But I think @Morpheel is right, even if they aren't in these games, it's not as though they have been removed from the universe entirely. Whether the games get updated in the future to support them, or post SwSh games have different mixes, they still exist.
A problem though.
We know Gamefreak has a bias toward certain Pokemon. And we know those types of Pokemon will reappear more often than others. As the roster grows, Pokemon not of those kinds will appear less and less often. Said Pokemon will not be removed from the canon, but they might as well be if they fail to show up multiple generations in a row.
Maybe it’s me, but I wouldn’t mind the return of the stadium games and that people could transfer their Pokémon there back and forth from Home. Make the game dedicated to battling, and give it a decent online component... although making the models for such a game means they’ll have the models for a mainline game, so it still doesn’t excuse the Pokédex mess.
@Luna_110 A modern Pokemon Stadium is all I've ever wanted since Nintendo went HD...and now that Pokemon is on a console, they could reuse assets...I think you're onto something...
@jump Technically I think they hinted at that through what Home itself might give in term of warning messages if you tried to transfer incompatible Pokemons, with small messages such as "Your pokemon thinks this region would be too cold for them" or somesuch iirc from an interview.
I cannot imagine if DynaMax occurs on every Pokemons, we will see a HUGE giant Charizard, Blastoise, etc will destroy the stadium due to its size and their signature attacks. 😅
I was concerning more about the audiences who sit near of Giant Pokemons and possibly got some attacks from Giant Pokemon fights. 😅
@Anti-Matter As much as I'd love to have a full kaiju Pokemon game where you destroy absolutely everything, I sort of doubt it'll happen. XD But hey, we can dream!

Game freak’s laziness will be defended to the end of the earth though.
I mean, criticize them and the game all you want, but it's kinda unrelastic to expect the same reaction from everyone? Not everyone will hate what they see, and not everyone will like the same things.
For example, three houses is not in my radar, like at all, nothing about it makes me want to buy it, meanwhile I don't default to hate and disgust at the sight of any harvest moon game made by natsume... And that's ok.
This game is a massive step up from what I played on 3DS. I’ve got nothing but praise for everything I’ve seen.
I especially like how you can bust out the bicycle at any point and cruise around the world, and I love how it transforms into a pedal bike that can cross any lake. Reminds me of skells in Xenoblade X. The world is really beautiful too, and it’s great to finally have control over the camera. Switch is the best thing to happen to Pokémon to date.

Oh, and it’s awesome to see Pokémon in the world like Let’s Go, while still retaining some random battles in certain areas. And the giant stadium battles.
So many improved aspects of the game, sometimes I lose track of them.

@JaxonH All I can say is, I disagree. @CanisWolfred Define "completely different" please. @Ralizah I meant more in the sense of being a step up form the previous games, not genre or gameplay style. In all seriousness, I WOULD like a mainline Pokemon game with an actually good story.
I was as confused as Ralizah, I assumed you were expecting a major genre shift. And we'll just have to agree to disagree. I think this looks like just as much of a major step up in as those others you mentioned. I mean, Three Houses looks great, but Fire Emblem is also no stranger to console hardware, and they spent the last couple of games feeling out where they wanted to go. As Pokemon's first foray on consoles, this is looking far better than I anticipated.
I'm doubtful that the National Dex ordeal will have a massive impact on sales. A lot of people are bummed out...but how many are going to stop buying a new game because of some old content that they can't access? Let's Go also receieved some vocal backlash and has done decently well.
Sword and Shield have looked fantastic pretty much every time I've seen them. Proper next gen entries in the series. I'm not going to do this thing where I suddenly act like a game I'm interested in and that looks good is complete trash because of a controversial design choice.
@Snaplocket And that's a valid perspective to have. I just don't understand why you'd make the comparison to completely different series when they're not similar or related at all.
Anyway, while I wouldn't mind a good story in these games (I actually really liked the narrative focus of B/W in this regard), I've more been craving a Pokemon game that lets me alone and allows me to explore and play at my own pace, and these games seem to go a long way in that regard.
Gamefreak pls bring Gogoat in Gen 8. I spent a week breeding a Grassy Pelt perfect Gogoat with the correct egg moves and everything. I wanna try some funny strategies using Dynamaxing since it can spread Grassy Terrain while also attacking. ;;
