The Pokemon game that locked features and Pokemon behind paid DLC released alongside the game revitalized the franchise?
Fuck that. I’ve bought every Pokemon game since Red and every console to play them on, but it’ll be a cold day in hell before I give them more money when they’re just going to use to sue smaller developers and while letting fascists co-opt their music and imagery.
I don’t think a Switch 2 emulator will come out any time soon, but I do respect the hustle. I myself am probably only gonna get anything Switch/Switch 2 related from resellers and/or used.
To be fair the “DLC” isn’t actually available until 2026, what they have released now is basically a pre-order, still scummy but not as bad as you’re implying. Edit:for clarity, they didn’t cut anything out of the game, they just have a pre-order for the DLC.
If before you’ve even finished a project you’ve already decided part of it won’t be included in the original project unless the user pays extra, that’s the definition of scummy.

Every single person I know who bought it says it’s the best entry in the franchise in a decade, so… 🤷
I believe it, only because that’s a pretty low bar lol. I’ll play it when I can 🏴☠️🦜 it.

Isn’t that what all DLC is? The The expansion you can buy right now is basically just pre-ordering the DLC in 2026, like a season pass.
