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

[Busaiku]

Just stated in the Treehouse Live.
From about 25:31 here.



This is absolute garbage.

 

[Birdie]

Just revealed on Treehouse with Masuda.

You can't transfer old Pokemon to Sword and Shield unless they're in the Galar Dex.

Ouch.

 

[nintendoman58]

what the FUCK

 

[mocolostrocolos]

This is really bad.

 

[Xavi]

WHAT....

 

[Prophyblakcis]

Bet they'll be dlc

 

[SilverX]

Unacceptable

 

[brinstar]

NOOOO

 

[Atheerios]

Masuda from Game Freak just confirmed in the Threehouse Live that similarly to Let's Go, not all 800+ Pokémon will be in the data for the games, only the Pokémon that are part of the Galar Pokédex.

Also Pokémon that aren't part of the Galar Pokédex can't be transfered to SWSH.

More info soon...

 

[GarthLordOfTheSith]

We'll be able to when we get the international dex right?

 

[VegiHam]

This is absurd, out of nowhere, and yet somehow not surprising. Game freak gonna game freak.

 

[Ryaaan14]

This was the dealbreaker I was afraid of

I hope ppl take to the streets and force GF's hand

 

[Birdie]

Ice Cream Pokemon confirmed to be in hahahah

 

[roguesquirrel]

if the galardex aint got pachirissu i aint buyin

 

[Bowser]

That's bad

 

[Kiraly]

Holy fuck man

 

[JigglesBunny]

Gotta catch them most!

 

[Spine Crawler]

oh.,, that sucks.. i guess they will complete the backlog next entry

 

[Atheerios]

Same as Let's Go, not all Pokémon are in the game data

 

[JayCB64]

better have my scyther in there

hope the dex is massive in that case also

 

[CheeseCrazee]

That is so trash. I'm so disappointed.

 

[Mr. RPG]

No way... I can't believe this!

 

[Charlie0108]

What an utterly stupid idea.

 

[The Last One]

Gamefreak is so stupid.

 

[Xeogran]

wtf
they will still be in the game's data right?

 

[Sieglinde]

If they don't add them later on i probably won't buy this, such a shame.

 

[Papertoonz]

real dissapointing

 

[Birdie]

Same as Let's Go, not all Pokémon are in the game data

Click to shrink...

Yeah but that was specifically advertised as having only the originals.

 

[Jessie]

This is the first horseman of the apocalypse. The series simply cannot handle 1000 Pokémon.

 

[Wanace]

Wait what? That would be ruinous. My near complete living dex is on Pokemon Bank. I have some Pokemon in there that I caught in the original Ruby on GBA.

 

[Kalentan]

Wait... So could that mean no blaziken...? :(

 

[echoshifting]

That is...incredibly disappointing news. Wow.

 

[Bomblord]

Honestly for the best there are just way way way too many pokemon

 

[Deleted member 11370]

... fuck. Monkey paw strikes again.


Oh. Of course it's due to Let's Go! Of. Fuckin'. Course.

 

[Deleted member 864]

Damn, that's disappointing.

 

[TrafficCoen]

We'll be able to when we get the international dex right?

Click to shrink...

Nope

 

[Maple]

This is fucking bullshit.

Seriously. We're now limited to 300-400 Pokemon best case scenario. Terrible.

 

[Magnus]

Is the idea that once you unlock the National broader pokedex in the new games that you can then move any Pokemon into Sword and Shield? If so, I'd understand.

But are they saying any Pokemon not in the initial Galar dex are forever trapped in gen 7? Wtf?

 

[Spork4000]

Fucking bullshit

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Oh ffs.....

 

[@dedmunk]

lmao classic gamefreak

 

[PKthndr]

What the hell. This is the worst timeline.

 

[Future Gazer]

Please remove Game Freak from this fucking franchise. Good lord.

 

[Deleted member 11626]

Probably will be forced to wait on an update or dlc. Pokemon Home exists for a reason

 

[Joqu]

Ugh. No.

 

[greenwell]

Everyone wanting an open world Pokemon game lead to this so thanks for nothing.

 

[Bardoon]

Booooooo!

I'm pretty sure most of my favourites will be the ones cut too.

 

[Rigbones]

Well they were *this* close to knocking it out of the park

 

[Buckle]

And theres the bad surprise Zhuge was talking about.

Fucking bullshit.

 

[GarthLordOfTheSith]

We'll be able to when we get the international dex right?

Nope
