>Black and White's Pokedex strategy guide has 591 pages, 649 Pokemon total
>Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon Pokedex strategy guide had 720 pages, 809 Pokemon total
>Sword and Shield Pokedex strategy guide has 448 pages, ??? Pokemon total
Let's try working out the total number of Pokemon that would be available via the strategy guide's page count alone.

It's probably going to be in the 400-500 range like XY and USUM's regional dexes.

Around 500 is what I'm guessing.

~500.

And that's assuming they don't have sections on Dynamax and Gigantamax formes specifically which they almost certainly do at least in the case of the latter.

Expect 450 actual Pokémon at most - as expected.

I get what you're trying to do, but there are many other factors at play that influence the length of a book

I mean, 88 - 91% is a pretty same-y percentage though.

If someone knew how long the Dex sections were for all time it could help further deduce though.

Keeping in mind that this Dex will skip Megas and various formes that legends had we can probably assume we're looking at 550 to 600 mons.

The first two have 0.9 pages per Pokemon. 448 x 0.9 = 403.2, so roughly 400 Pokemon.

600 in game would be perfect. It’s hard to imagine the game really being that impacted by National dex cut with that many options still available.

I see the Oddish line, but not Bellossom, which is apart of it.

Assuming that every page is about each pokemon (which it is not) then BW has 1.098 pages per specieswhilst USUM has 1.124 pages per species.

Taking an average of pages per species would be 1.110. Assuming SWSH strategy guides are similar then SWSH will have around ~497 species.

Keep in mind that these books include all formes, z-moves and MEGAs. Both things that SwoShi won't have.

Since at least 250 pages are going to be dedicated to explaining Galarian forms, the intricate customs system of Galar, and personal apologies from the editor, Junichi Masuda, James Turnshit, and Tsuzuki Ishihara I think there will be about 170 pokemon total.

Are these strategy guides worth it or are they just space wasters?

Serebii and Bulbapedo made them irrelevant, the older games were also made useless by Marrilland who had more in-depth walkthroughs.

So two quick points.

1. The Dex didn't take up too much of the book at all. So the size of the book doesn't matter a ton for that. (It does for in game content though)
2. Pokemon has to have around 90+ new Pokemon/Forms in order to have a healthy season for their merchadise, anime, and card game.

We got 18 Alolan forms in Sun & Moon. Should we expect around this many Galarian forms as well? Or would we get less due to Gigantamax forms?

USUM's pokedex book lacks Zeraora, Meltan, and Melmetal. There are only 806 pokemon in there. Black and White's book also shouldn't have Keldeo, Meloetta, or Genesect since the last few mythical pokemon are typically left for the last Pokedex Book of the generation. If I actually had the table of contents for both of these we could do some averages of the percent of the book the pokedex pages take up to get a general estimate of how many are in.
