Greylocke Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) I'm new to Reborn and to pick up knowledge on how the game goes, I have skimmed through some forum threads and found out that some Pokemon present in the older episodes is removed in some succeeding updates. Why is this? Does this mean that we can no longer acquire these species? Just wondering. It would be a bummer if this is the case. I've always thought that the a Pokemon game with the accessibility to catching all Pokemon and completing the Pokedex without the involvement of external game materials and human resources is what Pokemon fans have always longed for but kept from us by GameFreak. That's my opinion though. Any thoughts. But of course no offence or pressure to the developers.

Combat Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 No, they were removed for balancing. Certain Pokemon could make the game a breeze, and as such, were either "chopped" or moved to later portions of the game so the game wouldn't become overly easy. (Magikarp, never forget.) They will eventually be added later in game however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etesian Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 All Pokemon are supposed to be obtainable by the end, so no worries. As for why they were removed, one of Reborn's main selling points is it's difficulty, which is kinda ruined when you can have a Gyarados and Staraptor (2 of the axed things) before even the second gym.

Rot8er_ConeX Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 what ralts?! I think wytch is saying that Ralts was axed, and used to be obtainable before the first gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheep Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 No what he's saying is that there used to be one obtainable before the first gym. It's since been moved back until after you get your 5th badge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 They want a degree of challenge in the game, so stiff that would clean through key battles were put off to later stages or removed entorely in new patches, pretty much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
