>>40521914I do like that the majority of the Pokemon in the SWSH regional Pokedex are those that have been absent for a while. That is a bonus.
Not counting stuff such as post-game (once you receive National Dex), DexNav, Island Scan, post-National Dex gifts, Ultra Wormholes or Friend Safari, since those are extraneous to the regional dex. LGPE doesn't count since it is a different type of game than the other main series titles, and it was just Gen 1 + Meltan family. (Also not every competitive Pokemon player / hardcore fan played LGPE.)
