| The disconnect between Game Freak and the Pokémon fanbase is clear Posted: 04 Nov 2019 05:39 AM PST We all know that the National Dex situation is a very touchy subject right now, especially with the leaks revealing there is only 400 Pokémon in the game alltogether, however, looking at the whole thing, this, for a lot of people, is the straw that broke the Camel's back, but it's just one of many complaints that Game Freak have ignored. First of all, setting aside that nobody really likes or would benefit from the National Dex being cut whatsoever, it's baffling how much is excluded, and also who is excluded. Some Pokémon that make logical sense, like Lillipup, which is based on, and even named after in Japan, the Yorkshire Terrier, aren't in the game, despite being based on a British Dog. But this is where the most apparent ignorance lies. Back in 2016, there was a poll in Japan to see what fan's favourite Pokémon were. Out of the top 100, only 23 Pokémon were included in Sw/Sh. Another addition that seems to go against fan wishes is the 'always on EXP Share' feature. The EXP Share has now, for six years, been complained about due to it being too good, basically broken. Many fans often turn it off until post game grinding, or don't even use it at all. However, despite this, Game Freak decided to make it baked in to Sw/Sh with supposedly no way of turning it off. An often talked about point of Game Freak not listening to their fans whatsoever is the Battle Frontier. Junichi Masuda has famously said that the team didn't include a Battle Frontier in the Hoenn remakes because 'fans wouldn't be interested in it' and that 'most people today prefer phone games' so 'games that are challenging aren't interesting to people anymore'. This, ofcourse, made many people angry, logically. As not only is it removing a feature that was entirely optional that many people liked, but also removing a feature for an absolutely baffling reason. Given that Sw/Sh is on the Switch, and a lot of big Nintendo (And even some non Nintendo) games have made specific changes to their games specifically to appeal to fans, such as Smash bringing back every character and almost every stage, or Mario Odyssey being the 3D experience Mario fans have waited almost 10 years for, or Breath of the Wild being a new spin on the classic Zelda format while taking well recieved concepts from super popular games like Minecraft, Skyrim and Terraria, it's utterly bizarre why Game Freak's choices seem to benefit very few people in terms of game design.

| We deserve better. Pokémon deserves better. Posted: 04 Nov 2019 05:13 AM PST I feel like this really just needed to be put out. So as you should all know sword and shield will only have 400 Pokémon. Not the 600+ that was faked by a 4chan troll. We lost 60% of our Pokémon. Missing 50% of the amount of Pokémon the last game gave us. There's a 60% chance your favorite Pokémon is not even in the game. Do you like starters? Too bad. There are no starters from any gen returning except charizard. Salamance? Sandshrew? Ampharos? GARCHOMP? Nope. And the list goes on. They did not account for favorites. I lost mine and a few others that I really love. Lilligant, spinda and lopunny. You know what other game came close to 400 Pokémon? Ruby and sapphire at 386 Pokémon released all the way back in 2003. As far as getting more content to make up, according to the leaker the gameplay is average length as any other Pokémon game. The endgame took 2 hours and then it was just a battle tower after. Basically standard of any Pokémon game. We are loosing so much that I really don't think we are gaining much from. Yet we are getting charged 50% more then any other game despite getting less. It really feels like we are going backwards in a big way, and gamefreak just doesn't care, because they know people will buy it regardless. It really makes sense why they kept so quiet to get people to buy before they realize just how many they cut. I'm just really disappointed and think we deserve better than this. Pokémon is one of the most successful ips in the world. This is not a indie company that doesn't have the resources to give us both our Pokémon and our content simultaneously. [link] [comments] |
| Leaker is currently saying what mons are and aren't in the game on 4chan (spoilers) Posted: 04 Nov 2019 03:03 AM PST The leaker is currently saying what mons are and what aren't in the game. He's still going so I'll update as he posts. He also mentions that some of these may be out of order as to their actual placement in the Dex. 1-3 Grookey Line 4 to 6 scorbunny line 7 to 9 sobble line 10 to 12 blipbug line 13 to 15 caterpie line 16 to 18 grubbin line 19 to 20 hoothoot line 21 to 23 rookidee line 24 to 25 skwovet line 26 to 28 pidove line 29 to 30 nickit line 31 to 33 (galar) zigzagoon line 34 to 35 wooloo line 36 to 38 lotad line 39 to 41 seedot line 42 to 43 chewtle line 44 to 45 purrloin line 46 to 47 yamper line 48 to 49 bunnelby line 50 to 51 minccino line 52 to 54 bounsweet line 55 to 58 oddish line 59 to 61 budew line 62 to 63 wingull line 64 to 65 joltik line 66 to 67 electrike line 68 to 69 vulpix line 70 to 71 arcanine line 72 to 74 vanilluxe line 75 to 77 swinub line 78 delibird 79 to 81 snorunt line 82 to 83 baltoy line 84 to 85 mudbray line 86 to 87 dwebble line 88 to 89 golett line 90 to 91 munna line 92 to 93 natu line 94 to 95 stufful line 96 to 97 snover line 98 to 99 krabby line 100 to 101 wooper line 102 to 103 corphish line 104 to 106 nincada line 107 to 110 tyrogue line 111 to 112 pancham line 113 to 115 klink line 116 to 117 combee line 118 to 119 bronzor line 120 to 123 ralts line 124 to 125 drifloon line 126 to 127 gossifleur line 128 to 129 cherubi line 130 to 131 stunky line 132 to 134 tympole line 135 to 137 duskull line 138 to 140 machop line 141 to 143 gastly line 144 to 145 magikarp line 146 to 147 seaking line 148 to 149 octillery line 150 to 151 shellder line 152 to 153 feebas line 154 basculin 155 wishiwashi 156 pyukumuku 157 to 158 trubbish line 159 to 160 sizzlipede line 161 to 163 rolycoly line 164 to 165 diglett line 166 to 167 drilbur line 168 to 170 roggenrola line 171 to 173 timburr line 174 to 175 woobat line 176 to 177 noibat line 178 to 179 onix line 180 to 181 arrokuda line 182 to 183 (galar) meowth line 184 persian 185 to 186 milcery line 187 to 188 cutiefly line 189 to 190 ferroseed line 191 to 192 pumpkaboo line 193 to 195 pikachu line 196 to 204 eevee line (no new) 205 applin 206 ?

| Returning mons in the Galar Dex visualised Posted: 04 Nov 2019 04:00 AM PST Credit to an anon on 4chan: https://i.imgur.com/gT0F4A8.png EDIT: Also, post-game dex has been disproven by the SwSh leaker. Galar Dex should be 400 mons only EDIT2: Talonflame line is in. Anon seems to have missed that line. [link] [comments] |
| Can we appreciate how good were Heart Gold and Soul Silver remakes? Posted: 04 Nov 2019 03:02 AM PST It had two regions (Johto and Kanto). Had ton of great features like Battle Tower, Pokeathlon and customizable Safari Zone. The new gym redesings were awesome. Bug catching contest was great. Pokewalker was great too, Pokemon followed you (each had it's own sprite even the shiny variants!). It had Pokemon from Gen 1 to Gen 4 so 493 Pokemon to catch and evolve. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Nov 2019 04:08 AM PST All my favorites were cut, along with I'm sure many others. Congrats to the luckier people though! Honestly, while I made Thanos jokes and was angry about Dexit, I didn't actually think half would be cut but it was worse than we thought. It doesn't appear there was any significant reason for the sacrifice but over half are gone [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Nov 2019 04:29 AM PST Let me preface this by saying: Get your "gAmErZ RiSe Up" out of your system. Consumers are allowed to criticize companies for underhanded business tactics. GF knew that they were cutting the dex by over half and refused to address how many mons would be cut while still booking pre-orders. They have been tight-lipped not because they want to "spoil" the new pokemon but because they knew that cutting the dex this much would be PR suicide. So are people going to hold them accountable, or are people just going to continue giving the company a pass? It seems to me that we should be letting other purchasers know just how much content has been cut from the game. It's unconscionable that GF has tried to keep this under wraps to prevent a hemorrhaging of sales. [link] [comments] |
| If you feel cheated or wrong, or otherwise dislike the direction Pokémon has taken... Posted: 04 Nov 2019 06:21 AM PST Don't buy the game. You're consumers, vote with your wallet. You're entitled to like or dislike a company's product and nothing anyone says or posts in Reddit wil speak louder than the sales you provide or withhold. To Gamefreak, like any other company, nothing else matters. If you look forward to Pokémon Sword & Shield, buy a copy, maybe two. If you don't, then don't buy the game and spend your time and energy on games you feel are more deserving of your support. At the end of the day, it's your choice and your right to like or dislike a product and it's nobody else's business. However you feel about Pokémon Sword & Shield, the only course of action that matters is what you do with your money. [link] [comments] |
| Multiple forms for new Galarian Variant (spoilers) Posted: 04 Nov 2019 07:44 AM PST |
| With all the hate on the cut of the Dex, we should not forget that we got over 100 curry recipes. Posted: 04 Nov 2019 06:44 AM PST Not to forget a nice curry dex to keep track of our curry skills. Thank you very much Gamefreak and Masuda-san. We would have no time to catch so many Pokemon anyway, since we obviously will complete the curry dex with all its curry variants. When a door closes, another opens. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Nov 2019 04:14 AM PST Gamefreak are you serious? That's less than HALF of all Pokemon. I expected at least 600. 2011 released 3ds has 900+ Pokemon yet the newest Nintendo home console only 400? That's embarrassing as hell for the biggest media franchise company. Such a shame because the new Pokemon designs are so awesome [link] [comments] |
| New regional evolution (Spoilers) Posted: 04 Nov 2019 03:53 AM PST |
| It's not about the small Pokedex Posted: 04 Nov 2019 04:46 AM PST I'm so tired of the damn fanboys here blindly defending GF and bashing anyone who has a problem with the games and decides not to get them. Stop acting like people's reasons for being upset are invalid. 400 Pokemon out of 900+ is nothing, but it's the reasoning behind it. GameFreak had stated they cut the National Dex in order to improve in other areas like animations. Where? As has been shown time and time again, battle animations hardly look any different than the 3DS games. The wild area looks empty and lifeless with 3DS-level visuals. According to the leaks there is basically no post-game, much like XY. This is a CONSOLE game. Tell me again how a 2019 console game can be justified cutting more than half the Pokemon while claiming it's to improve in other areas of the game, when those improvements are nonexistent. If you can honestly say that you don't care about the cut Pokemon, the crappy visuals and animations, the lack of a post-game, then by all means go ahead and enjoy the game. But stop trying to invalidate or bash anyone that is unhappy enough with those things to the point of not buying it. Get over yourselves. Edit: Also, I'm sure most of us aren't asking or expecting to have every single Pokemon roaming around the world. But just the option to be able to transfer them into the game would be nice especially considering how few we actually got. Edit edit: To clarify, the biggest issue for me is their claim that this was all to focus on improving other features, but that was clearly a lie given what we've seen of the animations and visuals, the wild area, and what has been leaked about the post-game or lackthereof.

| They're missing the point with Eevee Posted: 04 Nov 2019 09:35 AM PST With the leaks all but confirming there will be no new eeveelution in the upcoming games I'm starting to think the pokemon company doesn't understand why eevee was popular. I feel like Eevee was popular because it can evolve into multiple different pokemon and there's a possibility that we could get a new eeveelution with a new game. Now it seems like they're wanting to focus the attention on Eevee itself and not the evolution part of it. See Eevee getting it's own Z move in Gen 7 and a gigantamax form in the new games instead of new eeveelutions. I'm concerned that we'll never get another eeveelution at this point.

| So this is why GF decided to "slow the stream of information." Posted: 04 Nov 2019 05:59 AM PST They cut over half of the old pokemon, gave the games an average amount of content (plus ONLY a short postgame ep + battle tower, wtf), and the new designs are pretty...unorthodox to say the least. What really bugs me is the raise in price to $60 and the consistent lying by GF. Not only for their reasons to cut pokemon, but withholding info to "keep a sense of mystery" about the games? This is like EA saying they want their players to feel a "sense of pride and accomplishment." Why is everyone ok with this? How can people still belligerently defend GF after these kinds of tactics? I just don't get it. [link] [comments] |
| [SPOILERS] The Dex leaks make it clear that Sinnoh is coming. Posted: 04 Nov 2019 03:50 AM PST No Pokemon from Sinnoh got a new form. There are lots of Gen V and VI Pokemon in the final Dex, but it excludes a lot of Gen IV Pokemon, including fan favorites like Garchomp. There are also several iconic Gen 1 mons like Zubat and Geodude missing, which you'd find in Sinnoh (a bit of a stretch, but still...) Should this mean something? ...though, indeed, I'm worried that Game Freak will disappoint yet again. [link] [comments] |

It also seems like most Galar Pokemon have been leaked/released at this point. [link] [comments] |

| A certain Pokemon seen as an ornament, but can't be found on Galar dex. Posted: 04 Nov 2019 05:21 AM PST |
| From someone who is still excited for the games - I'm genuinely sorry for all of the cuts. Posted: 04 Nov 2019 06:25 AM PST I've been a fan of the series since the height of the craze and even now, Dexit doesn't much bother me. I like a lot of the new designs and I'm looking forward to using Pokemon I frankly never would have before. But I understand how much not having access to your favourites can be. I'm fairly fortunate - a lot of mine are in and some of the Gen 8 'mons have rapidly become favourites - but a lot of you aren't. I have to admit that for all I understand why they cut the 'dex that it was handled so poorly from a PR perspective that any chance of it being spun as anything other than a negative are gone. I can't say I'm not going to buy the games, because I am. I'm looking forward to them. But that doesn't mean I am not critical of how they handled their decisions, nor am I going to look down on anyone who decides not to after the reveal of only 400 returning 'mons. Have a good day, everyone. [link] [comments] |

No Bulbasaur line before it. THEY CUT VENUSAUR AND BLASTOISE BUT GAVE CHARIZARD ANOTHER FORM Edit: This is basically 100% confirmed now. Not being added in the post game. But, hey, neither are any of the other starters. No one even likes Crobat or Luxray, right? [link] [comments] |
