What do I mean by these titles? I mean extra content as, things you can do in the game that aren't required to beat the main story. After game content, side quests, secret places and Pokèmon. And by new features, I mean things that haven't been done before. Like how double battling was added a long time ago, or Pokèmon coordinator contests. Oh yeah, who could forget Mega Evolution?

Which do you value more, a game that's a fresh experience, or a game filled to the brim with stuff to do?

I personally value content more. Even with new features being added to the franchise it will still be largely the same game. The franchise is too big for them to take any significant risks with the formula.

There's also the fact that I've disliked many of the changes that have been made. Mega Evolutions were and still are a bit unbalanced in my opinion. In Sun and Moon where they decided to change the Pokemon league formula it was largely done in order to make the game feel even more casual which I didn't think was needed as the games are already very accessible thanks to the EXP share applying to the entire team and gym leaders being water down.

I think some of the best examples of this is HG/SS and BW2. They are my favorite games in the franchise and both did relatively little to change up the main formula. In stead they focused on adding a lot of extra content and polishing what was already there and I think they were all the better for it.

I much rather prefer new features because even though new content might be added, it's always going to follow a similar pattern and structure.

Black and White 2 came out and added new places to visit. But wait, battle this, catch that, train those, run this way. A new quest or story is always based around something that's already been done. That's why new features really shake things up.

A few years ago I probably leaned new features in this discussion. However lately it feels like Game Freak keeps trying to one up their own new features in the next set of games. It went from mega evolution which was cool, to z-moves which were just unnecessary, to now dynamaxing which just looks absolutely ridiculous. I'm honestly scared for what they come up with next.

Now I will definitely vote extra content here. With the games now being on the switch that gives them even more freedom to make sure that enough post game stuff is available for us to do. I mean they would be fools not to but you know how they're treating Pokemon recently so who knows.

What I do know is that the games being on switch means that there might exist a small chance for the battle frontier to return. I think the last games to feature it were HeartGold and SoulSilver, so it's long due for a return. Especially after they teased it in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

I would rather have richer content over new features and gimmicks introduced every generation. I hate being negative before the games even come out, but I already don't like the look and idea of dynamaxing. It makes sense for them to introduce mechanics that EVERY pokemon can do (like use broken Z-moves and simply grow larger), rather than back themselves into a corner the way they did with mega evolutions (since only 40-50 pokemon can do it), but I think it's just lazy overall. I really hope having giant kaiju battles doesn't slow the game down the way totem pokemon with auras did on the 3DS for Sun & Moon/ US & UM.

I'd prefer it if Game Freak spent more time developing what they already had rather than immediately cramming some new gimmick into the next generation. Who knows, maybe people will grow to like dynamaxing like they did with mega evolutions, it's hard to say. All the same, I'd rather have better/extra content.

I prefer especially with pokemon a game with a ton of stuff to do. I still stand firm with my belief that pokemon emerald is still to this day the best pokemon game due to how amazing the post game is. Think about it, not only is there a secret battle with Steven but a entire battle frontier with 8 frontier brains to conquer after defeating the elite 4. And I can honestly say emerald is the only pokemon game I still play to this day that I dont get tired of due to how much you can do in the game between winning contests and the battle frontier.

I think I prefer the new features, they help to make each game unique and interesting in their own way and it really helps to make each feel different from one another while the story usually follows an identical pattern from game to game I believe.

I prefer games that have the most to do. If you were to ask me, which game I would rather play, Pokemon Emerald 386, or Pokemon Emerald, I'm going to choose Emerald 386 every time, even though it's not an official game.

Why? Because it has more content.

Now, when it comes to mainline official games, the focus needs to be on making the main game content perfect, and then squeezing in as much content after the fact.

Sword/Shield suffers because while they nail the first half... they failed the second half.

I prefer with extra content it holds more replay ability and be worth your money in the long run. New features are nice and but most don’t hold on to the replay value, though there are some exceptions but ya know
