| BraLoD said: I wonder how can someone think the DLC should not count when it should clearly be part of the $60/70 game, they are not working on extra content for the game after it was released. |
The first day DLC content is mostly cosmetic (literally costumes for Pokémon), like most first day DLC. It's not like story content is being held behind a paywall. The story content is not complete and doesn't come out until as late as February, depending on when it is finished. Although I guess they could have easily just charged $5 for the cosmetic content and then $25 for the story DLC when it comes out and it wouldn't look as bad. That's what most companies do.
Again, we are talking about a franchise where Nintendo used to sell two copies of what were essentially the same game and a third copy that also was very similar for two decades (Red, Green/Blue, Yellow; Gold, Silver, Crystal; Ruby, Sapphire, Emarald; Diamond, Pearl, Platinum; etc.) This is relatively cheaper compared to that, for the completionists.
