Okay, I’m gonna drop the “new friends, old friends” thing now, because I think it’s distracting you from hearing the important part.

Stop focusing on the Dex for a sec. Yeah that irritates me, but it’s not what I’m mad about.

This is what I’m pissed about:

GAMEFREAK IS BEING SHADY AS HELL AND IS TRYING TO SIPHON OUT MORE CASH FROM FANS USING SCUMMY BUSINESS PRACTICES.

They deliberately cut content from the game to sell for more money later. The Dex is just one example of it. They know people care about those Pokémon, and cut out a bunch of them to get more cash from people later.

This is horribly anti-consumer, and if people just let them slide, I can ABSOLUTELY see the worst case scenario happing in the future...

”Buy our new Pokémon game! 50 new Pokémon, and for just a dollar each, you can buy all your old favorites to play with.”

Pokémon micro transactions. *gags* I don’t want Pokémon to become THAT. And don’t think for a second it’s impossible. They are a corporation, and if you give them and inch, they will take a mile.

But that's what confuses me tho. I don't see anything getting cut. 

 "Cut" implies it was integral to the game. If this Isle & Tundra place was so important... it would have been mentioned during the course of the game up until now. And it hasn't. Like... there's been regionals and even a new legendary, potentially whole new pokemon... that are a few miles away and nobody in the area have even brought them up? 

 I kinda see this more as just heaping more "New" onto the pile so consumers don't get bored and wander away. Treating us like babies, which we kinda have to be when you don't give us much substance. 

Admittedly though, I have heard that the pokemon added into during the expansions... will also be added into the game. So, say if they let Blaziken in during the Isle of Armor, even if you don't buy it, you can ship one into your game to use. ...using Pokemon Home... which costs, like $5 dollars a month or something.

 Jeez, this is a mess. 

 Like, yes, would be better if they actually put it all together and payed attention to what they were doing, maybe sell it for $90 total instead of breadcrumbing us along for when they're ready. 

 But still confused.

Like, what they're adding now doesn't mean that what the game is, as it stands now, worthless. ...it is dragging out things and giving us more to pay for.Needless to say a good many of people aren't going to buy the Expansions, if not for reasons but because they either didn't hear that new stuff was coming out or just couldn't physically get around to actually buying it. Not every shmuck keeps uptodate, some just buy it when they pass it in the store. 

It's... not really a stable plan, if it was the goal.

 Stuff looks like Skyrim, is what gots me hyped. But that's concept art... which always looks better.

It's a mess. A whole mess of things, it really is.

$90 total

While it would be less suspect if they just put it all in the game and were upfront with the price for the full thing, I sincerely do not believe SwSh are a $90 quality game.

I mean for heaven’s sake, they still can’t even be bothered to make turning around animations for the characters. They still just spin in place with their walk cycles. On the SWITCH.
