What a week! Surely you are all very busy with the inclusion of Byleth to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, so here we come to change some airs and to discuss a subject that was somewhat forgotten despite being pending … The expansions of Pokémon Sword and Shield!
That's right, throughout this year, instead of receiving new major deliveries of the pocket monster franchise, we can acquire expansion passes for the original game that will give us access to two new areas with much to do, however, this has not been pleasant news for all fans of the series, which they would have preferred plot sequels, a remake, or a third installment of the games that contained everything released. So that's the question this week, Do you prefer the advertised to other alternatives? Do you think this is the way to go? The choice is yours!
The coin starts to spin … Do you prefer the Pokémon Sword and Shield expansion pass to other alternatives?
An excellent alternative

Until now, the tendency to continuation of games of the main line of Pokemon by Game freak It has been most diverse; with Red and blue we had Yellow (a delivery focused on anime), with Gold and silver we had Crystal, a third improved version (same case as Emerald or Platinum), with Black and white we had plot sequels, with X and Y we had nothing, and with Sun and moon We had not one, but two improved deliveries … So, what do all these situations have in common? That to access the new content they offered, you had to start a new game from the beginning, having to eat on many occasions the same story and the same tedium of getting all the medals from scratch.
This, of course, it was not to everyone's liking, and the general tendency was that the second versions used to sell something less than the original ones; something that ultimately didn't matter so much because its development meant a little less effort When recycling many aspects.
On this occasion, thanks to the advances that involve the transfer of the franchise to Nintendo Switch, we find a quite different picture, and we will not have to buy another game, which means that we will not be forced to start from the beginning … With the invention of Pokémon season pass, not only will we have to pay less, but we can access new content instantly!
Yes, I can understand that for the most collectors this is a jug of cold water when forced to buy a digital item
We do not deserve this deal!

Pokémon has been involved in numerous controversies This year, and in my opinion, he has managed to cope with them at all times, because despite the decisions made, they have been honest with the player. I think at all times we knew what we bought and, for example, the famous Dexit, despite how I claim to have his many detractors, was something that Gamefreak had announced and even dealt with justifying properly. Everything was at least respectful, until today.
I want to be clear: The Pokemon Sword and Shield expansion pass is a lack of respect for the players, regardless of its final quality.
Here the important thing is not 30 euros, or if there will be much or little content, possibly (as seen so far) is a great content and worth the agreed price (at least according to the prices that Nintendo has accustomed us in general). Moreover, if the DLC did not solve some of the common mistakes that the press has detected
After all criticism for lack of Pokémon, simple routes, absence of post-game, few legendary, little lore, simple dungeon … you announce a DLC that comes to solve all that for 30 euros, just after having sold more than 12 million copies. It is simply intolerableObviously it is perfectly understood who buys it, because the content seems good as we said, is what the game is missing; but any company with a minimum of affection for its fans, I would have given this DLC, which obviously is, if not cut, did not give time to take it out at launch. A very ugly move, improper of the times that run where free to play, games as a service or video game platforms are more than settled. Game Freak seems to be running late in the video game industry.
