Only Pokémon in Galar Pokédex can be transferred to Sword & Shield from Pokémon Home; similar restrictions intended for subsequent titles

This is something I've had on my mind as well. I was fairly confident in it before today, but now all I can do is think of whether they'll ax certain Eevee-lutions. Glaceon and Leafeon (two of my favorites, design-wise) are prime targets for that.
The only ones that are safe, are Flareon(Arcanine in the gameplay)Umbreon and Espeon, we already know(per leaks) the game has the happiness system.
Anything else is up in the air.
Man, this is really shitty.
The Eeveelutions are probably safe because they sell merchandise. But Probopass and Magnezone? RIP.
I can see their lines don't even being in the game.
'We don't have a magnetic field in Galar, sorry guys.'
Wonder how they're going to decide which ones get axed and which ones don't. Like are they gonna go back through their list of the 809 and go "yes this was bad" and then cut that design out?
And is Pokemon Home going to have any other functionality to it aside from being a Bank clone?

If you look at the modding communities for some games You'll see what I'm talking about. Bringing in existing stuff is pretty easy and with it being a turn based RPG it's even easier.
This is especially screwed up when you consider that, since Home is one-way with every game but Sword-Shield, those Galar Dex-eligible Pokemon would be caught in limbo as well because they can't be sent back to the Move Deleter.
Let me give you a hint. A certain 150 models are already nice and polished from a certain other switch game
Probably by typing, a bit of bias towards the Pokémon and whether that Pokemon fits the regions.
At the moment we don't know but it's not looking good as at the moment only Sword and Shield allows Pokémon in and out and given that not all Pokémon will be in the Galar Pokédex. Well you might want to think twice about transferring the Pokémon over.
I also fully expect them to kill Bank in 2020, forcing people to buy a Home sub before Bank dies and permanently remove all of their Pokemon from their 3DS games with no guarantee that they'll ever be usable again, making Home even shittier.
I don't think its that suspect if they thought it would bring over pokemon go players to the switch. It was a risk they took, and we can disagree on whether the risk was worth it or not, but it was bold and successful to a point (10 million copies in two months? or something like that?)
I think that they will block you from sending 'forbbiden' Pokémon to Home, avoiding this situation.
It removes an additional $5 from your bank account every year.
I'm expecting this, and honestly prepared to just stop being a fan of the series at that point.
Yeah and they can go eat a bag of dicks, I'll gladly write off this series!
If we're talking for similarities they would be removing Hylians and/or Gerudos for the controversies, Gorons be safe bro!
Question, are you a game developer or programmer?
You'd think not, but it's GF we're talking about here.
We're on a roll right now-- this is my greatest fear of all. This would be just the scummiest business practice and I'm half expecting it at this point. That would be a straight-up hostage situation.
"Oh, you seem to have a strong connection to all of those Pokemon you've collected. It sure would be a shame if you could... never see them again. Will we ever let that happen? Only one way to find out!"
Even if it's not always my favorite, Pokemon has definitely been the most important/influential media property in my life. I taught myself how to read so that I could play Pokemon. I've been doing this song and dance for over 20 years. I would quit the series if they pulled this shit.
I figured. Shit i was even hesitant on moving my OG Gengar over to Sun/Moon because he loses Levitate in those games (still have Levitate Gengar safely stored up in Bank). Now I'm even more hesitant on moving Pokemon to Home because I don't know when/if I'll ever be able to use them
I dunno. Any other company would respond to this, but Game Freak isn't any other company.
I'm not. Although, in retrospect it's probably more of a workload than a technical limitation, especially if the leaks are true and even the included pokemon may have up to two additional versions to program in as well.
Gigamax and region-specific versions
Except if Nintendo demands.
I think the backlash will get out of hand, this is unprecedented and the pokemon fanbase is restless. I don't think this will go down well.
Don't worry, it was an honest question you're good and you're right it would be more of a workload problem. The issue that doesn't make any sense is this workload should of been mostly done, but GF's gonna GF.
they cant this choice wasnt made out of spite, it was do this, or take another 2 years.
I looked at the comments on Pokejungle's #BringBackNationalDex tweet and holy shit there are a lot of people defending Game Freak's bullshit.
So in light of this news (assuming Home carries on the Bank tradition of deleting all your Pokemon if your subscription lapses) uploading your mons to Home is literally just signing up to pay the subscription indefinitely until they put out a game where you can actually put all your legacy Pokemon, under threat of THEM ALL GETTING ERASED? AND there is no way to put them back?
Just so I know I'm understanding this right. Almost impressed by Game Freak/Pokemon Company's audacity with this.

You mean that thing they already did and did in such a way to be future proof?
The renders and animations are done and future proofed since XY.
We have even seen walking animations for all Pokemon that have never been used
Try again bub.
1- they have almost infinite budget, their franchise is one of the most lucrative in the whole world, they have the money to hire more people.
2 - they're getting paid for this, it's the bare minimum one would expect from a Pokemon game.
3 - all previous models are already made since XY, they're reusing it everywhere, from ORAS, tô Let's go and SS.
There's literally no excuse for this.
Seeing Game Freak brought to its knees is the dream of a lifetime, but I know they get away with everything every time
I'm seeing a lot of "I don't care about all of the Pokemon so I'm fine with this," but I don't think those posters understand the context in which this is happening.
You can't transfer from Pokemon Home to Ultra Sun and Moon or GO or Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, so your Pokemon are effectively trapped. It's not a Home, it's a Graveyard.

Woof. This is terrible. Hype killed. So much more for me putting together a complete Pokédex on my Bank.
I can see a situation in which anamations were lost between engines, even if they could keep the models. hell even models sometimes cant be used between engines.
Maybe there should be a threadmark about how (future-proofed) models and animations already exist for most of the Pokemon since Sun and Moon. Getting tired of reading the same posts over and over...
...aww who am I kidding, people are proud of their ignorance and will ignore it anyways :(
