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.

Filling the Pokedex, not the actual contents.

I agree gen V had good writing, it’s a shame they forgot how to do that immediately after (This is part of why I fear them returning to turn based, they have back slid before)

Sure turn based has merits, even if you have to dig to find them, but it’s boring to me.

Board games being turn based are a completely different story, when you play a board game you are playing with a person, you’re talking to them, watching their body language and communicating the whole time.

Turn based in a video game is staring at a screen waiting until you have something to do again. It feels like a relic of a different time, when it wasn’t technically feasible to have live action Pokemon battles like the one in the show.

As for turn based being a tool, if course it is, but the setting and surrounding media and lore keeps claiming Pokemon battles are exciting and fast passed. You know, the opposite of turn based.

I disagree, to me the corr of the mainline games is the Pokedex and region, the actual battles being turn based has always just been a negative to me.

In my opinion saying the turn based battles are critical to being mainline is like saying the saccrin and frankly bad writing is critical, sure it’s always been there but that just makes it a persistent problem not a feature.

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.

My only gripes with Pokemon Z/A is the lack of abilities and not being able to leave the city.

I’m also scared that since it’s a “Legends” game and not a mainline game we may go back to turn based.

Goat licker is a good one, for example “You canoe humping goat licker!”

Is calling op pathetic not implying their inferiority to you for discussing their feelings? If you didn’t want to be rude all you had to do was say nothing. But you chose to comment and belittle someone else’s harmless feelings.

“How dare you enjoy something” piss off you dick.

This has little to do with your sibling and EVERYTHING to do with your parents being arseholes.
