Game Freak Had Bigger Plans For Black And White 2

, which has been responsible for much of the information dumps, Game Freak originally intended to have more brand-new Pokémon in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Black and White 2. However, due to poor reception in the West when it cam🔥e to older Pokémon, those plans were apparently scrapped.

The designs that were conceived were then used in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon X and Y. The Kalos region of X and Y and the creatures that inhabit it served as Pokémon's sixth generation, though the impact of nostalgia was still prev🦹alent as X and Y still had numerous original characters.

Information about the plans comes from a series of leaked conversations, where a staffer notes that "Pokémon is not a local game that is translated for the world. It's a worldwide game now." The conversation goes on, with another saying, "I'm afraid we will have to put old 🌠Pokémon in the sequels and skip the new ones."

That's because, despite having a large amount of work done, "We cannot have an𒐪y region with bad reception. The brand requires all the regions to be liked by people." The backlash also seemingly forced the scrapping of Gen V mega evolutions. Instead, those mega-evolutions were then placed on older Pokémon like Charizard.

Depending on which side of the fandom you fall on, this is either a fortunate or unfortunate development. While some most certainly love the presence of the original Pokémon, there is also no shortage of people who would'ꦛve lov𓂃ed to see some new creatures and ideas instead. Either way, it's interesting to see how much fan feedback influences things.
