Good news.
Just hope people don't get so horribly hung up on the low number of recruitable Pokemon that they can't enjoy everything else about the game (Though they already are, judging from other forums...).
Unfortunately, a lot of other people seem to be thinking that the game is completely ruined because of the lack of Pokemon.
Which is kind of funny, considering that the Wiiware games were reviewed very poorly despite having all of the Pokemon.
What if the reason they didn't have that many pokemon IMO was perhaps to save us from the inevitable 3ds Main Pokemon game. Or they're setting up a sequel..?
And the Ranger games were doing it before it was cool
Honestly...the PMD games have always been needlessly obnoxious when it comes to recruiting and using Pokemon.
Cutting down is probably for the best
You do actually get to make a choice that affects an event at one point.
And it's not one of those ones that just changes a few lines of dialogue and has things play out exactly the same after that, either.
