It's not limiting the roster for the sake of doing so. There's a reason for the plot to do such thing. And there's not a reason why it should be rejected, unless change terrifies you.
The game would still be Pokemon, but eh. You're the expert, I find Pokemon very boring aside of Colosseum.
EDIT: I think I found where the problem lies. It's because I replied to you about the canonical thing, just offering a solution to the disappearing Pokemons. I didn't mean to this game to be a canonical entry (just that canonically you could make pokemon disappears); so you were trying to discuss it from the canonically point of view. |
I find Colleseum one of the worst spin offs in the series.
If all you want is a dark plot, that's another thing. There can be a Pokemon game where permadeath is a real an signifigant threat. You can have a massive horrific event where many Pokemon die. It's happened before, and it can be visited once again. I get the want for a "darker" plot. But the extinction of half the species doesn't make sense, even from a plot point of view. What about other trainers who own those extinct Pokemon, but weren't near what ever killed them? What about breeders? Again, if all you want is a limited roster, there's no reason to have the death of those Pokemon species to be that reason.
The player is from a remote island country with limited assortment of Pokemon. Done. Limited roster with no betrayal of the franchise. But then it would be like literally every Pokemon game ever.
