My favorite is about the latest Pokemon game that has a fully rendered ocean at all times, which ruins the game's loading time and is, if I remember, never explored.

I logged in
document.querySelector("#glass-container").style.display = "none";
Then since scrolling was disabled, I just used the window.scroll() function to scroll down and see the small parts of the article that I wasn't able to read before the popup appeared.
This works because Tumblr doesn't actually remove the parts of the article it doesn't want you to see from the HTML output, so it's still perfectly viewable if you can get past the popup. This is not generally the case though, for example most news sites actually remove the text you're not supposed to see if you don't log in.
If I could figure out how to re-enable scrolling, I'd have a recipe for a pretty delicious Greasemonkey script.
Dear tumblr -- Sincerely fuck off with this bullshit, thanks.

>They all need a moveset evolution
Neither of these have to shift a substantial amount between generations. The current stats & moves structure solidified by gen 4 already.
>They all need a habitat
No they don't. Trade them in and out of Home/Bank/whatever to move across generations, trade with other players, etc. This was standard flow up until the latest few generations.
There is not much extra game design consideration needed until you're talking about new features. But a good percentage of mons are still in the new games, so is it really that much extra effort to balance when you have new features in play? It can be as simple as just not giving older mons the same new abilities. Not every one got mega evolutions, for example.
Gamefreak are just lazy. Employee reviews seem to confirm this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFWjhfhJJqE
Or actually, maybe they should be given a promotion because despite all the bugs and poor performance the game still sold incredibly well, so why spend any more money and time on development if it clearly doesn't matter.
I can't decide.
