Is there any reason as to why we're getting fewer and fewer new Pokemon for each new region since Gen 6?

Gen 5 had the largest number of new Pokemon added to the franchise, but then those numbers just went into downslide for the next three generations, only 72 in Kalos, 88 in Alola and 87 in Galar... are we ever gonna get more than that?

Because regional forms and gimmick forms (Megas, Gigantamax) take up the remaining slots that would go to new Pokemon.

New strategy is to shill a mix of old and newmons instead of solely new mons. POGO bringing in a second pokemania means that we're not getting a newmon-only gen for a very long time.

But the designs aren't better. I'd even argue they're worse.

No. They realized that nobody cares about most of the new mons, so they stopped bothering to put any effort into making more of them.

Gimmicks is mainly what I imagine would be the cause. XY had megas that took the slots of what would be new dex entries, SM had regional variants, and SwSh has a combo of regional and Gmac mons. Every gen onwards now has to have some flashy new battle feature so kids will think "oh this region is so special because the pokemon can [insert gimmick]". It's a hole they dug themselves into sadly.

We might get more now that dexcut is going to be standard practice. I wouldn't hold your breath though

Quoted By:

Gen 5's whole pull was referencing gen by having a region with 150 new Pokemon and nothing else, so it pretty much needed to have a huge roster, it was never the standard. The thing with XY+ is that megas and regional forms became a trend, even though they're not new dex numbers, they still need to be accounted for as new designs.

Kanto started with 151. Johto added 100. Hoenn added 135. Sinnoh added 107. Unova added 156. BW wasn’t really an outlier for adding 100+ new mons, just that none of the older mons were available until postgame.

Kalos being the jump to 3D and having to work with a new engine and create models for 650+ old mons, they “only” added 72 new mons with a few forms, and 30 XY megas, which still equals 100+ new designs. Then add another 18 or so megas in ORAS.

Alola added 86 new mons, plus 18 alolan forms of kanto mons, plus PoGo gave Meltan/Melmetal. Still at 100+ new designs

Galar so far has added 89 new mons with some forms (a fuckton with Alcremie forms) and 19 galarian forms of old mons. Still at 100+ new designs.

less work and more focus on Charizard/Gen 1
Duh.

>>45124637
where did this "thEre CaNt bE MoRe THaN 1000 PoKEManZ" shit come from? We get less pokemon because now because models are a lot harder to make than sprites are and take a lot longer to do with animations and whatnot. It's not about quality over quantity, considering most new pokemon the last few gens are just repeat ideas of older gen pokemon.

Wrong.
In Japan, the new pokemon sell just as hard as older pokemon, to the point the new pokemon merch sells out waaaaaaay before older pokemon do.
Japan love all pokemon, not just gen 1.

I hope we will get ONLY REGIONAL FORMES game.
This would allow us to get new pokemon without dex bloat.
