You know what? Unpopular opinion time. Because of the recent announcement that we would not be able to transfer Pokemon into Sword/Shield, a LOT of people have been VERY upset, and understandably so. HOWEVER I’d like to shed a little bit of my personal reasoning behind this.
When X and Y [and Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire] came out, you know what the first thing people complained about?
The Lag. The lag of Pokemon coming into the game. Sun and Moon don’t have the problem AS badly, but the lag was still VERY bad. A lot of people complained about it.
Now let’s think logically. Obviously, the models are going to look better, have more polygon faces, etc, right? How bad do you think the lag would be if they let EVERY SINGLE POKEMON IN EXISTENCE have code in these games? Much less allow players transfer them in.
So you wanna hear my opinion on this whole shebang? I say I’m glad. Like, yeah, its frustrating, but I’d rather play a nice, not-laggy game than deal with endless lag because of SO MUCH INFORMATION in this game.
And before you go “ITS JUST THE MODELS THO!!” lets think about certain Pokemon. They’d probably have to not only program the new models, but animate them, code how their IVs and EVs work, code EVERY SINGLE MOVE they can learn, THE WAY THE POKEMON EVOLVES… [How is Inkay gonna evolve in a Switch Game?]
OH AND LETS NOT FORGET ABOUT WONDER TRADE. Remember how many hacked Pokemon started flooding the Wonder Trade? Yeah. Maybe Nintendo is preventing those hacked Pokemon from being transferred into these new games.
So I say I’m glad they’re currently disallowing transferring Pokemon into Sword/Shield. Maybe once they’re sure enough people have the game [and have beaten it], they’ll send updates that’ll allow it. Everyone’s acting like this is a permanent thing, but Nintendo has pulled tricks in the past.
