I'm waiting for Flint's team to be datamined
And Candice and Volkners.
Like, it feels so weird that Pokemon fans are like this, considering when other games like say, Tales of Vesperia or a ffvi game gets remade, people arent bashing it for nothing nee being added. I saw something similar when oras was released and thry only had the battle tower. It just feels super bizzare

Hmm, let me put it a different way: With the other pokemon remakes they tended to add the Gimmick of the Gen, like battle frontier, Megas, etc. This one they advertised and been promoting it to be extremely faithful to the original games, with obvious updated tweaks like type changes, new music, and more. They didnt false advertise anything, they were up front with everything thus far, so I fail to understand the letdown for things they never even hinted to add.
I guess the difference is how past remakes were handled. From what I understand Tales of Vesperia and the various FF6 remakes are essentially ports with updated graphic/new art style. They not only weren't meant to change anything but there was also no precedence with previous game remakes that they were expected to for more.
That's where Pokemon is different. Previous remakes weren't just the same game but with better graphics and updated mechanics, they also added new content to expand upon what was already there (meanwhile big RPGs like Tales & FF are already pretty expansive in their world). FRLG added the Sevii Islands, HGSS expanded the roles and identity of many characters and made a much improved Kanto, ORAS was essentially a revision of the Gen III games since the Pokemon World had changed in such a major way with the recent games of the time. Even Let's Go added some new twists here and there so that it wasn't just Yellow Version but one version you get an Eevee and there's no Wild Battles.
However BDSP is the first remakes to, oddly enough, just be a remake with a few added mechanics that doesn't change much (or at most semi-add in the Platinum content... instead of just adding in the Platinum content). The concept of previous remakes was essentially current gen but a past region (Gen III but Kanto, Gen IV but Johto, Gen VI but Hoenn). BDSP not only didn't fulfill that expectation, but it went out of the way to try and REGRESS from that expectation. People wanted Gen VIII but Sinnoh (preferably Platinum's Sinnoh), instead they got 3D sprite recreations of the vanilla Sinnoh DS games. And that is very disappointing, doesn't matter if GF didn't promise it, and GF knew that.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised to find out that there were some serious vision conflicts going on amongst the BDSP staff.
Yeah, ILCA Vs Masuda. At least I'm hoping that at least ILCA wanted to make a better game, but these odd decisions reek of Masuda deciding to experiment on what GF essentially sees as a side game.
I always have a hard time depicting Fire as a "needed" type as it's one of my least used types in playthroughs.
Not a Fire Starter user, huh?
THE BATTLE ZONE IS FUCKING COVERED
Okay that's actually kind of funny.
