Equating the development of Pokémon/Monster Hunter with the services offered on NSO as if somehow criticism of one is the same as criticism of the other is, well, lazy.
Issues with the stagnation in the mainline Pokémon series aside, Game Freak may not deserve to be called lazy, but in the same context Nintendo absolutely does deserve to be called both lazy and greedy. Both for how they have gone about the Expansion Pack pricing, and how they failed to let Wii and Wii U owners transfer their purchases in any meaningful way, while replacing Nintendo Network with an online service that is inferior in just about every way, and while charging a subscription fee for it when they didn’t before.
