As I feared, all the critics are giving this game a pass.

Nice conspiracy theory... You said it deserves a 67 on another thread 

How did that work out? Your blind hate of gen 1 is common in a small group of the pokemon community and will not hurt this games imminent success.

I dont hate gen 1. But the fact is gen 1 is always over represented. Most of the mega pokemon in X/Y, were gen 1 mons. Game freak used a very nice “alolan form” concept, but only for gen 1 mons. Now gen 1 is getting a second remake, while sinnoh any at all yet.

But lets say okay, fine to another gen 1 remake. Now, why exclude pokemon like scizor or steelix, who is an evolution of a gen 1 mon? Or how about at least give us sevii islands? Nope.

Oras did this right by including mons like gallade, evo of kirlia, which only came into existence in gen 4.

Besides, most of my complaints for the game isnt even because its gen 1. Its removal of wild battles (which were in the originals, btw), held items and abilties (which were in firered/leafgreen), making it piss easy to get shinies (diminishing its novelty). Cant battle randoms anymore, and wonder trade has been removed too.

Never said the game wouldnt sell (of course it would sell, duh), but the fact remains, compared to recent pokemon games, this looks like a husk of one.

And to repeat, I dont hate gen 1. I hate the over representation of gen 1.

This is no conspiracy theory. The things that are removed/not in the game are confirmed to not be there.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
