Aight…I see a lot of shit on Twitter mocking the people who were hoping that BDSP would implement shit from SM/SwSh like every other set of remakes did with the generations between their original release and the new versions…and I’m sorry, but I still think the whole thing is ridiculous. Game Freak knew they were gonna have to redo Gen 4 based on the precedent THEY set for multiple years, but then chose to focus on Legends: Arceus and apparently developing Gen 9 instead and outsourced the remakes to a company that had never handled a major piece of IP like Pokémon, and they…didn’t expect any pushback? From a fandom that has come to expect adherence to the formula that, again, THEY put in place and maintained for decades?? Like, Dexit is one thing, but now you’re denying us entire core aspects or popular mechanics from slightly different versions of the exact same storyline
Don’t get me wrong…my copy of Brilliant Diamond arrives on Friday and I’ll be playing it immediately with the intent to not put it down until I finished it. Just saying that mocking those of us who were (not unreasonably!) hoping for more is pretty shitty,
especially considering the fact that the game we’re getting reportedly isn’t even complete and will require a day 1 patch just to get started
