Quoted By:
At this moment, there are only ~60 Pokémon who cannot be used in any Gen 8 game (excluding some forms). So with those exceptions (which can feasibly fit in the free box, unless carrying over all variants), you can have all of your old Pokémon spread between at least two games. The only real issue is that you can't have all 905 in the same game, but they are all stored in the exact same location basically.
This isn't to defend it, but you're exaggerating the issue here. You still get to bring 90% of your Pokémon to Galar or Sinnoh (again). You can be mad about the logic and the reasons given for the dexit, but unless you are upset about Greninja, elemental monkeys & Gumshoos most people's favorites are back and they can carry over the Pokémon they made their emotional connections to, seeing them in HD, interacting with them & giving them new ribbons.
I can deal with Bruxish being locked to the cloud for now.
