#but i would like the national pokedex back in a game thats not the Paid Cloud Storage thank you

[pocketfullofjoltiks]

the way each game slowly drifts further away from the pokedex being important makes me weep

(which doesnt help when over half the dex gets cut from each new game and the national dex is fucking dead except in a paid cloud service)

the past few games what was once its own device has just been relegated to a phone app and its so optional now you get like one npc per game that even cares

I just want to complete my silly little pokedex! Everything else just gives me more tools to make that goal easier for me

Legends Arceus truly is my favourite 3D title because the pokedex is the focus and I’d love more games along those lines.

-SV Spoilers under the cut-

SV almost had me hopeful that the pokedex would be more of a focus when they ask you what your goal is at the very start but theres no additional dialogue other than from Jacq if you pick the pokedex as your goal except for Nemona saying ‘hey i know you said you wanted to do the pokedex but what if you did something else as well’ Even answering ‘to complete the pokedex’ in the champion interview results in you failing! but that was my honest and true answer as to why i was even battling the E4! I just wanted to get into Area Zero to collect more pokemon lmaooo

more pokedex focus in pokemon games pls i am tired of becoming champion all the fucking time just let me be a little guy doing thier silly little research

ive played Arceus 5 times over its the perfect little game for me
