This is the kind of stuff that happens when games don't go up in price.

Although Mario Odyssey is apparently doing the exact opposite where they sold a complete game and now I wish they hadn't so I can pay for more

Wait...so the direct wasn't about new stuff? It was just some more Pokemon?

At least you can still be traded the re-added Pokémon if you don’t want the DLC. That’s neat

At least it's an improvement from the Pokemon status quo of having to buy a totally separate full-priced re-release to get extra content :shrug:

The way they described those new zones, as big open areas where you can fully control the camera and go where you like and explore and find cool stuff, honestly sounds like what people were hoping Sword and Shield were going to be.

The claim of cut content is bullshit since they didn't even start development of the content until they completed the base game.

Literally all DLC is finished content that was maliciously cut out of the main game and put behind a paywall. I have a very good understanding of game development.

The old Pokemon aren't included in the DLC, they're coming in an update for everyone.

So it's even better because they aren't selling you the new old Pokemon they're just giving then out.

But that doesn't change the fact that any suggestion of Pokemon being added in later was met with "NO MORE EVER" and a screed about Mareep

Personal question, I know.

In a multitude of ways but when it comes to Into the Breach I usually have a very hard time with map control and keeping the grid powered. I can usually make it past the first island but barely, and on subsequent islands I either get killed or just take one too many hits to the buildings. I'm usually unable to kill off more than a handful of enemies, so on most maps I am constantly scrambling to mitigate damage, rather than being on the offensive.
