buckle up

I will enjoy the game but be very cross if Breloom isn't in it and that'll probably be enough to not mess around with competitive like I usually do

Pokemon I think could disappear with the fewest complaints: Mantyke, Delibird, Spinda, the Starly line, Stantler, Volbeat, Illumise, Castform, Heatmor, Unown, Spoink and Grumpig, Solosis line, Elgyem line, and at least a half dozen Legendaries like the Lake trio and most of Gen 5's legends other than its cover Legends

All Pokemen all good; yes, even that one. I'm not fond of the Gen 3 lighting bug pair but they're part of the gen III ecosystem and hell, I gotta respect that.

Sidestepping the whole dex thing, I kind of surprised that folks can look at the desolate overworld, lovely textures, pop-in and stripped down move animations and be like "yeah this looks great!" Seeing the barren field filled with wingull lifelessly floating around really dampened the excitement I had for the game.

It's okay to be displeased with the direction the game is going without being frothing about it.

Some Pokémon really need an explanation from the developers. Heatran is one of them.

It is a cool and strong fire lizard with a metal exoskeleton.

I feel like lava lizards would be cooler if it was a line of lava lizards rather than a random Legendary.

Yeah I get the feeling that it was originally conceived as a regular Pokémon but halfway through development it was decided that it should be a Legendary instead. Some people didn't get the memo though.

Solosis line,

:catstare: Take that back right now

My personal, actual take on the national Pokedex issue is that, as someone who collects shiny Pokemon, I'm super disappointed at the prospect of not being able to see some of my favorite prizes on the Switch. To be honest this feeling has only grown over the past few days, and I'm honestly considering not even getting the game at this rate because of the sour taste this all has left in my mouth. No ill will towards anyone who decides the game is worth it anyway though, of course.
