@VGCVictoryRoad@playpokemon Stat Alignment is just another way of saying "Minted Nature."
They're not actually natures. Not that it matters anyway, since Champions doesn't include the berries natures affect.
@SinscoShopSoon And they'll continue to do it since crypto-bros are now parroting genwunner takes from two decades ago even though there was never a period in this franchise where there were only 151 Pokemon.
@litttens@MarcKingGrant@Llghtnlng_Blade If they tried to erase it in 2022-2023 they wouldn't have been making new game assets for it after SV already released.
@Nina_once_Again Even then, 151/150 was a dead giveaway they didn't know what they were talking about since the numbers exceeded that from Day 1 in the west.
@RSGabe1 It's the funniest thing ever that they are the reason why FRLG and LGPE turned out the way they did.
Romanticizing a childhood that never existed is somehow a core part of the experience in this franchise.
@MikaCookies They realized Spinda was in the internals for these games and were like "Wellp, can't have that work with HOME or else people might remember it exists."
