What, is that true? 

No way that can be true. Whatever happened to "we can't add more pokemon because modeling takes 901281349028347128903471238904713204 months"?

I don't care about what camp you are in; this shit should be unexceptable for everybody. I have not seen a turn around animation like that since Star Ocean 3. C class developers like Compile Heart, who make their games on 10% of the budget on Pokemon, have moved on from 6th gen animations like that!

What if Breath of the Wild looked liked that fuckin gif

The next Final Fantasy looked like that gif

It would be a global mauling 

Why the does this game have pop in? supposedly its very empty?

Reviewers have failed the buyers, but gamers wont, and I pray GameFreak is watching.

I don't mind them cutting it to 400 Poke'mon. What I do mind is that they threw out so many awesomely designed Poke'mon and kept so many redundant, and shitty designs. Why throw out Zubat, and keep the shitty knockoff one from later gens? Why keep the literal Sun and Moon Poke'mon, but throw out Dragonite? Why is such a boring, bland design as Wailord in, but Scizor is not?

It's as if Gamefreak has no clue what Poke'mon designs were popular, and which ones were useless filler.

Sup'

Dont know if anyone has mentioned this but presumably a couple of days ago data miners found that theres data of 435 pkmn as opposed to the 400 previously reported which includes  missing legendaries and starters.

Dont know if this is true but ummm... Cool.

A lot of those legendaries can fuck off. They are broken in multiplayer, and banned by Smogon. But nothing is going to stop hordes of Timmies from using a bunch of busted legendaries on a team in the main game. 

Those hordes of Timmies should be free to do so if they want. Banlist as well as nerfs exist to reign in broken mons without removing them from all aspects of the game.

No they shouldn't. Allowing Legendaries in Poke'mon matches is like allowing Akuma in SSF2 Turbo. It completely breaks the game. Imagine if you went to play Smash Ultimate online and everybody was using Master Hand. If they put those Legendaries into the game competitive players will have to sit around and wait for somebody that has enough honor to play by the Smogon ruleset. Granted, not all Legendaries are broken, but a lot of the Legendaries from the above list are Uber teir. A.K.A. they will wreck entire teams without taking much damage themselves. 

You said main game so I thought you meant through the story which effects no one else. By banlist I mean actually enforced by the game under ranked play as they've done before.

Ya'll probably dont care much for Stats but ... if you do, check out the stats for the starters's final evos:

Mod (Spoiler) Edit ~ CGI

Taken from Smogon, presumably from a datamine (so I cant confirm nor deny it)

But if they are accurate, well im really loving that distrubution. Shame these are all single-type mons tho.
