When it comes purely to "completing the Pokedex," I actually prefer the more recent games, since it's entirely possible to do without jumping through insane hoops. Ever since Gen 1, up until Sword/Shield, it has never been possible to complete the Pokedex without having, at some point, taken part in some silly, over the top event, such as going to GameStop to get a certain Pokemon, or what have you. The fact the Switch games actually specifically define the Pokedex to things you can entirely achieve in-game is nice, from a completion point of view. Yes, the limited Pokedex creates new issues, but when it comes strictly to completing the Pokedex, it's easier and more rewarding than ever.

Agreed. I do like that the games now have a really good reward (the shiny charm) for completing the realistically-doable Regional Pokedex, and the National Pokedex is still there in Home for the really dedicated players to try and complete if they so desire. I had the Nat Dex complete in Home up through S/V's base game, but I didn't buy the DLC and haven't bothered to try and trade for the new legendary Pokemon added.
