Re: The Pokémon Sword And Shield Anime Will Be Set Across Every Region From Kanto To Galar

A common theory is that the time frame for Pokémon game production is dictated by the time frames of the anime and other merchandise. Well if you think about it, an anime that always covers all of the regions doesn't require a game to match up to it every year or so. Makes me wonder, perhaps this is their response to the natdex crisis. Remove the largest timing factor and game freak would have significantly more time to make games/not skip out on content
Just a theory though
