>>42322164>Emerald, Platinum, and USUM added could've been in the base game.Could've, but the difference between those and SwSh is that we have proof that this is genuine cut content from the get-go thanks to all the Pokemon that have their models and animations in the game's coding. The other games coding doesn't reference stuff like The Battle Frontier/The Distortion World/Rainbow Rocket, ect ect. This was planned from the start, albeit it either being a late but planned edition or them adding in even more legendaries that were in the code thanks to all the backlash.
