>>5689>but to do so you have to buy the same game twice as two different versionsp sure the expectation there was to trade with frens i mean its still gay to lock monsters behind two different versions but it wasnt aimed at loners lol
also the vast majority of people who buy pokemans arent hardcore completionist autists they just look at what version has the most monsters they like and buy em then maybe trade for any monsters they couldnt get with someone who picked a different version
idk how many monsters there are now but even back when ruby and sapphire first came out something like a third of the monsters were already just filler i cant imagine with the what 1000 (?) that exist now that too many people are that concerned with collecting them all when prolly roughly half of them suck shit and arent even good for furbait
