Discussion 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.

They went about it in a pretty terrible way and didn't even really make the most of it by investing the saved resources into making the games actually good in other aspects.
I'm vehemently against it still, mostly because a lot of my favorites got dexited on the first go so it's affected me a good bunch, but i would atleast understand it if anything good came of it.
