Notes:

"People don't give a god damn about WHY all the pokemon are not present. A person that plays the game to collect all the pokemon will not give a sh*t why the pokemon are not there. They just won't play the game. It's that simple."

"Why would little Timmy, who plays to collect every pokemon, or who likes this one specific pokemon he can't bring with him to the next game, why would he CARE about the reasoning? He might not even understand the reasoning. He just know he can't bring Toxapex from Sun and Moon into Sword and Shield. That's all he knows, and that's enough for him to not be interested into the game."
