demand To Know Which Pokemon Have Been Cut From Sword And Shield | NintendoSoup

Even funnier, from what I've understood, they didn't bother yet to officially announce in Japan that national dex, megas and z-moves have been cut from the games:

“Until now, your company still hasn’t officially announce to the Japanese market that Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, and some Pokemon are going to be cut from the games. I want to avoid the situation where an increasing number of users feel deceived as the day pre-orders begin approaches. I feel there are a lot of fans who are waiting for more information before deciding whether to purchase the games.”
