Re: Talking Point: Why Pokémon Sword & Shield's Expansion Pass Changes The Rules For The Series

The thing about this DLC is however you think about it, it puts Game Freak in a bad light, I think. Normally, after a game comes it, eg with Xenoblade 2, it takes a long while before the DLC arrives afterwards. It used scrapped ideas from the main game, and expanded on the meaty Original. Most of development took place after 2’a release.
Here, either game freak began developing this during the development of Sword and Shield, in which case this feels like an expansion on cut post game content (which SwSh is lacking), or they began developing this after SwSh’s release, in which case adding all of these 200+ Pokemon is clearly not as hard as they initially stated, and therefore having to pay more money to be able to catch them feels very greedy.
Overall, I’m not that impressed by all this.

This is awful to hear - I really hope they can pull themselves out of it.

I hate the idea that they think that the mario and Luigi series is on the decline due to the recent 3DS remakes. It was just the wrong games at the wrong time. I think a brand new switch one would actually sell very well

Finishing the last few chapters of astral chain. Completely loving it. The combat is top notch, haven't had this much fun in a while. Also loving the music too. And the plot, even though it is full of clichés, there are actually quite a few surprising turns that's making me really want to see what's gonna happen next. Would love a sequel!
