can't say i really have cared about any games since being disappointed by gen 4 (hg/ss was good though) who really cares though who the fuck plays the game not to use new pokemon
this is not to say gamefreak's reasoning isnt utter dogshit, but if anything i prefer a smaller dex as they really would pad out certain ways of getting pokemon (gen 4 safari zone was ridiculous) as someone who likes to catch all available pokemon knowing im not going to have to jump through a trillion hoops to do so.
that being said im not buying this game
also holy shit -eit is already as used as -gate, and while it was clever maybe the first few times it is now the laziest way to title anything
