I barely get a quarter of 400 Pokemon in all of the main games I've played :P

I get some people are disappointed, but I think total amount of Pokemon is only part of the game. A significant part of it, sure, but not a determining factor on whether or not I buy it or not. Because there's more to the games than the total amount of Pokemon.

I've read some previews and most are pretty positive about the games. I'm looking forward to it.

So you'd buy the game even if it had no Pokemon in it!? You're paying more for less but surely you wouldn't pay more for absolutely nothing. xD

It's silly to try and downplay what a big deal this is, it's the freakin namesake. Literally every facet of the games involve Pokemon, without them there is no game.

I meant that having all of the Pokemon is not a big deal to me.

Of course I want Pokemon in it. But I wouldn't lose sleep if I can't catch all 900 Pokemon (whatever is the actual count). As long as the game itself is good (i.e., gameplay, features, etc.) then I cannot say I would regret buying it.

I get that people want the best for Pokemon. I want to see the devs do the best they can, as well. However, I am not an insider of the offices of Game Freak so I don't know their development process. Besides having pretty nice offices to work at, I don't know anything about their development process. Apparently this has all been developed since 2016. How fast could they have adapted to the Switch hardware? How many people could they have hired in a short amount of time and integrate within their culture? How much did they have to consider the TCG, the anime, and other merchandise that need to be released alongside (or at close to the games' release date) the games?

Sakurai works his tail off, but people complain about some of features he left behind (Adventure Mode, trophies replaced by spirits, no break the targets, board the platforms, mediocre online features, etc.). So everything will not be perfect.
