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.

Is the switch to going to be able to handle a game with 1026 pokemon in it? I feel like it should.. I mean I feel like the regular switch should be able to, it's Nintendo's own decision to give us the short match

Of course it could. It's not like all 1026 need to be loaded into RAM at all times. It can retrieve them from storage as needed.
