>>57263288>There have never been 1000 pokemon available in game in any generationThat wasn't the point. The point is that they have no shortage to fill the world with. 150 was fine for the tiny world of gen 1, but now the world are bigger, but there are more mons to choose from. And while no game has had a regional dex of 1000, they're getting up there with 400+, which is plenty.
Also, this is literally what every game was like before gen 8. Outside a few rare exceptions, third stage and special evos were never catchable in the wild, and those games worked out just fine. It's right around the time they started making it the standard in gen 8 that pokemon lost its soul
>Trading is not and never has been reliable, so the only other way to get trade evolutions outside of cheating is to make them rare encounters.Just make them item evos. They've changed evo methods before
