>>35593954The main goal in most pokemon games is "Go out and complete the pokedex". From gens 1-6 you could keep track of ALL of them so why suddenly stop at gen 7? Its not like pokedex entires are super difficult or they come up with new ones every gen.
Yes there is one in pokebank but why should that matter? You pay for pokebank for more space. Not a thing thats been in every game since the 90s
Pokebank also came out in gen 6, so if it was meant to replace the national dex it would have been done then.
