It fits in with the kind of animated intro DPP or HGSS had. Honestly, first time players are just confused at the final intro cutscene in BW, I've had several people tell me they thought they fired up the wrong game at first since it does look like the world's most generic JRPG intro without any context.
It would have made a fun first encounter early on in the game.
Given the horrors that were unleashed just by Lopunny and Gardevoir existing, we should be grateful Gamefreak didn't.
Oh, I'm fine if Scopley takes over Go at this point.
Most people, myself included, carry a charger that will last a while. It seems stupid to regulate the chargers, but then again it is Commiefornia. The autists in my group meetups would be hating the charger rule, since some of them bring a laptop and their phone.
If I remember right you're spot-on they didn't carry over into 3D - I ask people in the know to correct me - but I explicitly remember most of the fandom at the time thinking it was actually a very nice touch to have gender differences, a call-out to various species' gender dimorphism in real life. It felt like a bit of passion into building up Pokemon's world and a reminder they were all animals in an ecosystem, fantastical as it was. Stuff like that, or the much earlier slight color differences in Stadium 1 for various mons really leaned into the aspect every pokemon was unique in its own way, you know? Just like the size differences I THINK were also in Stadium 1 and returned in Legends.
You can see how much they lost their love in gen 6 when the only mega they put in for gen 6 was the mythical Pokemon. Gen 5's only mega (which they added in ORAS) was the goddamn exp pinata.
I actually did some more research and the restrictions are for the venue themselves, there will be bag checks for non-compliant bags and you can swap out chargers at will (so long as they fit the "cellphone size or smaller" rule they've set up).
Eh... you still see 'em every now and then and they're the reason why JPN booster boxes have become really expensive lately.
They’re more of a rarity as the hits are worth less than their English counterparts. These people are only in it for the money so knowing that, they tend to avoid them and stick to the ones people are willing to camp out for and you can get at big box stores like target and Walmart.
