Why, that seems pretty reasonable to me.

[fahrbotdrusilla]

... I just hope that I can send sun/moon my flock of Shiny Altiara with mega stones to turn them into a cloud army. which is basically the opposite of what you said, sorry.

I'm confused as to what this secret is about, can anyone help me out? "Power Creep"????

[diet_poison]

I'm assuming they're talking about the metagame, though I'm not sure if you're confused about the term "power creep" or confused about how it applies to Pokemon?

[grausam]

they had the chance after xy, setting-wise... a new continent would explain some pokemon species restrictions for their battles.

[(Anonymous)]

Balance and power creep...so just for competitive battle stuff then?

They could just make better rules for those tournaments and stuff rather than making it harder to get all 700+ pokemon for your National Dex.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, seriously. I've managed to get more Pokemon in my National Dex in gen VI than in any of the previous gens. I'd be pretty annoyed if they suddenly went "oh hey not compatible with gen VII, time to start from zero!"

[diet_poison]

I got the sense from the secret that they just wanted a whole new batch of Pokemon, not to make it so you couldn't transfer stuff? Including all the previous Pokemon wouldn't fix the power creep/imbalance problems, even if it made it harder to get them. People who are serious about competitive battling will do it anyway, they're already investing a lot of time into it.

[diet_poison]

I can see the appeal, but it also makes me sad to think of not being able to use old favorites in the game.

If it did that, though, I would still buy and play it. As long as they introduced a lot of new Pokemon. Gen V was cool with that and it was ok to not be able to use any old Pokes until post-game because they had so many new ones (and it's one of my favorite gens in terms of new content, too, not just volume-wise but a lot of really cool Pokes cane in).

ETA: additionally, it would also be VERY different to engineer a metagame (and I assume you're talking about the meta here) that didn't end up lopsided somehow. To do that they'd basically have to make several Pokemon statistically identical which would arguably make the meta more boring - and/or totally re-engineer the type compatibility chart, which they already tweaked with but it would take a massive overhaul to make it so there isn't a single dominant type and I don't think that would go over well at all.
