>46763491>still ignoring DLC is the rehash rebranded>>46763525To be fair, there's nothing stopping them adding a pokémon extinct in modern Sinnoh, but which lives in a different region in modern times still. Furthermore, if they really did pick a Japan/SE Asian-influenced region due to covid this time out, they may well tease the new pokémon in the last game before launching Gen IX in the winter. I agree it is ultimately unlikely, but not for your reasons. Home is the main connectivity point from no on, as long as Legends connects to Home, whatever comes from it will be able to be used in the games at some stage.
