Greenlit: something something Dexit

Thought it would be interesting to provide a comprehensive exploration of Dexit. I don't necessarily want to say "both sides of Dexit" but idk might be worth at least trying to paint a picture of the pros and cons of Dexit.

Can see it structured as:

Subheading
One paragraph about that area

Potential subheadings/arguments/topics:

• Dexit 101 (i.e. how many Pokemon made the cut, what GF's reason for it was)
• Dexit decreases replayability (e.g. challenges, completing the full Dex)
• Graphic improvements? What graphic improvements? (i.e. does GF's excuse hold up?)
• The capacity of the Switch gamecart to hold ~1000 Pokemon models (also considering LGPE already had 150 Kanto models made)
• Counter-point: Regional dexes have always existed
• Counter-point: we've had Dex 'resets' in the past (e.g. RSE, BW)... just that this isn't really a reset
• Counter-point: Dexit allows specific older Pokemon to shine and not be forgotten (consider BW2 really showcasing Arcanine... though contrast that to SwSh really showcasing Charizard...again...)
• Counter-point: Pokemon across the 'popularity rankings' have made the cut
• However, chances are your favourite didn't.
• Business case for limiting obtainable Pokemon

Happy to workshop this and brainstorm other ideas. Figured it would be a topic on people's minds when SwSh releases and would be good to hit heaps of keywords and be a comprehensive guide to Everything Dexit.

An unbiased look at this is much needed I think. +1

+1 to the idea in general. It'll certainly continue to be a hot topic for a while yet.

With graphical improvements, I wager it'd be mixed - some things improved, others lacking. (Battling animations article comes to mind too, perhaps I should bump it with some release examples of animations...).

Does need highlighting that every Pokemon line is the favourite of someone as well, so with the amount cut, lots of people's favourites are gone for now, for an unknown amount of time.

+1 indeed.

Oh yes, the Dexit is a controversy. An explanation for this phenomenon is welcome, in my opinion.

Didn't somebody already do somethimg like this on Reddit?

Probably, but that's no reason for us not to release a detailed article of our own.

Yeah good point, I'll refer to that article (and probably limit my discussion on graphical improvements but just have it as the context behind why Dexit happened (officially, at least)).

Also added one more point, the business case of Dexit. $$$

Will get started on this soon with the aim of having it published around release date!

Yeah, you're right on that. It'd be nice to see a new take, mainly because the Reddit one was from a few months back.
