What if they add the DP dex to SwSh and let you trade them over?

DP didn't get patched with Pt formes
BW1 didn't get patched with BW2 formes
XY didn't get patched with ORAS megas
SM didn't get patched with USM Pokemon
SWSH will not get patched with BDSP Pokemon, you are fucking deluded.

Though tbf with DP and BW1, the DS itself did not have any way to reliably patch the forms from Pt and BW2 without some beyond convoluted method that would of created a divide in the player base and fuck up online in some capacity, everything from XY onwards has no excuse.

Trust me steel beam is not worth it, the 90 accuracy will fuck you over as you will take half health even when it misses. Frankly empoleon would of benefited more by either switching its attack and special attack around or change Defiant to Competitive.

Samurott has always been in NU despite the powercreep that has happened over the past few gens, even when previous OU mons dropped to NU, and a pretty good choice for any NU team at that. Plus, mixed attackers like it make for pretty good mons in playthroughs.

The GBA games got a patch via Colosseum for a glitch where the clock would break. They've been able to patch the games

That's within one game, DLC is obviously gonna influence the main game of SWSH for easy compatibility with itself. Does not indicate that they will patch SWSH because of an outside game

Empoleon deserved better.
The fact that he managed to hang on in UU despite his ill-fitting stats and HA is just a testament to how great the Water/Steel typing is.

Empoleon is so underrated. It will always be my favorite starter.

Honestly, all of the gen 4 starters are great.
The mythology theme is kino, and I'd argue that it's the best executed theme for a starter trio.

SwSh literally got patched with IoA and CT mons.
Yes, GF has always been behind the curve and still is, but I think they've actually figured out how to update games with new content.

How good would it even be with Competitive?
It's still slow and not particularly bulky on the physical side.
Although being able to set up pebbles and discourage Defogs in one fell swoop would be nice.

It’d actually be relatively good as it benefits more from being intimidated than with defiant and while its special movepool is lacking, it does still have some solid choices like Hydro pump, scald (which can be useful for the burns), surf as strong special water STABs, Flash cannon for Steel STAB and coverage through grass knot and to some extent signal beam. As for its defence, its special defence is still great and its water steel typing gives it so much resistances that it’s physical defence is not as big of a deal and even then it’s not atrocious either and has a decently respectable HP. Literally all it needs is more special coverage on top of the ability being changed to competitive for Empoleon to really be pushed into greatness.

Still mad he doesn't have Roost.
I know he's not Flying-type, but plenty of non-Flying and explicitly flightless mons have Roost.
