It's not going to happen that way. They'd rather sell you annual Pokémon entries instead, where seeing your favorite Pokémon reappear after several years of absence becomes a feature instead of an annoyance

Think Nintendo will pull a dick move and have paid Pokemon DLC to complete National Dex?

From the leaks, the main game seems to be fairly short (10 routes+Wild Area), and the postgame is severely lacking (apparently, it comprises of a 1-2 hour post-game episode, as well as Gym Leader rematches which may or may not be included in said 1-2 hour episode) to the point that the best-case scenario would have it be on the level of X/Y's postgame.
More dynomax though lol so that makes more content? I mean, I don't know. Don't really follow it but it's their first mainline HD game it's not really the same as creating a ds game every year. If the game is good then it's good, amount of content isn't really important imo. I'd rather a good game with less content than a bad game with tons of it... so wait for reviews.
LMAO, this tickled me :)
And no, what it seems like they're gonna do is this ...
"HEY, you want your Pokemon from old games? Take part in our ominous sounding service ... POKEMON HOME! We keep telling you it's gonna be there and link up to our micro transaction mobile shit and it's gonna be a different way to interact with your Pokemon! Is it just gonna be Pokemon Camp (Curry and old Amie animations and ALL) but with all Pokemon? Is it gonna be a monthly or yearly service you gotta pay for? IDK, but put all your Pokemon in this fucking jail and take care of them (Pay me) and maybe just maybe some day you will be able to bring over your Lopunny ... and your Haxorus can take it's place in home cause we're never making another game where you can dump em all"
I really just want them to come out and say wtf Pokemon Home is and how it's gonna be monetized. If it is what I think all signs point to it being then maybe some people sucking GF's butt will see what I'm seeing.
Maybe. :/

They will, just not in the way you're thinking - Ultra Sword and Ultra Shield: out next November. Play the same game but with more pokemon! £49.99

Nintendo is the publisher. Has been for a while now. Just read a Wikipedia article on Game Freak. Do you know how publishing works?

Because Game Freak said something along the lines that it would affect the way the gameplay is. I'm paraphrasing, but GF said having too many Pokemon would be too much to focus on.
No. They're too stubborn to go back on this.
I don't think theyre wrong (maintaining the pokedex to infinity was an impossible dream), but even if they doubt themselves they won't go back on it.
However in the next gen they may include whatever pokemon top the list that people complain about being omitted.

Gamefreak did this and never followed through on it
No, that would be the Gen 4 remakes. Sword and Shield could end up like XY and be one and done.
I think they'll slowly bring them back with future entries, then they come out as the good guys because the next pokemon brings back some of the classics, and then again and again.
DLC would be a blessing. They've been having you pay full price for game re-releases so that you can have the same amount of content and features as a GBA title(Emerald) for over a decade.
No. They already said Pokemon were cut due to the work load. Adding back the work they were trying to cut down on defeats the purpose of the cut Pokemon in the first place.
OP, you are just taking the piss, aren't you?
Here is my asspull, please discuss is a weird way to start a discussion. Also Pokemon Company is calling the shots, which is just in parts Nintendo.

lmao why would they do that when they could just make a third version of the game and charge you full price all over again?
If they really held back all of the mons due to stuff like pokemon amie or w/e the latest pet your mon thing is because they don't have animations for everyone (that's what the excuse is I've heard from my friend) and they're just using the 3DS models anyway why not just put them all in but not everyone can have petting since there's no animations yet and make that the dlc.
Otherwise what would be missing? Don't they all have their attack animations for the ported models in previous gens?

I wish, we probably wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.
LMAO DLC.
What they'll actually do is release Ultra Sword/Shield with the full dex and that's how they'll do the third version re-releases from now on.

Do some people really think they, as "real" Pokemon fans, have the right to have all Pokemon in the game and because Gamefreak put "only" 400+ in the game they are evil and liers and lazy and the worst company ever?
Do some people even think about their attitude? This is so bizarre, funny and hilarious I can not resist reading every Pokemon thread here, and I don't even like the games very much.

Well, physical DLC already exist with the pokeball Mew thing, and Gigantamax Eevee and Pikacha are being locked behind the Let's Go games.

Called it. In one gen I predicted multiple Pokemon Directs and the dawn of DLC. Call muh patterns. Tell them to suck it. I am in sync with the Pokemon universe.
Did we watch the same direct? There's still no national dex and there's still not all pokemon.
No, they can be traded from 3DS to Home and then Switch, like any other Pokemon game.
No not really, you can transfer them to the base game from older games.
Considering that people will just conveniently omit that you can just import them in via Pokemon Home like people were wanting in the first place
I am glad and sad to be wrong, Sad because most of it needed to be in the main game, glad because it probably means no 3rd versions anymore
No is the correct answer though... this isn't all pokemon, it's not the national dex, and you don't even need to buy the dlc to have the added mons in your game.
Edit: just noticed the poll asks a different question than the thread title (wtf who does that?)?
