Can someone tell me why not having all Pokemon in the new games is a big deal? I never used Pokemon bank or home or whatever, so maybe I'm ignorant. Is it just that people really want to bring Pokemon from their old games or is there something else I'm missing?

people want something to complain about, that's it. Only autist supremes actually try to catch every single pokemon beyond the first gen anyway

i think if the pokemon had more, what is it, detail like pokken or something i would totally understand, but most of these pokemon look like they were ripped from go.

on top of what >>38946299 said: the simple fact is that there's not gonna be any promises someone will even get to use their favorite pokemon EVENTUALLY in a NEW GAME down the line.

Tell me if this doesn't seem probably:
>it's a route one trash mon, but you've had your linoon since the original gen 3 and adore the thing and have brought it into every game since.
>Then, you transfer him to pokemon home, waiting for a chance to use him
>Years pass
>it's announced the last pokemon game is being made and they show the regional dex...
>zigzagoon is not on it, nor has it been on any others.
>This has happened to dozens of pokemon since gen 8, completely cut out from everything except Pokemon Home, when asked, all Masuda will say is "Haha! I guess we forgot about them. But it's okay, they weren't that important anyway and too hard to balance."

And then Pokemon Home is shut down because with the last pokemon game made, there's no reason to support it anymore, and your bro-mon vanishes. This time forever.

It's more about the fact that Game Freak is saying they're not going to put the effort in by just straight up not programming a good chunk of Pokemon into the game more so than not getting one's favorites in. Hawlucha's in and I always use a new team every new game so I really shouldn't give a shit but the message Game Freak is sending is a negative one.

Its not out of any desire for Balance, and they dont intend to replace it with anything else. They are cutting out content because they are lazy.

Lmao what a shitty take.
People are upset that GF created this arbitrary excuse for something they have done for the entire series, and are most likely gonna make the Pokemon you want to use physical dlc from now on.
>You want to use a gen 4 pkmn that isn't in Sword/Shield? Too bad, wait for the gen 4 remakes and pay $60
>You want to transfer a shiny you got from Sword/Shield to G4 remakes? Cross your fingers they're in the pokedex and fuck your Pokemon

and then there's this too: >>38946449

I was looking forward to Pokemon Sword and Shield, I was willing to forgive it's flaws that many have pointed out.

But the simple fact is that by cutting the dex, this is just Gamefreak saying "We want to do this much less work and give nothing in return."

The attack animations are still worse than Pokemon Battle Revolution, the new open world feels stilted with Pokemon idling about doing jack all, and to be honest, the graphics do look quite poor compared to peer games.

So: graphics are not really improved, animations are not really improved, the world feels dull and drab, and now, to top it all off, they're saying "we don't want to make all pokemon available" and keep changing their reasoning again and again to justify it.

I don't consider myself a hardcore Pokemon player, I kinda hate the "competitive" scene and only find enjoyment out of the main games. I haven't bought a Pokemon game since Gen 6.

Because I need each and every single pokemon ever created on one cart and I'm going to pay monthly fees and buy a new game system and play a game I don't even want just to do that even after LGPE and XY ruined pokemon forever.

did it in once in rby back when it actually mattered. Attempted it again in gen 4 with the GTS but quickly realized all the hoops you had to jump through for mythicals and munchlax and shit and didn't try it again. I've made a few attempts at the regional dex in Sun/Moon and but always seem to get bored halfway through. The games aren't about catching pokemon anymore. So yes, I have caught them all when it really mattered.

It's more or less the fact that they're trying to spin it like "oh we're trying to make the animations high quality but we can't do it for all of em right now sorry" and have done nothing to convince me that the games will look and feel great in spite of the missing Pokemon. They've also had the perfect opportunity to showcase what "Pokemon on the Switch" can do in terms of high quality 3D model animations in LPGE (with even a lesser amount of Pokemon to work with too) but it still felt flat

I get the concerns over there being a fuckheug amount of Pokemon now so trying to complete the Dex is intimidating. I think they're trying to stress Pokemon Home as "the National Dex that you're supposed to import Pokemon to now to get your completionist fix" which would work in the sense that you would only need to do the bulk of it once, then fill in the gaps with every new gen. I'm not sure if they really said anything interesting about Pokemon Home itself that would mitigate concerns over this (or really anything about it at all) but they really should

The way I see it, the main reasons why you would want to transfer your Pokemon over are
>1) so you can battle with it in whatever post-game Battle Tower thing/online play
>2) so you can see what neat tricks they learn with new mechanics
>3) so you can see it in grorious big screen TV
>4) to fuck around with it idk
1) and 3) would be solved by a new high quality Stadium/Battle Revolution game that allows importing any and every Pokemon from Home. 2) would eventually be fixed by newer games, but it will suck right now. 4) would be partly solved by Home having a Amie/Refresh function but actually interesting, or really Home having any slice of life feel to it rather than a boring transfer button. Does it mean Sword/Shield is automatically absolved? No. Does it suck that you need to pay more shekels to get your fix of hi-def battles with your Kriketune? Yes. Is the situation semi-salvageable in the end? Hopefully

Simple: the idea the people might not have access to their favorite mons not because actual technological limitations but they're too proud to admit they didn't give themselves enough time to make a proper console quality game.
