@Yas If they really enjoyed the game then they are free to share their opinion. But that would require to defend their argument's position with good reasoning and evidence, which for a game so flawed it's quite a challenge.
Voting should be informed voting, don't you think?

@TheFrenchiestFry Dracula's Curse had a very basic plot that you could revamp with little effort. Even so, they choose to do a series that mostly ignored the original game and where they spent more time talking than fighting. They forgot Grant Danasty but added a lot of useless original characters.
Also, I find rather ironic that someone like Ellis, which pushed so much Girl Power rhetoric into the show, got fired for such accusations. Karma at its finest.

@Tharsman Everyone who really cares about the series should be angry at them, the Pokédex is just the tip of the iceberg. I'm still waiting for the "higher quality animations" LOL

@Xansies R&S included the National Dex, it was just locked. Nevertheless, I could still transfer Johto pokémon from Colosseum, but without getting their Pokédex entries.
Sword & Shield removed about half of all pokémon. It's not just the Pokédex, they are not physically present in the game data, so we will NEVER get them (I doubt they'll ever release a patch).

@Tharsman So, as long the game sells well, we cannot criticize its faults? That's a rather silly statement, since there are tons of ugly games and movies that sell millions.
What do you care more about? The quality of the game or how much money enters Game Freak's wallet?
