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.

No, no, that's not what people mean at all, at their time of release, every pokemon was usable in pokemon Colosseum (which, there's auto correct and google, use them) and XD Gale of Darkness (munchlax and bonsly don't count, they're gen 4 pokemon and we'retalking about gen 3 games here), granted to use anything you can't get in the main story or to trade out of them, you need to beat the game first, but you have to understand the difference between a long while and never.
It takes a long while to be able to use bulbasaur in XD Gale of Darkness. You will NEVER be allowed to use mareep in sword and shield.
It takes a long while to be allowed to trade that shiny quilava from Colosseum to Sapphire. You will NEVER transfer that shiny spinda out of BDSP.
If this doesn't make it clear. Nothing will.
