Ruby/Sapphire didn't have a national dex as you could not transfer older Pokemon into the game until FireRed/LeafGreen came out. I expect the same thing for Sword/Shield to happen next year when the Diamond/Pearl remakes are released. Either way sales for Sword/Shield will prove if the majority care or not, or it was just a vocal minority. |
That doesn't work that way. The fact you could send pokemon unavailable in R/S from Fr/Lg/Em/Col/XD/Channel means that the National Dex was there. Whether it was implemented well enough in a time without online trading is another thing entirely. Sword/Shield won't even reach that because the Pokemon won't be coded in, meaning they not only don't exist, they can't exist in any way, shape or form.
