I went by what should be included in the Pokedex, not by what should be available to catch in game as standard. Otherwise you could cut virtually every legendary and previous gen starter and use those 70+ spots elsewhere.
Started by cutting forgettable trash and iterative replacements of early game shitmons. Also cut UBs because they can fuck off and a handful of lesser legendaries.
Kept common favourites, starters and most major legendaries, then tried to prioritise things that see use either in game or online for whatever reason. Some spots went to early route pokemon and gimmicks for ingame.
Was surprised by how easy the first ~350 cuts were. You could memory hole about 40% of Pokemon and literally nothing would change.
