>>38912171They could fix this issue if they announce:
"All 800+ Pokemon will still be transferable, however making the models is time-consuming and will take a little while longer. So over the course of two years (etc), we will slowly release past gen Pokemon in to the Sword/Shield world for you to catch. From there, you'll be able to finally transfer in your old Pokemon friends from past games!"
But no....they're outright saying they refuse to release what will probably amount to most past gen Pokemon.
THIS is how you kill a franchise.
