PLA had all 210 Platinum dex mons plus a few extra. Do you think ZA will have the full 450 Kalos dex or just 150 for the central dex?

Its probably going to have all the pokemon native to kalos and new region exclusive forms like hissuian. They also have to add more mega evolutions so thats going to take up a lot of slots.

It did not. I know for a fact it didn't have Tropius, so there's probably some others.

Ehh maybe half that. I'm curious how you'll even catch anything if it's all tied to one city.

It was missing Hoothoot, Wooper and the Milotic line either which were in the Diamond and Pearl dex

PLA cut certain lines like Milotic and Houndoom to make room for the new regionals, so it could be surmised that some lines in the Kalos dex will also get cut
>inb4 they cut Patrat and the elemental monkeys again

I dont think we are getting regional forms for a city region. We are definitely getting new megas, a new secondary legendary and maybe some new alt evos or convergent species

150 is somewhat realistic for a single full-scale city, 450 is just ridiculous.

No, considering your initial statement was wrong. PLA did not have the full Platinum dex.

We only have one game to go off of, so there is no pattern set, but if we assume some basic similarities carry over such as the focus on Dex completion, a slightly smaller dex makes sense for balancing. It allows enough Pokemon to study for the dex without it being overly bloated and grindy-- If it had 450 Pokemon compared to ~210, you could expect different research levels to have different bench marks... unless they restructure some elements of the game, of course.

The trailer showed Pokémon outside Central Kalos Pokedex like Absol and Arbok. I don't think it'll have the 450 because it's a fuckton but I don't there'll be anything from after Gen 6 either. Kalos already covers too much stuff to bloat it with later Gen stuff. PLA only had Rowlet from Gen 7 or after for example.

I think a 300-400 dex will be expected
Also most Pokemon by now have received brand new models (PLA/SV/TM/ID) so PLZA will have a larger Dex than PLA did

So? They still need to do new animations for whatever gimmick there is in the game like they did for the styles in PLA as well as more rigging and animations for battling in general since one of LA's big selling point was how good the battle animations flowed and looked.

Dex could be anywhere between 250-300 for all I know. I'd gauge for higher, but we also need to remember that GameFreak is fully prioritized on Gen 10 for Switch 2 right now, which is an imminent new system, an imminent new generation AND Pokemon's 30th anniversary. In other words, a big fucking deal that Nintendo wants them to do "right" so Switch 2's reputation isn't tainted by Pokemon being a glitchy fuckfest so soon into its life cycle.
But back to L:Z-A. If you asked me, the range seems understandable because they're already having to obligate themselves to bringing back 71 Kalos Pokemon and possibly a whopping 96 Pokemon who can either Mega Evolve or are part of a line with a Mega Evolution, tallying up both XY and ORAS' Megas since they'll likely be reliant on notable Megas like Rayquaza in order to fill in the game's Legendary Quests, and there's a lot of narrative significance in getting the Kalos perspective of Rayquaza, who is considered the "true" first Mega Evolution according to Draconid history.

PLA didn't have the complete Platinum dex at all.
