As much as I'm disappointed that there isn't going to be a National Pokedex in this game I'm not massively bummed out about it as I stopped transferring my Pokemon between games from Gen 4 onwards so that I actually could have strong Pokemon teams. My goals became to increase them all to Level 100 instead.

The #BringBackNationalDex movement however is not one I am willing to participate in because of what I feel that it represents. People are hijacking absolutely everything that the Pokemon Company and Masuda do in order to push their agenda and the worst part is that movements like the Sonic movie redesign and the Mario Maker 2 friend update are only adding fuel to the fire that continually protesting until you get exactly what you want is exactly the way to go.

I mean, it gets to the point where someone can make a bingo of it:



Pokemon-wise I find myself playing the card game again having obtained a modern physical deck and signed up to playing online, though this came about through playing Yu-Gi-Oh again and finding it a bit too complicated with all the new rules that they introduced. It does make me wonder though, the card game works on rotations, theoretically that means there will be Pokemon featuring in the card game that won't be part of the Galar Pokedex by the time the new games come around, which looks especially bad from a marketing perspective when you're pushing Pokemon for a side game (admittedly still one of the biggest in it's market) when most of your fans care about the main video game itself.

Also, Dynamaxed Pokemon cards might stand out in the deck a bit too much...
