>>39046227>That imageAgain, you act as if "catch em all" can't apply to just what can be caught in a given game and HAS to mean catch and transfer everything.
>you can't claim the national dex isn't a core feature when that's what the postgame has always been built aroundExcept it really hasn't. The postgame facilities aren't "built around the national dex". They always just put up with the national dex. Though even in Gen 7 they started trying to move away from it by not having an actual national dex and just allowing for transfers.
If S/S won't have any non Galar pokemon programmed in, that means their battle facilities will also be built around the existing Galarian Pokemon.
You don't NEED the national dex and you don't need to transfer pokemon. A very small fraction of the playerbase ever completed the national dex cause it was never something the game pushed on you. You can enjoy the full experience of the games without ever touching the transfer mechanics, and that will be the same for Sword and Shield.
>KANTOOOOO Anyone unironically typing it like that is too twisted by their hate for the first generation to ever understand this, but I'll still try.
Kanto gets put in so much shit because it is legitimately popular. That said, not ALL of it is and GF has cut Kanto pokemon plenty of times before and they will keep doing so here. There will always be a strong Kanto representation, but that doesn't mean there won't be other generations well represented.
Again, AVALUGG is in. he's one of the ones they even featured in the trailer alongside Tyranitar for fucks sake. They're not going to just give up on the less loved Pokemon just cause they always include the more secure favorites.
