X/Y and Sun/Moon had EVERY SINGLE POKEMON from fully coded in the games. The reason you couldn't bring your transported mons from earlier games at launch was because all they literally had to do was flip a fucking switch on THEIR end so the games could let you use them online. They were never added in to the game via an update they were ALWAYS there. The same thing goes for Sun/Moon there was no fucking update that said "oh yeah we added models for all these pokemon so you can use them now :))))" that update you downloaded for Pokemon bank was literally CODE that told their servers "yeah he can use that Shiny 6IV Kyogre he imported from Black 2 now". In Sword/Sword they're literally REMOVING Pokemon that don't fit the theme of the region. As in they're not going to be CODED in to the game at all. They won't EXIST in any way whatsoever. Say you have Metagross in Ultra Sun and you transfer it to Home when it comes out and then you try to bring it to Sword. If Metagross isn't in the Galar region dex the game will treat Metagross as if it never existed and you won't be able to import it. Why? Because they're NOT CODED IN TO THE GAME AT ALL THEY LITERALLY DO NOT EXIST AS FAR AS THE GAME IS CONCERNED THERE IS NO MODEL, NO CODE, NO ANYTHING FOR METAGROSS IN SWORD/SHIELD this is why people are pissed off
