>>43135870if pokemon is about using any of the 800+ pokémon in the franchise then why hasn’t there been a single game in the series that actually lets you do that? ever since the existence of the national dex multiple pokemon have been either impossible to use or extremely hard to get. A pokémon that is not currently sword and shield would never have been available had the national dex still existed. They wouldn’t have even be legally obtainable in the game until home dropped. Pokémon not in the regional dex are practically not in the fucking game, and this has been true since ruby and sapphire.
