I really want to get hyped the remake of Mystery Dungeon cause I love roguelikes (as in games like Rogue, not just randomizing levels and whatever else) and I love Pokemon but there are several apparent story choices that rub me the wrong way.
You are always a human turned Pokemon. Might seem so insignificant but since you are sent to save the world essentially the Pokemon world cant save itself unless some outsider comes in to fix everything. It would be like a game where an American man is turned into an African man and sent to Africa and solves all the problems and Wakanda is truly established.
They always do the tear jerker moment where you have to leave after the job is done and we are supposes to cry that you are leaving forever yet we always fake out
What made me swear off the MD series forever was during the post credit stuff in the game your partner is eventually benched and will not contribute to the story anymore, your partner that we spent the entire game getting attached to and would have an heroed if you would have left for reals suring the tear jerker fake out is just discarded at some point if you choose to continue with the story. So the game wants to be emotional yet doesnt respect your emotions
Anyway I just wish these random rules didnt weigh down the entire subset of the franchise.
Also the Pokemon dlc seems meh, on the one hand more Pokemon, on the other more story that I feel is mediocre at the best of times and is only going downhill from there.

I... what? You seem to be objecting to, like, standard fantasy plot no. 3. They do this so that the main and perspective character knows as much about the world as the viewer, and thus is prompted to ask and learn for us.
And the games don’t treat all humans as great. The first game had a festering asshole second human, and Gates to Infinity said most of the humans who came down were defeated. Add on that there’s always a second, natural Pokémon who helps you the whole way through to the end, and I feel like your ‘only humans save the world’ take falls apart.
And that’s all putting aside that you looked at a civilisation of talking animals and your mind went straight to Wakanda.

Caught up to everything and, um... I'm not, mad?
The confirmation that traditional spin-offs aren't dead right off the bat was nice. Not having to buy the expansion pass to access old mons was surprising, I guess GF hasn't completely turned into EA just yet (though they still didn't give all the mons back when we know damn well they could've). And I think an expansion pass is better than another USUM situation where we have to spend full price to play through what is essentially the same game again.
However 30 bucks is pretty steep to basically "fix" a half-baked product with content that should've been in the base game that was already $60 itself, on top of already having to pay for online and whatever the hell Home costs (which they suspiciously still didn't give us a shred of details for despite it apparently coming out next month). That and they basically lied to our faces yet again. Not even 3 months ago they denied any possibility of DLC/bringing old mons back, and look where we are now.
The hopeful silver lining here is this was their alternative solution to having to pump out an entire new game every year so they can actual give the next installment a proper development cycle.
EDIT: Also forgot the content for the passes have version-exclusive content. Yeah that's, pretty scummy. If you want to experience everything gen 8 has to offer right now you have to hack up $180, that is fucking ridiculous.

This game is going to have a few hundred dollars worth of DLC after all is said and done, this isn't also counting the monthly fee you gotta pay for shit.
Still not buying it, it's steering well into MMO Gay Bullshit Territory and if they couldn't nail the core 60 dollar game they're not going to nail the 30 dollar DLCs.

From what I got on the direct, there will be more of the older mons coming back along with more expansions to the game itself.

Unpopular opinion:
Mystery Dungeon DX looks like poop. I hate the hand-drawn style modern games keep doing, the only hand-drawn looking game I like is Yoshi's Island. I have the original DS so I can skip that game.
Don't mistake me for being a contrarian, I really don't like hand-drawn aesthetics as it's cliché at this point, I'm tired of pretentious games trying to stand out this way, it takes away any sense of immersion for me cos it doesn't feel real enough to put myself in their world.

Pokemon is going to die by a thousand cuts just like Warcraft did. You can already see the retarded gameplay decisions that have taken root.

I mean there are a shit ton of other games that have the character actually established in the world yet can ask all the questions that you want for those that don't know. You don't need to be an actual alien from another dimension to be able to ask questions. Plus it kinda makes me feel detached if I am not actually part of the world, especially when I am reminded constantly.
I never said humans were great, I said that they were the only things capable to fix the big problems. I didnt know that in gates there were other humans before you but still you eventually sort things so my point still stands (unless there is another game that has you as a normal born Pokemon my point can't be wrong cause it is literally what you are and what you do). And yes your partner is a real Pokemon but they seem to be very codependent on you to the point that in the endings that I spoilered happens, it kinda lessens their impact and contribution a bit.
No my mind didn't went to Wakanda, my mind went to superior race tries to fix the problems of inferior race by posing as inferior race. I think Far Cry has that as its premise maybe so maybe it is less racist and more acceptable than I think (especially if you use fantasy races).

You're forgetting that there's nothing shown as unique to humans in most of these games, and the person has to be a Pokemon to do nearly everything that they do. And the person chooses to leave the human world behind to be a Pokemon.
There's some exceptions - like the Dimensional Scream - but those are unique to the person, and it's implied that Pokemon can occasionally have it as well.
You're reading a thousand miles deep into 'hey, wouldn't it be cool if I could use thunderbolt like a Pikachu?'

This reminds me of the fire emblem fates shit where the other two games were $20 a piece if you spent $50/60 on the main game. While I liked the game as it was my first fe game and I could Phoenix mode my way out of sucking, I hear most people did not like it at all. I feel like pokemons going to be going down this road from now on and as someone who has shelled out for all those fe games, it wasn't worth it then and it probably isnt worth it for this either. I like the idea of adding things along the way to spice things up, but absolutely fuck paying $15-30 for it. For all this, they're getting you for sword/shield, pokebank (until you're able to bring them up), pokemon home, and these two expansions. Way too much money to be sinking into this gen, imo.

I think the best games in the "core series" are OR/AS. Especially because of the secret bases, the free flying, and the underwater.
The original Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald are pretty good too.
Also I like how there's tubers in those games.

I wish I could agree here, I love Emerald but hate the changes made in ORAS. Kirby-tier difficulty with very little of that brutal Kirby postgame challenge.
