We’ve had DLC for a while now. Doesn’t really affect whether Game Freak does third versions or not. It’s gone past the point of being ok or not to just being tradition. And Japan is big on tradition.

Plus, DLC has proven to be controversial in the past, which makes it odd that people want more of it. Of the top of my head, I remember there being a big ruckus over SF x Tekken’s DLC.

They are a cash grab.

No more of a cash grab than Yellow, Crystal, Platinum, B2W2, Z…oh wait.

EHM! Mega Rayquaza?

A bit of a fact check, This is the 3rd game of Pokemon history as far as the handhelds go as far as versions that has been done in under a year. (Yellow, gen 2, and Crystal if I recall were barely a year a part.)

The lore of the games can be mixed (1 reason I am iffy of listening to Pokedexes) and people wanted the games to get dark….how funny that we are getting it in ways not wanted in some ways. Then again I’ll say that also it’s a bit sour seeing the Mega evolutions are getting blasted and treated as something really evil when they are better gameplay machanically for improving Pokemon of the past than Z-emergency moves.

Mainly that pokemon was becoming less innocent, more dark pokedex entries, etc. for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJBt75axQB8
I know this kinda thing has always been in pokemon, but Sun and Moon just kicked it up by a huge notch I could hardly stand it… the only possible saving grace would’ve been infinite love balls… but no… ?

I’ll just ask, what was it that really did it for you? The gameplay, the storyline, the interactivity, or something else?

Knowing that Pokemon is no longer safe for my child family members was the deciding factor in why I did not buy Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. I was a long time fan, but I have given up the series (this was the final straw after much struggling)
