While it is a bit of a bummer, I feel it's being blown out of proportion. The notion that all 800+ old Pokemon must be brought over in order to be a good game is something I find ridiculous. Add in the 100+ new Pokemon we get with every new game iteration, and it's just insane.
I agree with the statements that there was going to be a certain point where the amount of Pokemon would reach a threshold, and there would be some growing pains from the decision. Still, it was a choice that needed to be made.

If I'm going to be honest, the most disappointing this is the lack of Mega Evolutions returning. Z-Moves were nice, but I'm lukewarm on them, so I'm not heartbroken about them being missing.

Did you know almost 10% of the current National Dex is Legendaries? Cutting out most of them, especially the ones that need special NPCs and items like Shaymin, along with cutting all the stuff no one will miss (because honestly, do ANY of you give a damn about Wormadam?) is hardly awful.

Hell, most Megas just make good Pokemon better with only a few actual salvations like Beedrill and...um...Yeah Beedrill. And Z-Moves are just an overanimated nuke or slightly fun modified Status moves when the modification isn't just "resets all dropped stats" like most. The dances and energy charges got boring frankly.
