GF has struggling for years with nerds that datamine everything that they wanted to keep as a secret until their determinated reveal.
>Lets hide pokemon god and reveal it in a cool event
>nah, nerds already datamined that shit, surprise ruined
Same with celebi/arceus egg events in HGSS, secret forms and megas from XY and more.
But they finally could hide something until its programed reveal by not puting the national dex in the gen launching games. Good for you GF, you finally did it.
Or, they could just add content with DLC,expansions and patches like a good developer.

This. Im not paying full game price for Ultra version of what I already have but I would have paid 10€ for extra content with new mons and postgame

Nintendo does it too.
All good big developers do it

What Game Freak does with third versions is somehow more Jewish than DLCs.

DLC can be good if handled right
The issue is that many don't handle it right
Why they don't just say fuck events or locking mons?
There is no surprise to ruin if there is nothing to hide
And there is no such thing as a "cool event" just put them or the item needed to get them ingame or give them a fucking dungeon

What gets me is the whole obvious solution if they want to keep events as downloadable
Make them fucking free DLC that adds a little story. Bam, we get what we want, and they limit the chance of leaks/glitching into the event
As for people getting multiple, people farm these events like mad. At least a little story and dungeon that is permanently added on slows the rate at which we can farm said mythicals

As opposed to selling the entire fucking game again and forcing people to buy it for the new content?
