Game Theory: Does the fact that the move "Return" was removed from Pokemon Sword and Shield describe how much love and care is being put into the games?

Dolfin Nov 11, 2019 12:57 PM nintendo

Dolfin Nov 11, 2019 12:57 PM nintendo

Gent Nov 11, 2019 12:58 PM nintendo

Gent Nov 11, 2019 12:58 PM nintendo

legorhin Nov 11, 2019 12:58 PM nintendo

Gent Nov 11, 2019 12:59 PM nintendo

Gent Nov 11, 2019 1:01 PM nintendo

legorhin Nov 11, 2019 1:01 PM nintendo

"a game leading up to release day, is selling more than games not leading up to release days"

Spooky Phijkchu Nov 11, 2019 1:50 PM nintendo

If you thought Dexit was bad, wait 'til you hear about what's happening to some moves... "This move can’t be used. It’s recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can’t be remembered."

Spooky Phijkchu Nov 11, 2019 1:55 PM nintendo

They should have just disabled importing pokemon at this point

Spooky Phijkchu Nov 11, 2019 1:55 PM nintendo

it's clear they don't want people to do it

Dolfin Nov 11, 2019 2:04 PM nintendo

I totally forgot dexnav was a thing

Dolfin Nov 11, 2019 2:04 PM nintendo

Why do they implement features for one game then never use them again

Dolfin Nov 11, 2019 2:04 PM nintendo

Except for Pokémon amie

Dolfin Nov 11, 2019 2:05 PM nintendo

This is why Etika killed himself

Dolfin Nov 11, 2019 2:05 PM nintendo

And if he didn’t he would have over the no national dex news

Dolfin Nov 11, 2019 2:07 PM nintendo

Dolfin Nov 11, 2019 2:08 PM nintendo

Also gent the Pikachu Eevee moves were removed from the game also

Dolfin Nov 11, 2019 2:09 PM nintendo

VinnyG Nov 11, 2019 2:10 PM nintendo

VinnyG Nov 11, 2019 2:10 PM nintendo

VinnyG Nov 11, 2019 2:10 PM nintendo

Dolfin Nov 11, 2019 2:11 PM nintendo

VinnyG Nov 11, 2019 2:12 PM nintendo

Gent Nov 11, 2019 2:13 PM nintendo

Dolfin Nov 11, 2019 2:16 PM nintendo

VinnyG Nov 11, 2019 2:16 PM nintendo

Ok

VinnyG Nov 11, 2019 2:17 PM nintendo

Good

Gent Nov 11, 2019 2:17 PM nintendo

That wasn't as bad as I was expecting

Dolfin Nov 11, 2019 2:17 PM nintendo

Got rid of jump kick but keeps hi jump kick

Gent Nov 11, 2019 2:17 PM nintendo

But it was such a bizarre list to cut

Gent Nov 11, 2019 2:17 PM nintendo

Most were "filler" moves, without out much practical use

Gent Nov 11, 2019 2:17 PM nintendo

But some of these only added an extra layer to the game, made it more interesting
