"I mad" because the series has too many Pokemon and that's a pretty well known complaint among a lot of lapsed fans, really?
Confirmation bias much? I rarely hear this complaint outside the Gen 1 diehards who insist everything after Mew is absolute shit. Sure, throw your lot in with them I guess.
On a fundamental level I don't understand the complaint. It introduces more metagame diversity, allows a new generation of young players their "own" set of Pokemon to bond with, and increases the challenge and feeling of reward for "catching them all." It's a win-win-win, unless you have Alzheimer's.
I don't discount that the "metagame is diverse" but how many of those Pokemon outside of the... what is it now... 717? 818?
Again, why does this even matter? Like 70% of the roster are non-final evolutions anyways, obviously they're not going to be competitive. But they still
do serve an overall purpose of contributing to the feeling of discovery and achievement.
Every generation so far has introduced some of my favorite Pokemon. Togekiss, Drifloon, Whimsicott, Reuniclus, Chandelure, Hydreigon, Talonflame, I could go on and on. If new Pokemon stop getting designed, we
all lose out on that potential
forever. Every generation has bad Pokemon we ignore, so what's the difference? There's no gain from stopping and a huge downside.
Also, it's 721 (not including the 7 we've seen from Sun and Moon.)
They have aren't the same 2-3 on nearly every team? Granted, I stopped giving a shit about competitive around Gen4 because the game was stale at that point with the same 2-3 Pokemon showing up. So maybe Gamefreak finally balanced shit with the move-type split and Stealth Rock spam bullshit to where more Pokemon's outside of OU's are used.
So you quit when the closest thing we had to a metagame standard was Smogon? I guess I can understand why you'd be salty, but it's a different world now with official support.
Because that's the trading card game tournament and he's too lazy to find the (3)DS tournaments.
