Here are the sizes of past regional Pokedexes (for perspective): Kanto (RBY/FRLG): 151 Kanto (Lets Go): 153 Johto (GS): 251 Johto (HGSS): 256 Hoenn (RS): 202 Hoenn (ORAS): 211 Sinnoh (DP): 151 Sinnoh (Pt): 210 Unova (BW): 155 Unova (B2W2): 300 Kalos (XY): 457 Alola (SM): 302 Alola (USUM): 403 Galar (SwSh): 400
I might be the only one that feels this but maybe a 6 year break inbetween Gen 8 and 9 would be good so game freak can come up with a good amount of well designed Pokémon instead of trying to put out another game in 3 years.
There's no old legendaries, starters(minus fucking charizard) and fossils. Honestly surprised they didn't go for no old pseudos too then
I'd actually be interested to see who designed a lot of these and compare their catalogs. It seems like the list grows with every gen. User:Altruis/List of Pokémon by their designers - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia
What’re the new fossils? For some reason I feel like I’m overlooking them cause everyone is talking about it
Basically there is a head and a tail that are interchangeable for both versions, but they are mismatched. Top doesn't match the bottom. There are currently four variations available.
i had to bite and look up the leaked Dex when i saw the noise about it, and man, that is seriously disappointing. still excited for the games but i think im gonna get dramatically less out of them then prior gens.
I really want to know the thought process for some of the inclusions “Metagross is really popular let’s add that! Nah fuck it throw in 3 old pseudo-legendary dragon lines in addition to a new pseudo-legendary dragon line”
It’s a rumour, probably fake. Came from an anonymous 4chan post. The leaker finished the game and started post game and there was no expanded dex
Man all I want to do is be randomly picked to direct a new game in some sort of willy wonka scenario. Some of these decisions are just bad and a random fan could do better.
I'm satisfied. Pokedex is about the same size as Ultrasun and Ultramoon which felt fine for a full pokedex. I like plenty of the new mons, with other solid mons coming back. I'm stoked!
the regional dex is fine. The lack of a National dex, and the fact you can’t transfer in any Pokémon other than the regional dex’s is such a disappointment. I would be so incredibly happy with that regional dex if a national dex was a thing.
