>The old Pokémon returning updates are free in that you don’t need the DLC in order to get them.Except they aren't. They don't appear in the base game, and the only way to get them otherwise is to either pay yourself for Bank/Home and/or the DLC, or rely on some saintly rando who themselves had to pay for Bank/Home and/or the DLC. In the past, swaths of pokemon weren't culled from the data and sold back to you later, With the exception of a handful of special/new forms, everything was already there (including in the data), so your example is moot.
And JSUK, you do if you wanna being them in from older games, retard.
