@AndreaF96 I’m not hating them. I’m just saying that complaining is rude. And annoying.

They need this for an open world Pokémon, as if that were going to happen.

A truly nostalgic Kanto remake needs the Links awakening, clay art diorama style.

@AndreaF96 complaining about complaining about complaining
The Pokémon ‘fan’ base always has to find something to complain about

@Wavey84 it takes place in the Detective Pikachu game universe and does a pretty good job of staying true to the ip.

But seriously? The Witcher?

So, you can’t use it in the other themes?

Super Mario Land as a Game Style please? It’d even be cool if the screen turned into a square, and it had the same colors and stuff as Super Mario Land. I’m all for DLC for this game (after all, they could add some more ‘extra game styles’).

@AndreaF96 but... they just said that they’re gonna put everyone else in later games. Yeah, these are stupid excuses, but that means that they’re probably working on something else, possibly even better.

These excuses are about as stupid as your reasons for being mad at GF. You can be upset, but stop protesting on social media and just deal with it.

@nintendoknife yeah, but when you say things like ‘Why do you defend Gamefreak’ it makes it sound like you are not accepting that some people actually don’t care and have a different opinion. You can have an opinion, but you don’t have to fight others about it.

@Luna_110 They just promised that future Pokémon games will include some of the Pokémon that don’t appear in SwSh, so I don’t see what these people are so mad about. We’ve had this debate several times on NintendoLife, but people still can’t shut up.

@nintendoknife “You can like Nintendo games and consoles without blindly accepting the bad things they do.”

And you can hate Nintendo games and consoles without ranting online like a 3 year old since you can’t get what you want.

@Ulysses You don’t see the toxicity in the community?

It’s a little late to say this, but
here comes the angry mob of ‘fans’!

Ah-Ha!
I told ya so!
Edit: about Pokémon being in future games.

@iLikeUrAttitude I meant done with that specific comment section.

Kids: What’s a Metroid?

Nintendo: Team Metroid Space Racing!

made in china

Cool. Very cool. But can we... have this in SwSh? Like the world tournament?

GF does that

comments be filled with “All the trainers, but not all the Pokémon”

sigh
The Pokémon community sucks.

Minecraft recently overtook Tetris as the best selling game in the world, with 176 million copies sold to Tetris’ 170 million.
Even if not in the fighters pass, if they release more DLC, or even a ‘sequel’, Steve from Minecraft most likely will be the first indie character.
Also Microsoft ip stuff and stuff yeah it’s pretty inevitable

Sigh...
Everyone is still arguing about the stupid Pokédex cut, aren’t they. People are still complaining about it, aren’t they...

So you don’t have to unlock course parts?!
YES!!!
IDK about you but I ‘suck’ at Mario.

Shoot, I was gonna preorder Pokémon Shield...

Oops! Sorry, you’ve run out of hearts! You can redeem diamonds for extra hearts. Purchase diamonds in the menu for 1.99 each.

@JellyPop oh yeah forgot about that.

Oh no... here we go again.
And again and again and again.
Please just stop. We don’t care if or why you are mad, especially since almost everyone is saying the same things. It’s okay to be upset, but dang, a Twitter protest? This is too over the top for a game of cute little creatures being enslaved by 11 year olds and forced to fight each other to the death over and over...

Banjo-Kazooie are raring to go!

If SwSh ends up near the bottom because of the god d~~m Pokédex cut, I swear!

Doesnt sound like people really want gen 4 remakes, then. But Let’s Go Johto?....
gets attacked for mentioning let’s go as a mainline game

Wow, Pikachu isn’t even top 20. Surprising. My votes would be cast to Raichu, Greninja, Wobbuffet, and Goomy.

@Heavyarms55 yeah I was just making fun of the people who get upset of the SwSh Pokédex cut. I am gonna buy shield, and try out the new Pokémon in it.

Okay I lied. But I have to make this point again. Don’t go acting like this is the last Pokémon game for the switch. And don’t act like GF doesn’t take into consideration what the fans want.They aren’t gonna cut Mewtwo or Greninja or fan favorites. It’s about as random as the Thanos snap. If or when we get the next Pokémon game, then we’ll probably get the rest of the dex. Then they can combine the two halves to make a whole. It’s plain simple. So don’t go crying to your mamas because you can’t get what you want no matter how much you whine. I wouldn’t be surprised is gens 4 or 2 got a lot cut in SwSh if they are gonna do remakes soon.

@AlphaElite beat me to it...

@Heavyarms55 @Galenmereth
The evolution of The Pokémon community:

2017: “USUM my foot, we want Pokémon Switch and Gen 8!”

2018: “A Kanto remake with no wild battles and Pokémon GO? We want Gen 8!”

2019: “Gen 8 but it doesn’t include gens 1-7?! How about you take your time GF!”

Look at me, back for a final time. You all seem very passionate in believing the national Pokédex cut is a very serious mistake. As for myself, I’m still gonna play it, since I stopped Pokémon bank after let’s go.

But seriously, can you stop whining about it, you little babies, just cuz you can’t get what you want. Feel free to believe the game is bad. That’s all I’m gonna say here. Adios!

Edit: Learn that you won’t always get what you want when you want it.

Questions I can’t find the answers to:
Why do we drive on parkways and park in driveways?
Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?
Why isn’t ‘phonetic’ spelt the way it sounds?
Why is abbreviation such a long word?
Why do we still care or bother to complain about how ‘we can’t catch the past 7 generations of Pokémon in gen 8’

How is this Pokédex cut a problem and why does it matter?

If you don’t like it, don’t buy the game. The level of toxicity the community has reached is stupid. It’s ok to be disappointed, but this is nothing to protest with #s about.

@iLikeUrAttitude well GF confirmed 1000 Pokémon in the national dex once SwSh releases. So yes, 200 Pokémon, which is significantly larger than the 70-80 Pokémon additions in the past game. It’s also a fact that 1000 is a lot of Pokémon. To compare, Sakurai from Smash Ultimate development has been overwhelmed by 80 characters in smash ultimate, which is literally the same game as Smash 4 but more and better, including the animations.

Was Let’s go also inexcusable for being different? SwSh is still gonna be a good game.

@iLikeUrAttitude
it isn’t inexcusable. They couldn’t release this game with the entire national dex because of the fact that ^see comment 249^

@DanTheSausage well apparently they are adding about 200 new ones.

GF has been busy the past years churning out Pokémon games every year, so they don’t have much time to spend rendering old Pokémon since they are making more new ones than ever before. This is their first Pokémon game on the switch that is “proper” main series, and they are testing out the possibility of open world raid battles. Also there are just too many Pokémon and too little time, and their deadline is for 2019 so they can hopefully continue the trend of a new game every year, or at least take a break so they can plan an even better game for 2021, hopefully with even more old Pokémon. After all, they can’t just copy paste from the last game, there were only 153 Pokémon. All I’m saying is that this isn’t the last switch game, so they will continue to add old Pokémon as they go along, hopefully being able to finally have all of the Pokémon in the dex on the switch.

Seriously, only the people who play with a full team of legendaries will be hugely affected

The evolution of The Pokémon community:

2017: “USUM my foot, we want Pokémon Switch and Gen 8!”
2018: “A Kanto remake with no wild battles and Pokémon GO? We want Gen 8!”
2019: “Gen 8 but it doesn’t include gens 1-7?! How about you take your time GF!”

Gamefreak in 2020: “Shut up you little bratty aholes and enjoy the darn game!”

If game freak hadn’t announced Pokémon HOME, not as many people would be mad.

@SilentHunter382 yes, but there will be more Pokémon on the switch and most likely more of the cut Pokémon will be featured

@BloodyMurder

Dynamax Band TM, means to getting bigger Pokémon and bigger muscles

I don’t think the money matter to GF, it’s about appealing to the fans with a more than 20 year old franchise frequently. A lot of people were pushing for this game back in 2017. If they hadn’t done USUM and Let’s go, then the Pokédex maybe wouldn’t have to have been cut. But people wanted games in 2017 and 2018, with Lets go needing the whole GF teams attention, shortening the dev time for gen 8. And with this trend of games every year, the fans expected a game in 2019. Which is what we have.

Do we even know how many Pokémon are being removed? What if it’s just some legendaries and the mythicals? Like 50 Pokémon?

Yes I know it’s not gonna be 50.
But the point is we don’t know who’s being cut. And whoever’s being cut will appear in the next remake/gen, if at the expense of others being cut. GF wouldn’t do any of this if they didn’t know what they were doing. It’s not being delayed for a reason. Probably because after it’s released fans are gonna be clamoring for gen 9 or gen 4 remakes, and will want it in 2020. Guaranteed.

@drewber2635 yes exactly. Fans would also probably be mad if the game were delayed, or if they hadn’t announced it at all because it ‘wasn’t’ ready yet.

Sakurai works his butt off to make a switch game with only 80 characters in it, and here we are complaining that our open world, brand new, finally the Pokémon game everyone wanted on the switch, doesn’t have 1000 Pokémon in it. Did you miss the part about the wild area? And how this is a brand new region with about 200 new Pokémon? Again I say, have you ever made a video game?

Are we still seriously whining about the Pokédex cut?

For the love of god people this isn’t the last Pokémon game on the switch. You asked for open world gen 8 for 2019, and here it is. Have you ever made a game before? A switch game? An open world switch game? Stop whining about the Pokédex cut!!!

Link looks like an elf. Well, I guess he is an elf.
The toy like graphics totally fit the top down classic Zelda style, and the perfect way to represent the old zeldas in 3D

Hahaha
I find it hilarious that a video game company is making toys in a world that most kids just waste time playing Mariokart...

Oh wait...

@ all the people who want SwSh Pokémon delayed
Remember after Let’s Go came out, the MOMENT lets go came out we were already like “Gen 8 switch 2019 or riot”?

Edit: not literally, of course. And ironically it’s only the ones who are complaining about the Pokédex cut
