Re: Soapbox: Attacking Pokémon Creator Game Freak Isn't Cool, But Biting Back Isn't The Answer

@Crockin and that’s fine, but it’s the way I’ve liked to play Pokemon for a while. Will the game sell well?

...duh, yeah. I’m not making some grand statement or anything, but I live on a budget and the changes aren’t ones I’m personally happy with so I’ll get a different Switch game to play while I try to survive the Holidays. That’s really all it is. People making death threats and throwing around hyperbole need to sit down. People also need to understand that some of the changes here will alienate some folk too, and that they’re allowed to have qualms with some of those changes, no matter how personal. No one should be attacking anyone over this though.

@Crockin I’ve had my Shiny Sandslash for over a decade...and I was very proud to get it. Not being able to use him is a blow and most of my other favorites were cut as well. I won’t begrudge those still interested in the game but it was enough to make me lose interest in the game myself. I grew attached to a lot of the mons I use, that’s intentional. And having to leave them behind isn’t something I want to do, so I won’t.

But if it doesn’t bother you or you’re excited for the game then go for it, hope you like the game.

I’d also like to posit something to the folks saying that if you haven’t played it then you can’t criticize it. We know the national Dex situation. We have the information on the pokemon that are in the game and the ones that aren’t and if someone’s favorite was left on the cutting room floor...take it from me, it can sting. Does it justify the venom I’ve seen thrown around? Of course not, but understand that some people not getting the product do have their reasons even if they haven’t played it.

@SpaceboyScreams in a constructive and positive way, yes, and sure enough there are people approaching from that angle, but the way I’ve seen some people acting has been downright childish.

I’ve made my personal decision to not buy the game, I’m using the money I was gonna use on Pokemon on either Atelier Ryza or Ring Fit Adventure and am just gonna leave it at that for now. Sword and Shield isn’t going to change at this point and I won’t try to scream at it to change itself.

@gaga64 respectfully disagree. He has a more scrappy, over the top aggressive fighting style than Ryu and Ken while still carrying a lot of fighting game mechanics with him, but implemented much differently making Terry a combo beast. He’s also the only SNK rep that...honestly makes sense to me as the first addition. Adding Metal Slug before Terry would be like adding Arle before Sonic with Sega, or Leon before Mega Man.
