There's zero justification for an isolated island region to have a National Dex available.

There's zero justification for a series that has had a national dex in every single main series game to suddenly not have one.

I'm one of the people who actually like gen 7, but the absence of a national dex is inexcusable.

They even gave Bellossom an overworld model for one of the NPC events yet it's still not catchable in the fucking game.

I just don't understand Game Freak's thought process.

There is, though. Previous regions were part of the same landmass so the amount of cross-species were incredibly high. The amount of species of Pokemon from other regions is so low in Alola that you have to specifically scan to find just one of them. The National Dex shouldn't just randomly exist because it was in previous games if there's no reason for it. It's nonsensical so why should they put it in?

It's not randomly existing it has been a key part of the games since generation 2. There are literally Pokemon you can catch in these games that are not a part of the alolan pokedex. It makes no sense to remove something that has been in every single game since gold and silver. Hell, the national dex is even mentioned in official ruleset descriptions on allowed pokemon.

Hoenn isn't isolated. It's based on Kyushu which is right off the coast. Meanwhile Alola is based off of Hawaii which is 2200~ miles from the nearest major landmass.

Unova and Kalos weren't connected to the same land and aren't Japan based either and they still had the national dex.

Hawaii isn't some isolated 3rd world country though its a US state

maybe it shouldve been in there, whatever, what I don't understand is why that so deeply upset you. there is nothing you get out of it other than reading an irrelevant two liner about a pokemon

In the context of Alola's geography it would be random. Would you give someone in Hawaii a book on birds that only appear in North America?

>Unova and Kalos weren't connected to the same land and aren't Japan based either and they still had the national dex.

The implication is that the other regions are close enough and similar in climate that they share most of their Pokemon species. Alola is isolated from the others, Kukui even says that the some of the species that appear there are unique to the region.

you coming up with a reason why it would logically not be there from a lore persopective is not an adequate reason for Gamefreak to leave it out

we got the same "far from all the other regions" dialogue with both Unova and Kalos

Why not? A reason for it not being in the game is being overruled by "it was in every other game, so it should be in this one too"?

not him, but I like seeing that high number after I spent long getting pokes for a (almost) living dex in XY and subsequently ORAS. It's like they don't even exist now.

Because that's you coming up with a reason to explain something. It's not a justification for the lack of a national dex, just a reason to reconsile with it's absense. If the National Dex was present, you wouldnt say it is out of place that it had one, or I asume you wouldnt.

And a reason that isnt even from Gamefreak, just one that you're presumably assuming they had themselves

I actually prefer gen 7's approach to the pokedex. The alola dex entries are much more interesting and specific to the region, and having a national dex achievement has lost its purpose if you're just transferring half of it anyway.
