| Shiken said: There is no excuse making or blame shifting. Just a realistic observation based on something I noticed earlier today while playing. And as far as the price goes, it is up to the consumer to decide what is worth 60 bucks. Some argue Splatoon 2 could have been an expansion, and was not worth 60 bucks for example. As far as Pokemon goes I, and most people I know, are having as much fun as any other 60 dollar game. To us, it is worth it. To you, maybe not and that is ok. Just don't look down on people who do enjoy what the game has to offer. |
Your "real reason" is not only just your made up idea and nothing officially said from Game Freak, it's also contradictory to reasoning Game Freak gave which acknowledged the Switch's superior hardware and that they need to increase quality. "could this have been a massive oversight on console gamer's part?" Perhaps I misunderstood but this sounds like it's our fault for expecting a $60 Switch game to look like a $60 Switch game.
There is such a thing as objective value and standards, consumers can of course choose to buy products regardless of such in favor of personal preference, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. That Pokemon Sw/Sh has 435 Pokemon at $60 while Pokemon Su/Mo has 800 for $40 is real. That the game has textures and animations you'd commonly find on the N64 is truth. That the developers lied about their reasons behind cutting content is proven. You can buy the game despite it's issues and that's fine, I only look down on those who defend the game by denying such facts about it while insulting people.
