>>38633119This, except they do. They not only NEED a NatDex, they also NEED every mon to be "in" the game, for transfer and storage reasons. Sure, not all of them need to appear within the isolation of the game, but the data nedds to be there, so when little Lex sends his Living Shiny Dex, he can send the whole thing and not just some of it. It's not a big deal though, because, currently, it's just copy and paste, dex entries typically stay the same, with the exception of few mon, and the previous fen, since those mons are old just yet and should have witty new dex entries to blast Alola to hell.
>>38633133Unless the shitmon is Primarina and Brionne, and they opt to replace Popplio's line with the Kurusu line from Beta Gen 2, I would care. I love, absolutely, flaws and all, every wingle mon, minus them. It pissed me off that I required shinies of all 3 for my Living Shiny Dex. Only mons out of 800+ that I didn't want.
>>38633136RS was understandable, a complete cut, but BW was intentional, and I loved it, and to be fair, Gen 4 equally made you wait, as Pal Park didn't open up in Sinnoh till post game.
