I haven't played it since Ruby and Sapphire but if Bulbasaur was in previous game this gen can't you just trade it into the new game?

Nope, as of this Gen you won't be able to transfer all previous Pokemon from now on. Also there's no Mega forms or Z-moves at all so RIP those gameplay mechanics.

Yeah, the exclusion of a lot of starters and legendaries is really baffling.

Bulbasaur I can understand being angry about since Charmander is in. Like even in Gen 6 when they handed out starters they had all 3, and gen 6 had a lot of issues that makes it unplayable even for me.

If the Pokemon is not in the regional Pokedex, then it cannot be transferred, period.

This is going to be Game Freak's direction with the games going forward.

I did actually. First few times in red before I stuck with Charmander I always went Bulbasaur. Razor Leaf/Leech Seed/Sleep Powder/Body Slam and looked cool

While I do think they did a good job with picking the Pokemon they did - it really IS lame that they put Charmander but not Bulbasaur.
Charmander is whack. Bulbalife forever

Even funnier that the third episode of the new anime is about an Ivysaur march or something.

My fave Pokemon Girafarig not making the cut I can understand, but not my other fave Poliwhirl? A Gen I staple? Inexcusable.

I never traded for Pokemon not in the game anyway, so this doesn't really affect me. Probably gets me to use Pokemon I wouldn't otherwise, honestly

Might be worth nothing Poliwhirl was Red's first pokemon in the manga.

I've only loosely been following this Sword/Shield situation, but this is the first time I've heard people say that not having a national dex would generally be what Gamefreak is doing from now on.

Is that true? I was already figuring I would pass on this game at least for a while to see how things go, but if there's never going to be the ability to have the national dex again, that's even more reason for me to not get it

Back when they started doing the Pokmon 20th Annniversary games I went back and replayed each gen and caught almost every single Pokmon, except for I think Diancie, all the way up to Pokmon Sun/Moon. Then I played that game but it kinda bored me so I didn't catch them all in that game, but figured I'd return to it someday, with the thought I would continue "catching them all"

Now if that's not going to be a possibility what's the point

Said it right in the Gamestop articles box. Going forward, they plan on only keeping a selection of Pokemon for each game.

Hoping for this not to be the case if dexit hits them hard enough.

Oh yeah I know but... that's pretty much it.

-Pikachu is the fucking MASCOT
-Jigglypuff was a recurring anime character back in the day
-...Do I even need to explain Charizard?
-Eevee seems to be being pushed more and more lately, to the point of being the secondary mascot
-Meowth is Anime Team Rocket's 3rd member, and ALSO seems to be getting pushed more and more similar to Eevee as of late.

Should also be noted that the first 3, as well as Mewtwo who is ALSO pretty popular, are in Smash. Compared to the 5 I listed, Poliwhirl is... the first Pokemon of the manga protag, and that's about it. And even then, it gets quickly overshadowed by Pikachu and the Bulbasaur line, if I'm remembering correctly.

I was mainly making the argument that Poliwhirl isn't really a Gen 1 staple, though Jiggly being out doesn't really surprise me. Out of everyone I listed, Jiggs is the one I feel is the least popular, at least in this day and age. Smash seems to be its life support.

The Jigglypuff we know and love did come back to the anime in SM, but for no real reason, as he had like 1 focus episode and then had a few cameos as a background mon

Poliwhirl is definitely a gen 1 staple lol. He was in all the advertising, was the face of Pokmon cereal (lol) and pop tarts (LOL), had the most toys besides Pikachu and Meowth and is Satoshi Tarijis favourite Pokmon.

Game Freak has just said fuck it at this point.

Nobody evolved into Poliwrath back then they traded for Jynx.

Again, he was one of the faces of the early advertising and hes the creators favourite Pokmon. Dont be a dunce.
