So, you're saying Pokemon Colosseum isn't a Pokemon game? No, no, wait, you're saying that objectively Pokemon Colosseum isn't a Pokemon game?


You can trade literally every Pokemon that existed at the time to Colosseum, so I don't know what point you're trying to make. Almost every Pokemon game has unobtainable Pokemon. The difference between them and what you're suggesting is that one, those Pokemon still exist in that universe, and two, those missing Pokemon can be traded over so you can still use your favorites eventually. Pokemon is the poster child for a typical Pokemon spin off.


So, it doesn't matter if those Pokemons are absent from the game itself as long as you can go and trade them?

What if "Pokemon Dark Days" feature a machine that can "clone" dead pokemon's DNA and import them into the game by trading them with your 3DS copy of...whatever Pokemon game you want to put here? It suddenly becomes Pokemon then? No, it suddenly becomes, objectively, a Pokemon game?

 

I'm sorry, but your idea of changing the core gameplay and still call it Pokemon is far less pokemon than my idea of just give it a setting which involves Pokemons dying. My opinion, though.
