No Cyndaquil? No Jigglypuff? No Abra? Looking at that list, I'm really close to cancelling my preorder.

Less than X/Y. Less than Gen 4. Slightly more than fucking Ruby and Sapphire.
It's a fucking joke.
I'm guessing Sinnoh will at least fill in all the gaps below 493, but yeah missing gen 5+ pokemon are doomed until at least gen 9.PIKACHU BIG
If we are missing 500ish Pokemon, I really don't see the Sinnoh remakes adding the rest in. Typically within a gen you are able to capture all the Pokemon without crossgen transfers, but I am highly doubting that will be the result by the time Gen VIII wraps up.
My singles team I've used since gen 5 has been cut in half (tyranitar, ferrothorn, scizor, rotom-w, gliscor, infernape).
No Meltan!? What the fuck was the point then?
I don't know wheter to laugh or cry. PoGo has more pokémon than the mainline entry...

Nah it'll probably just be something like
SwSh: Charmander line exclusive
Next game: Squirtle line exclusive
Third game: Bulbasaur line exclusive
"Your favorite pokemon that's been missing is back!" will be part of the marketing of each new game moving forward. This was a pretty obvious conclusion when they talked about how this was the new policy moving forward.
On one hand I respect that they didn't go the normal route and just do gen 1 and popular Pokemon pandering, but on the other it just feels off putting in Barbaracle before Metagross.
Rest in peace God's forgotten children. May you be given your promised land when Gamefreak decides you're worthy.

Meltan is probably still there. we don't have a data mine yet.
It's hard to feel like it's tongue in cheek when people on this forum has defended harassing Game Freak members on social media on their personal accounts, relating to posts that have nothing to do with Pokemon such as congratulations on a marriage or warnings about a tropical storm, devalued any counterarguments as coming from shills, and repeatedly stretched the truth, lied, or misrepresented the facts on top of rejecting the words of experienced game developers (and yes, I know, that hasn't been universally on GF's side, the point is the hubris and acting like these words mean nothing). You can't get the benefit of a doubt when this has been so mired in poor behavior... and yes, I say that as someone who acknowledges that this brought out the worst in me too.
It's not your responsibility to do anything as a consumer, no. That's why I said that people can be disappointed, or consider this a dealbreaker. But when it becomes part of the ongoing discussion, everyone involved has a responsibility to threat it seriously and to consider all the angles. I let this overwhelm me and it brought out the worst in me, and I apologize for that, but it feels like anything goes as long as you're mad at Game Freak.
Hard to believe this when Charizard has been getting treated way better than the other starters since 2013 lol
This doesn't work cause there are more 5th gen than anything else.No Volcarona is some BS
FINALLY
THE UNOVA PANDERING I ASKED FOR
BASED JAMES TURNER DELIVERS AGAIN
The thanos thing is a meme and the only person in this thread who comes off as emotional and angry is you.
We are not game developers or project managers, it is not our responsibility to come up with how GF can maintain the Pokédex. We don't know their limitations or resources or how they are allocated. We can only judge the final product and give feedback.
How many MegaTen demons are there typically in a given game and how involved are they in things like environments and animation-wise?
It's not just about cutting Pokémon. It's the sheer amount that were cut, which ones were cut, and the explanation for why.
They cut over half of all Pokémon out, left in bullshit ones like Goldeen while leaving out clear favorites, and basically give nothing back in return.
I understand, there can't be a constantly growing roster of upwards of 1000 Pokémon. I'm fine with making moves like how gen 5 limited you to certain ones before postgame.
What are we getting with these games that will make up for these limitations? I don't see anything except stupid big
Pokémon. Had they given up on that dumb gimmick and replaced effort with actually including a few more well loved lines of Pokémon I think this would have gone over better.

Meh, it's gonna be gone next gen anyway.
lol, it is something that Gen 5 is the winner of this cut.
Totally irrelevant to what I suggested.
They're already making 400 new Pokemon assets for each game anyway, we're just asking them to also shove the old ones in.
Man the yearly schedule is really fucking up the Pokemon games. I REALLY hope they abandon it soon, even they have to realize its not exactly working.
So fucking stupid. They cut almost all of my favorite. Ampharos, Shinx, Greninja, Rowlet, Totodile, Politoed, Cyndaquil, Piplup, Oshawott, Scizor, Mudkip, Heracross... the list goes on. So disappointed. Just give me Ultra Moon on the Switch. So done with Game Freak's bullshit tbh
Most of my favorite pokemon are out.
Imagine also creating one of the best recent Pokemon in Incineroar, and not allowing it.
Fucking Charizard is in obviously.
Yeah, won't be buying a Switch for this.

It's not really irrelevant at all. At least just tell me if there are there nearly 1000 of them like there are Pokemon?
That's what hurts the most, because they do this stupid ass restart every game all of the stuff we end up liking here in shield and sword will be gone next gen, maybe Dynamax is cool but it'll just be in the garbage in a year.
He didn't bring back Volcarona, Stoutland, Zoroark, and Liligant though. Failed Lucario I can understand, but the others didn't deserve this.
I mean, Kanto got gutted.
Not as bad as Johto, but it still lost a load.
It'll exist in the gen 4 remakes and then return to extinction.
I'll just say that I get where you're coming from, because I've found myself in a similar position before... but conflating a group of bad actors with the people in this thread playing along with memes about disappointment is not going to win any support.
I would think cars are mostly reskins and they're a bit different than an animated character.
What about Megaten? How many demons are there?
