SOMETHING I'VE SEEN BROUGHT UP A LOT IS THAT POKEMON SWORD AND SHIELD'S MISSING POKEMON CONTROVERSY IS SILLY BECAUSE NO POKEMON GAME CONTAINS ALL THE CREATURES IN THE WILD ANYWAY. IN THAT CASE, WHY IS IT SUCH A HUGE DEAL NOW THAT NOT ALL POKEMON WILL BE IN THE GAMES? 49 Not all Pokémon will carry over to Pokémon Sword and Shield Simple: because this time pokemon unavailable in Sword &Shield will be missing from the game outright Developers confirm that only Pokémon from the Galar region Pokédex will appear By Cass Marshall Jun 11, 2019, 2145pm EDT Masuda: ""We knew at point going to be able to indefinitely keep supporting all of the Pokémon" we weren't Some w Ok, but what does it actually mean?How is this different compared to how other games did it? It's different in the sense that, unlike with past entries, there won't be a way to transfer and use unavailable pokemon from Gen 8 (Sword/Shield) onward. Previous Entries (GB,GBA,DS,3DS) Future Entries (NSW, -) As with all games, Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! & Let's Go, Eevee! hav As with all games, Pokémon X & Y have got a massive amount of Pokémon to collect. However, despite this, there are still various Pokémon that are not available in the game and require transfer from previous games. This list will be updated as more Pokémon are discovered. nt or Pokemon to collect. However, despite this, there are still a n previous games, these Pokémon cannot be added to the game.

What if I hack my Nintendo Switch and insert them manually? You will most likely waste your time, since we do have an idea about what happens to the dummied out pokemon (mostly from Demos and Let's GO.) ORAS Demo Let's Go A wild appeared You have no more Pokémon that can fight! Their stats are scrubbed (cries, movepool data, animations) and their models are replaced with a placeholder. Oh. Still...I'm pretty sure most people don't actually transfer their creatures from other games. In that case, Istill have nothing to worry about if I just wanna enjoy the game. True. As far most fans are concerned, nothing will change for them in the long run. Pokemon Bank users thought? That's a whole different story. Cloud-based Service NINTENDO DS. AAA Bank HOME R.xi Pikachu Eevee lNINTENDO SWITCH SHIEL For those unaware, Pokemon Bank is a paid service that allows users to transfer all pokemon from Generation 5 onward into the 3DS games, while also allowing them to use extra storage boxes for pokemon and a built-in national dex of sorts. Since money's involved, it's safe to assume Pokemon Bank users also pay to keep the service working. The thing is, if it's succesor (Pokemon Home) does not allow you to transfer unavailable pokemon from Sword & Shield into the games, how many Bank users will make the jump? Will they be *just enough* to keep the servers going, considering how few fans do care about this feature? What if little Timmy wants to transfer their Arcanine from Let's Go to Shield, only to find out the servers were closed because not enough people were paying for it? Food for thought.

Explaining people why cutting pokémon for Sword and Shield isn't the same as leaving them unavailable like in previous entries.

In case you were holding out: hope, dashed. Speaking to Inside Gamer, Pokemon boss Junichi Masuda re-confirmed that yes, there are no plans to add the National Pokedex into Sword and Shield. Although there were some "maybes" thrown out since the news came back in June at E3, Game Freak is now sticking to their guns and eliminating the prospect altogether. Masuda states: "We now have no plans to make the Pokemon that are missing in the Galar Pokedex in- game available. That is an approach that we want to continue with Pokemon games in the future. Of course, up to now it has not been possible to encounter every Pokemon in every game, so people had to transfer it from old games via Pokemon Bank to the new game, for example."
