The Pokemon game that locked features and Pokemon behind paid DLC released alongside the game revitalized the franchise?
Fuck that. I’ve bought every Pokemon game since Red and every console to play them on, but it’ll be a cold day in hell before I give them more money when they’re just going to use to sue smaller developers and while letting fascists co-opt their music and imagery.
To be fair the “DLC” isn’t actually available until 2026, what they have released now is basically a pre-order, still scummy but not as bad as you’re implying. Edit:for clarity, they didn’t cut anything out of the game, they just have a pre-order for the DLC.
If before you’ve even finished a project you’ve already decided part of it won’t be included in the original project unless the user pays extra, that’s the definition of scummy.
It’s already available, has been for a week or so. I don’t think the Switch 2 version is different enough to really matter; obviously, if you’re buying it and have a Switch 2, you’re going to want the extra performance, but if you don’t have a Switch 2 or are otherwise acquiring it, might as well just get the Switch 1 version.
I don’t think a Switch 2 emulator will come out any time soon, but I do respect the hustle. I myself am probably only gonna get anything Switch/Switch 2 related from resellers and/or used.
PLA is definitely the better Legends game. PLZA is absurdly dialogue-heavy for a game that doesn’t have well-written dialogue, and they took out the damned Linking Cord, one of the best parts of PLA.
Also, there are scores of dialogue options, and the only ones that matter are your name and a handful of “are you ready to battle” ones; most have two options that mean exactly the same thing.

Isn’t that what all DLC is? The The expansion you can buy right now is basically just pre-ordering the DLC in 2026, like a season pass.
Every single person I know who bought it says it’s the best entry in the franchise in a decade, so… 🤷
I believe it, only because that’s a pretty low bar lol. I’ll play it when I can 🏴☠️🦜 it.

A decade ago was 2015 so that doesn’t say a whole lot.

I feel like arceus was waaay more dialog heavy? At least on the early game, I haven’t completed ZA yet.
