"Releasing two separate versions with minimal differences is an outdated practice they should stop. Either make the versions quite different or make only one version"

This has always been something that has bugged me. Why can’t they either include both legendaries like they do in the sequel/remakes or make it so you can decide on which box legendary you want to capture in the story mode or in the post-game? You’re able to do that with a starter Pokémon, so why can’t they do the same with legendaries? With the games being $60 now, these cash grab techniques are probably not as effective as they used to and are just wasting time and resources. The only thing they serve to do is to get that occasional hardcore fan/collector to spend another $60 on the same game just with 5 version exclusive Pokémon lines and maybe a unique battle or two with a trainer you may or may not be able to rematch.Using my previous statements, it’d be as if they started releasing full price version exclusives based on the starter you want. You can’t pick any of the starters, the story forces you to get that one. Another absurd metaphor is if Fire emblem three houses was sold as 3 separate $60 games based on the faction you wanted to teach. Both of these would definitely cause a ton of backlash since they block off your freedom of choice behind $60. Just because it’s a traditional thing they do for each generation doesn’t mean that it’s okay for them to do now. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2DbWDAf
