Well, we also don't know what their plans are with everything yet. Yes they may have made cuts from this game now, but maybe this is the start of killing yearly releases for expansions or something. No one actually knows what the future holds because the game isn't actually out yet and we don't know if there's a pokemon road map. Granted road map has some negative connotations, but I think game freak could put together a road map and implement it well. I think there might be bigger plans in the works. With all the leaks and stuff I'd say nothing else is happening too were I game freak.
I also think it's fine to be upset about the change. I'm really bummed I won't get to have a skitty in this game. That sucks. I'm sad my pokes can't just easily come over. I think disappointment is fair and valid. I'm also irritated about Pokemon home and I'll continue to be irritated about that probably forever. I need to remember to get pokes out of there and throw them in S/M before I have to renew my membership.
