    I don't care about other collectable monster series—this is about Pokémon. If anything, having them all be usable would further differentiate Pokémon from the rest. If you were to completely remove the ability of transferring anything, then you're almost playing Digimon at that point.

    The Pokémon are what makes the world feel lived-in with traveling trainers and it just kills that immersion when I can't do something like take Infernape to Galar or Wooloo to Paldea because 0w0 game doesn't take it can't fit 'em all 0w0

    @TheJeffers this website is just NOT working right. Sometimes it just pretends to post something and just doesn't

    @Jirarudan I tried to tag you but this website said "nah" because this website was co-developed by Game Freak

    It's less about a natdex completion goal or cramming 1 of everything in the current game's save file and more to have someone not worry about their favorites getting left behind in an old game or someone not owning the right software. Like these games once were the hub of having and using your Pokémon and now these games are more like accessories to a cloud storage app to feed the machine. To further portray this analogy, Pokémon Bank was made FOR the games. But ever since the Switch era started to kick off, it feels like a Switcheroo happened and now the games are made FOR Pokémon HOME.

    @TheJeffers @Jirarudan this website is just NOT working for me. Is there like an invisible character limit?
