I have mixed feelings about this. Mostly because it seems like it's an "all or nothing" thing.

Some subspecies are really boring (mostly those based on first and second gen monsters) and honestly I'm okay if they're gone ferever. But most of the recent ones are really cool and offer a different enough fight from their base species so to see them scrapped completely is a letdown somewhat.

Still, the game has so much content, that maybe also including subspecies would've been too much.

And maybe we can still get some of their items and equipment? :P
