>>43139119>"200 extra pokémon = 890 total in Sword and Shield"They never said the full 'Dex was coming back, hell given people's autistic obsession with the return of it any questions about adding new pokémon all defaulted to asking about if the entire missing compliment was returning, to which Game Freak kept stating will not come back in its entirety to any future Pokémon game. They're adding more, big whoop. They're not running a second DLC pass, this isn't Smash and one Pokémon game a system's lifespan doesn't work for the franchise or Game Freak, so after this drops, they'll be moving onto their next release. Undoubtedly, the other 300-odd missing 'mons will be implemented in DP, gotta let you "Catch 'Em All!" after all, but it also means they're not breaking their policy either (also helps boost SS's sales even further, any who join in with DP and decide they want the rest, will need one of the Galar games to do so).
>>43139238Masuda didn't lie son, he said the full national 'dex will not be returning to Sword and Shield. Never said anything about adding some more to the games though, I mean it's one of the key selling points of the uppers they did, use more older 'mons from the start in your re-run through the Region, not shocking they repeat that with the DLC.
