Pokemon Sword/Shield will not feature all Pokemon - Just the ones in the regional dex.

agh... and I saw a spark of hope in these... :/

could they add them on update or smth? online would be very boring if not with the complete pokedex

Gamefreak is now saying that they haven't made a final decision on rather or not the will add more Pokemon later via updates. Considering the intense backlash they are recieving, with #BringBackNationalDex trending on Twitter and the video getting more dislikes than likes, I suspect that they will decide to patch in the National Dex via updates after release. 

They better do that, they really should have seen this coming. I will only get the game if it has all existent pokemon in it, and if they take too long to implement it, I'll just wait for the next one.

What were they thinking? What have been doing lately that taking a good chunk of the pokemon out of the game seemed like a good idea?
