"The two games per generation doesn’t work anymore."

Something has grown increasingly unnerving to me as I played through USUM with my sister. Between the two gens, there were little to no differences or reason to get both games. The split games served no purpose to us other than me shitting out Alolan Vulpix to everyone within a 5 mile radius.As I’m watching footage of SwSh, the same problem is happening. The different versions amount to this: A handful of pokemon for each gen and the gen’s respective legendary. There’s no story alteration anymore. At least in ORAS, the game changed the Team’s motives and flipped their roles. Now, it amounts to nothing. The only changes are the legendaries.So, what’s the point in selling two of the same game? The obvious answer is money, but I believe the fanbase has become so used to the two game formula that we’re unwilling to see how backwards it truly is. Why should we pay for that $90 game pack when we’d just be buying the same game? Why not let us have one full game?Perhaps I’m missing something here, but I see no point in the two game formula the more I think about it. What are your thoughts?EDIT: Thank you to those who have shared your thoughts so far! I’m going to give my honest opinion on as many as I can in the short time I have!Why complain now? Well, I haven’t been in the series as devoutly as most of you have. I was already concerned with the tactic around Sun and Moon which was my second game in the franchise! With the newest controversy, I’ve been thinking about what could make the games better in the future, and this feature seemed like something that could be worked around.Version exclusives. They’re cool and all, but the era for those has come to an end. In a time without large internet spaces, maybe this would still be useful. Now, the exclusives can be gained ridiculously easy. Trading can be encouraged without this, such as trading for shinies or that certain pokemon you’ve been looking for (whether it be stats or type)Other games weren’t as varied. I cherry picked ORAS on accident since that was a main game I’ve played and my introduction to the franchise. Apologies. However, the point could still stand. If two games are released, it should still be an expectation to show some more variety since trading is now not the biggest problem. Save files, as many of you mentioned, are also no longer an issue since the switch has one per profile.Also, I’ve never personally bought both games. The reason I am more annoyed with it now is the fact that they’re advertising the games (SwSh) as a $90 bundle. Some people may believe they’re getting 2 games for the price of 1 and a half, but in actuality they’re getting the same game for a higher price and minimal extra features.Thank you for all of your worthwhile insight! via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/35kNhxX
