For the last time, BoB, the point of two versions of Pokémon games has always been socialization! If you’re buying both games to get all the pokes you are doing it wrong! And yes, this is even more a thing today because WiFi Connection is a thing and you can trade with people from all around the world and have all the Pokémon on one cartridge, paying for only one game! There is nothing money grubby about the Pokémon model. Sure, there is a lot to complain about (such as limited time event Pokémon that would honestly feel better if they actually did paid DLC instead - which they never did) - but comparing Pokémon to what EA is doing is downright offensive because - again - for the last four generations it has been completely possible to 100% your Pokédex with only one game card and no one else around who plays Pokemon. It’s the exact opposite of the thing this thread is about!
