And he was right. Most of those 100 new Pokemon were shitmons that added nothing to the game except for making the primary goal of completing the Pokedex even more of a pain in the ass. We all knew it, we just didn't know how to say it.
When GO came around and only had Kanto's 151, you know what people immediately said? >God I hope they don't add anything past that
Because they could finally articulate how much they do not care for Pokemon past 151. They add nothing practical and are objectively made with merchandising in mind, unlike the original 151 who were made with being actual game monsters in mind because GameFreak was not banking on Pokemon becoming a smash hit multimedia franchise success when they were first developing Red and Green.
>except for making the primary goal of completing the Pokedex even more of a pain in the ass
completing the Pokedex was never the primary goal, it was a tertiary goal at best. gotta catch em all was just a western marketing gimmick.
Nope, it's the sole reason your journey even starts in Gen 1. You only HAPPENED to tackle the Pokemon League because npcs kept nudging you in that direction, and then once they stopped doing that you had to do so anyway to keep progressing through Kanto due to HMs, same with how you just so happen to tackle Team Rocket and dismantle them, because they're in the way of your journey to fill out the Pokedex.
>When GO came around and only had Kanto's 151, you know what people immediately said? >>God I hope they don't add anything past that
wow, the ten people that said that have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that every single person wants there to be 20 pokemon total even though a significantly higher number of people wanted more pokemon to be added from the get-go and the lack of updates is one of the reason go lost so much of its launch playerbase
but hey man, you said it's what people said, so it has to be true
Are you a PKMN maniac, /vp/?

Archaic gem

Wrong. You read the email in the lab describing the Pokemon league and decide to set out on your journey before you're even given the Pokedex.
