Only Pokémon in Galar Pokédex can be transferred to Sword & Shield from Pokémon Home; similar restrictions intended for subsequent titles

Nah, they'll remake it, they'll just limit the Pokemon to the ones in the DP dex, lmao.
Not even the Platinum dex and any Gen1-3 Pokemon that was't catchable just won't be in the data at all.
What do we realistically think the chances are that they go back on this?
I wonder if this backlash has been stronger than they anticipated. I'm hopeful that a combination of that, and them seeing that people would be mostly OK even if it meant waiting months for them to be patched in as long as they're coming eventually leads them down the path to post-launch support.

I would respect them so much if they did this. It's what I would do if I found myself in their situation.
Be honest, upfront, and blunt about it all.
This. I'd just like to know what exactly I'm trading my old mons for. Wild Area is great in the context that it wasn't a tradeoff.
If I'll lose access to a good amount of Pokemon I expect much more from this game.
Serebii himself was pretty appalled by GF's choice actually
I honestly have no idea
They definitely want to get away from being forced to model all pokemon every time and some have pointed out that its a reasonable concession if we got a massive generational leap.... and whether or not you consider Sword and Shield to be that is somewhat debatable?
I could see them caving a bit and presenting some additions through updates/patched but I still wouldn't expect 100% conversion
Maybe they will make other games that let you play with all pokemon but dont have the scope of a full title (colliseum or something)
Maybe they will say fuck it and take the heat and stick to the limited rosters going forward.
how long until they decide turn based battles aren't part of the core pokémon experience and change it to button mashing
I don't get the people (mostly on social media) who don't seem to understand that fans are allowed to deliver negative feedback.
They don't like backwards compatibility being taken away, so they're making their point known. It's the same thing PS4 fans did this generation. You need to make some noise to get things changed.

Make it like FF7 Remake!
Joking aside that would be a major shift but not something I consider off the table were they to go crazy and take a larger risk with their franchise XD
whenever niantic decide thats how pokemon battles should be.
Thanks to the general backlash and lack of interest in PoGo's PvP, this is at least unlikely.
For now.
I mean 400 should be satisfactory, I don't understand the meltdown.
I had ideas in my head for alternative battle systems but Im thinking they will stick to the bread and butter for a long time and keep doing gimmicky shit like Dynamaxx
The entire motto most of us westerners grew up with was "Gotta Catch 'em All"
I get if it doesn't matter to you, that's totally fine, but you can't understand at all why people would be upset they can't catch 'em all in the game who's motto is "gotta catch 'em all"?
It's not exactly a hard leap to make
I don't think this one is getting fixed, so much as it is pushing people to fork over extra money for a full(er) pokedex
I didn't like Let's Go and I think I'll be waiting a while to put down some money on a pokemon switch experience by the looks of things
So, I share my opinion and put my thoughts out there and I'm desperate or Joe?
Glad to know I've been wasting my time. Excuse me for not following the masses in expressing some fake outrage I don't feel and I think that some good may come of this. I won't be replying further to either of you.
For the record, I like all the Pokémon and my favorites like Volcarona who's a staple of my competitive team, Dragonite and Electibuzz/Electivire who's been bro since gen one and used on my competitive teams from time to time, and 6 of the 8 shinies that I've bread and EV trained in Poké Pelago all don't seem to be in the Galar Dex and who were going to be used on future competitive teams.
Y'all like to act like people who sees things differently don't have their own disappointments with this decision.
Same for easterners, but hey, I never had pokemon bank so maybe that's why I don't "get it".
3ds handled 800+ in battles and pokemon amie and everything else without problems. It's dumb the switch can't bring them all, considering the models and animations are mostly already done.
Get it now?
You know what actually would ruin the game for me, more than this?
If Exp share can't be turned off like in Let's Go.

For me personally it's not that I don't want all 900+ pokemon to be available, it's that I don't really care.
You're not just indifferent to it. You're actively defending it. There's nothing to defend here
Then why are you even in this thread? To let us know?
So what would be the best way for us common fans to politely let them know about what we want? Email? Twitter?
I mean, great? I don't understand why that means you have to be dismissive of people who do
Cmon man
That slogan argument hardly addresses the nuance and context of asking a dev team to continously build and then rebuild a constantly growing roster over and over and over for a franchise that has no signs of fading
lets be honest. The fear of pokemon retirement is not new and likely been on the minds of all pokemon fans as that number kept growin higher and higher
Are we gonna feign ignorance here? That we didn't intrinsically know that this could happen or that the dev team might want the freedom to make this happen eventually?
Am I not allowed to discuss it? Why are you acting like a dick? I'm just stating my opinion.
At that point I would walk away from the series after shitting up a couple threads. It'll probably be enough to push me to get perma banned from shitting up threads.
The additional animations they talked about are not for dynamax: they just embiggen the existing ones.
It's more probable it's due to the new camping feature, which is the improved Pokemon Amie.
I'm not, I'm just trying to discuss it and understand why 400+ isn't enough for you?
50% of all Pokemon sounds like a compromise, but... what if your favorite Pokemon isn't apart of that 50%? Oopsie, guess you're out of luck.
Heck, I'd say even 800 out of 900 would still be out of whack. It's all or nothing because otherwise you're bound to get someone left out.

I'm sorry, It's a hard line for me. The entire point of the game for me is collecting, it's what I've been conditioned to by their marketing, and it's why I play pokemon over any of the other pokemon-like games.
There is no reason this "had" to happen, and if it did "have" to happen there needs to be much more of a tradeoff in quality than we're getting. If they're going to go back on 20 years of marketing and franchise spirit, then we deserve more than a throwaway line in a treehouse and we deserve more than a modest step forward in technology.
I could live without most of the legendaries
I agree with this sentiment. The tradeoff debate is interesting now. Im sure some of you guys remember the defense of the graphical leap in the reveal threads
Though that was before we knew about this
How am i being a dick? If you dont care, what exactly is there for you to discuss?
Damn, this makes the ability trade in Home suuuuuuuper weird
You could've saved this argument for sun and moon. But surprise, they handled 800+ with no problem. Why are you giving it a pass on switch?
I mean this is not the damn witcher 3, a game that will probably push the switch to it's max, with a huge world, tons of characters, animations, weather effects, etc.
I'm pretty sure the switch can handle the code for every pokemon and more. There's absolutely 0 reason to cut shit.
I wouldn't even mind if they were rebooting the series (i.e. starting with the Galar Pokédex and reintroducing other regions over the years) if the games were substantially improved. But, as nice as Sword and Shield look, they're undoubtedly more of the same with a new coat of paint and this generation's gimmick (Dynamax). I'm not even asking for new ideas anymore, just reintroduce well received features that were inexplicably made exclusive to their generation. I don't even expect Galar to have regional variants, the best idea to come out of Sun and Moon. It's a shame, because I love the art direction in this generation.
Except that you are with your "I don't understand why anyone would be upset" comments.
If you can't empathize in even the most basic ways to understand other people's issues with the situation, then what are you meaningfully contributing?
Because there's no guarantee that someone's favourite will be part of that 400+
Right I'll just get out of this, sorry if I upset anyone maybe I haven't worded it right.
