Like I'm not against the talk that's been had over the necessities of announcing DLC or content right before a game has even been released ...

But let's not kid ourselves, there's a huge part of the discourse that hangs out on the premise of exceptionalism cuz this is Pokemon franchise we're talking here.

Where the f**k were y'all when every VG company made this practice a standard since much earlier in the previous generation ?!

Have y'all been blind about all those special deluxe gold editions sold an extra with season passes on top of it all during the last few years or you just wanted a way to vent an extra one because this is Nintendo we're talking here ?

The talking points given here are far from genuine in certain cases here.

From the top of my head.

- 5 years ago about Persona 5, one of my favorite games ever, which was once a Playstation exclusive, not having an upgrade path to Royal, on it's review thread:

Sadly, many posts simply don't exist anymore after the site and forums had 2 attacks, but some of my posts live in quotes.

- 1 year ago when Sony announced the PS5 Pro and it's ridiculous price, I even compare them to Apple levels of greedness and testing people stupidity to know if they can go head on fully discarding affordability, both on the reveal thread and Playstation thread:

- May 2025, about Ghost of Yotei price increase prediction for Brasil after Nintendo and Microsoft announced it, being right about it and being mad my most hyped game was ridiculously priced (R$ 400)

- August 2025, about the PS5 price going up:

I've always been here, I'm also always posting both in Portuguese and English on official announcements on youtube videos, facebook post, instagram and twitter when I still used those, a lot of times companies try to pull shit on me.

These examples you pulled up are far more valid than claiming that DLC counts toward the cost of the base game simply b/c it was revealed prior to launch. That’s Mars’s point when he asks where you were at when literally every other studio announced DLC for their game. Why no outrage thread when it was revealed that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 got paid DLC? Elden Ring: SotE? MarioKart 8 Deluxe: Booster Courses? It’s clear you are a Pokémon fan; why are you getting so upset? I don’t understand.
