@Heavyarms55 Companies and other organizations have every right to determine what goes and what does not go into their products. If you don't like the fact that they're not allowing certain things, then don't buy their product.
@Heavyarms55 Calling Let's Go a spin-off when it actually isn't. Nintendo and Game Freak have proven otherwise; so those who still insist that Let's Go is a spin-off is lying to himself at this point.
@TheDragonDAFan If you're complaining on not being able to see certain Pokémon in Let's Go, you have no right to be complacent with the old formula, as you actually can't control the rate of the random encounters. Worse, you'll have to deal with one at a time unlike Let's Go which did multiple.
Let's Go pushed the series forward more than some people would want to admit.
@Ralizah The scale of the Pokémon is your complaint? I guess you must not have been happy with Pokémon following you in previous games, they were never up to scale.
You can still have an element of surprise with Pokémon surrounding you. You see something you've never seen before? Walk towards it and try to catch it!
You didn't dispute the tediousness of random battles. My points stand.
@Ralizah No, they are outdated design that only impedes a person's progress when travelling and is also a needless obstacle to grinding as a player is forced to run around in circles to train Pokémon instead of simply running towards one.
Removing random battles is something Pokémon should've kept going forward.
@AlexSora89 Saying that Mew is behind a $50 paywall is like saying a Smash Bros. collector's coin costs $60 for coming with Smash Ultimate. The price would not have changed at all without Mew.
Do not be cynical and intellectually dishonest again.
@shadow-wolf Naw, the league loss and the subsequent reset to Alola basically negated everything Ash did in that region, turning his entire experience into filler. That is a terrible ending.
As Mass Effect 3 showed, an ending can single-handedly kill an otherwise good story. The Pokémon anime is now in its Andromeda phase with Sun/Moon.
EDIT: I've got plenty more to say, particularly I plan to refute those who defend Ash and the anime. Stay tuned.
@rushiosan You don't think removing random battles and changing the catching mechanics are risky? If anything, Gen 4 and 5 were among the safest generations.
@retro_player_22 Not sure why your comment was thumbed down. A lot of those would've been better choices than Incineroar. The Smash fanbase would've received Decidueye much better had he been picked.

Re: EA Has No Plans To Release Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order On The Switch

Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Revealed For Nintendo Switch, New Starters Shown
@thesilverbrick Let's Go tried a lot of new things, yet plenty of people whined about them.
Truth is, some Pokémon fans truly don't want change.

Re: Pokémon Sales Slump To All-Time Low In Japan, Despite Strong Worldwide Performance Of Let's Go
@Silly_G "Perhaps we're just sick to death of Kanto being rammed down our throats for the last 20 years."
It's been nearly 15 years since the last Gen 1 remake and 9 years since the last game with Kanto. Where is the "ramm[ing] down our throats" in that?
Re: Pokémon Sales Slump To All-Time Low In Japan, Despite Strong Worldwide Performance Of Let's Go

Then it's a mainline game. Why the denial, Liam?
