There's no reason Gamefreak can't limit Pokémon transfers until post-campaign. I'm 100% in favour to limiting the campaign to the Regional Dex in each game. Not including every Pokémon in the game's data, when only last week they announced Pokémon Home as a means of bringing forward your favourite Pokémon, however, is a slap in the face.
These game-specific mechanics have gotten progressively worse, imo. I expect the next generation to have Pokemon mech suits that break apart in three turns. Charizard gets three suits, for some reason.
You do know that no game ever had all Pokemon catchable in the game right?
I think I saw Goldeen in the Threehouse gameplay. It appeared when it was caught during fishing iirc.
This game's dex will be KANTOMON feat. Galarmon
Pokémon that aren't in the Galar pokédex won't be in the game at all. There's literally no way to play with Pokémon that aren't in the Galar pokédex.
What I learned from the let's go arguments last year is that alot of people seemingly think every Pokémon is catchable in every game, that you need to catch them all, and there aren't already curated pokedexes
It means that if the Pokemon isn't in the regional dex, it isn't in the game period so you can't transfer them from Home to the game to use them.
I got flashbacks to those asinine arguments, not gonna lie
140 old Pokemon confirmed already. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if the majority of them are in with it mainly being starters and legendaries missing out.
I'd hope that all of the starters are safe... I got too many hidden ability Littens for them to not see any action next gen
I don't know if Absol is in or not, but what can you do? They said they didn't have enough development time for all.
Maybe this is another alternate timeline where those concepts never existed and some Pokémon outright never were there.
National Dex hasn't been a thing since Sun/Moon where they axed it out and put it in Bank
He's one of my favs. Thanks.
This is my least favorite Pokemon. Its name is Maractus. Maractus is my least favorite Pokemon because, to me, it is utterly forgettable. Maractus was introduced in Generation V (Black/White), which I played upon its release and thoroughly enjoyed. I did not even know Maractus existed until a year ago. I had one, but I had absolutely no recollection of what Maractus was. Do I want to cut Maractus? No, because I'm not an asshole.I realize that, somewhere out there, there is a person who is ALL about Maractus and I want them to experience the same happiness that every other Pokemon player experiences when they reunite with an old party member in the new entry. Not everyone's favorite Pokemon is Pikachu or Charizard, and it's kinda bunk to tell those people that their favorite Pokemon is cancelled.
I would rather have the game now and roll them out as they finish them tbh. Yeah I don't know why they haven't hired more people but I think they will end up getting everything sorted soon after launch. This is a top 3 franchise for Nintendo no way they neglect it.
If that ends up being the case it's even more questionable that they would restrict what Pokemon can be brought into the game.
which is bullshit for several reasons, starting from the fact that they're a company that rakes in hundreds of millions every year to that they have every single model from Bulbasaur to Marshadow already made to great detail because of forward compatibility. And the animations are still nonexistant in this game anyway.
No problem. This is why it's so important to represent every Pokemon. All of them have their fans, and therefore there are people who will be extremely bummed if they're targeted for exclusion. I don't even want to think about what the next few months will be like, waiting for updates with bated breath to see if our favorites are in the game this time. It's not a fun way to ramp up to release. And that's just for those of us who are still considering picking the games up.
