It's not that Gamefreak is being incompetent, it's just that they don't have enough TIME to tweak the animations and models of all the pokemon withing their deadlines. Gamefreak rarely and the few times they have done it their game was either outright unfinished (Gold/Silver) or had issues using stronger hardware (Diamond/Pearl). delays their games, ever They themselves admitted in famitsu they were this close of pulling some pokemon out for gen 7, which not only happens to explain why there's no national dex built in the game, it also makes pretty obvious the main issue isn't the hardware. It's time. It has always been about time. XY feels unfinished because of lack of time ORAS had no Battle Frontier because of lack of time. Pokemon Z was skipped in favor of gen 7 because of time Sun/Moon has unused areas & ideas because of lack of time. And Sword and Shield won't have the entire pokemon rooster (and who knows what else) because of lack of time. No more. No less.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/503/581/4ae.png "Time: An anon's take as to why features and pokemon are cut.")

![PokeMON SHIELP PokeMON SORD and the bad excuses people keep making This is necessary for a fresh start, if you want to use older Pokemon just play the older games. This has never been necessary for any other game, and whether you want to have a fresh start should be entirely up to the player. But what about the transition from Gen 2->Gen 3? That was a different situation. The Pokemon not obtainable in the games were still playable through the means of transferring from other games within Gen 3 such as Colosseum and FireRed/Leafgreen. In Sword and Shield non-Galar Pokemon won't exist at all. The competitive metagame is a complete mess, this is necessary to balance it. They already had systems in place to balance the competitive scene, in XY and SM, Pokemon would have a mark signifying that they were obtained within gen 6/7. They could just expand upon that. They are improving the quality of the game, Quality> Quantity. Judging from what we have seen, this is highly doubtful. 800 + Pokemon wasn't an issue when Sun and Moon released and it isn't an issue now. Even if they did magically improve the quality of the games, having every Pokemon is the most basic thing that makes Pokemon stand out from every other game. The sheer amount of Pokemon and consistently being able to have all of them in every game. Game Freak has already cut so much content over the years, when will it stop? There are too many resources to manage, there are thousands of models to work with, Game Freak can't handle it. Then why don't they either hire new blood or outsource it like every other developer in charge of a (supposedly) AAA series does? Game Freak doesn't have enough development time! Not only is this an issue with them being stubborn and keeping their employee count low/not outsourcing work on the game, it has been stated by Ishihara of The Pokemon Company that these games have been in development before even Let's Go!, meaning they've been in the works since at least 2016. You were never able to catch every Pokemon, why are you only complaining now?? While in past games not every Pokemon was obtainable within that game, you were always able to simply transfer from other games. one cares abo [unpopu Pokemon] anyway, I think they're right in removing them. Not only is that extremely selfish but it's absolutely wrong. Every Pokemon is loved by someone, regardless of how YOU feel about them. Maybe they'll add it in a later update! Game Freak (specifically Masuda) has stated they are not intending to do any updates or DLC for the series at this time, and they have never done so before. I don't see the problem/I personally don't care. Then why are you even commenting on it?](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/503/486/9a2.png_large "stop making s--- arguments")
