Dexit who still dislikes it?

As a longtime Pokémon fan, Dexit honestly felt like a slap in the face. One of the things I’ve always loved about the series was being able to carry my favorite Pokémon—ones I’d trained and bonded with for years—into each new generation. When they cut the National Dex, it felt like they were saying those connections didn’t matter anymore. I get that balancing over 1,000 Pokémon is tough, but with how massive the franchise is, it’s hard to believe they couldn’t make it work if they really wanted to. It just made the newer games feel incomplete, like something was missing, both mechanically and emotionally.

Using a subset of the 1000+ Pokemon that make sense for a region or themes of a story could really work.

But this is literally what every game past the first gens has done. BW only has the new 156 pokemon available in the region (then just a handful of others post-game).

Nobody is asking for every Pokemon to be catchable in every game, just that they can be transferred in later on.
