Imagine not paralyzing/sleeping the legendary pokemon before catching it

[krakenatorx]

This dlc should be included free in the base game

"Brings back WELCOMED pokemon...like Jynx." Said NO ONE EVER.
Oh, wait....

[staticshock]

I just wish all of the starters returned. Especially Greninja, Infernape, Empoleon, and Torterra.

8/10 :"legendaries hard to catch"

[draycephantom]

Pokémon: here’s the rest of the game suckers- I mean uh fellow Pokémon trainers. That’ll cost you extra by the way.

[phantomcw]

The only thing I want is mega evolution come back

[jjungo]

Pokemon needs to try harder with their games I realize their made for kids but give the mature audience a side game like Coliseum 2 or anything fresh for the Pokemon universe.

I didn’t like it, and I’m a hardcore Pokemon fan. It felt underwhelming. The environment feels dry, the story isn’t intriguing, and it’s just a rush to get to the legendaries. This honestly makes my loyalty to the series falter. I truly believe that Pokemon has every potential, and some you may think it already has reached it’s all time glory, but for me it just isn’t there.

Maybe I’m just getting older...

Will the expansion pass go on sale? It doesn’t look like both of the new areas are worth $30

[goldenchid]

Spending money on a dlc pack that has all of the legendary Pokémon just downplays endgame content. Wanna go back to those old times.

[Kanoshem]

No Gen 4 starters is hella sus, defo gonna remake gen 4 for next year for sure

[BenAndJakeLightsaber]

So you’re just gonna skip the whole secondary league tournament in this review? That’s like 1/3 the draw...

[iasonpetridis]

Am I the only one that thinks that the low catch rates does the legendaries justice and makes catching them way more satisfying?

[QiscCastle]

I've caught every single poke and legendary so far in either a poke or premier ball. This DLC will test my resolve.

[brianwaterman]

Did he just.. complain about tough to catch legendaries? After all the others are guaranteed!?

[faceofbear]

Why I hate this?

Fans of the original Pokemon games have been forgotten.

[quaxlyquixote]

Playing the dlc was a lot of fun. Especially seeing as calyrex wasn't just another legendary to catch, but a friend you make as well. And the galarian birds look awesome. Ability patches make it easier for competitive play. You can now catch keldeo without an event too. And the returning legendary pokemon. Plus, it's way easier to get shiny Pokémon.

[Omnicharlizard]

Replaying the game and experiencing both dlc without waiting, Is something I’d say that makes this final addition the best Pokémon game released yet. Standing alongside heartgold/soulsilver, and ORAS

[OnizenArt]

Wasn't there suppose to be some big tournament mode where it pair off with any of the champions and gym leaders?
