>>47883016The game still has Pokémon, but probably not the Pokémon I like the most. My favourite is still non existent in SwSh and I'm sure this wouldn't be the first time they will remove it from the core games.
It's only a matter of time that one day they are left with about 200 Pokémon and the rest will be ignored forever. The anime is proof enough of this, giving Ash only the popular Pokémon just because, you know, they are the only Pokémon that matters now in the entire series.
