How much Pokemon were in Diamond and Pearl? I forgot.

Here's a handy list:

Red/Blue: 151 regional, 151 total
Gold/Silver: 251 regional, 251 total
Ruby/Sapphire: 202 regional, 386 total
Diamond/Pearl: 151 regional, 493 total
Black/White: 155 regional, 649 total
X/Y: 457 regional, 721 total
Sun/Moon: 302 regional, 802 total
Sword/Shield: ~400 regional, ~400 total

So, what you're saying is that the game still has more than 3 Generations combined, but you're still bitching? 

Again, you're all just so cynical, looking on the bad side. Rather than seeing it like 'Damn, we still have 400+ pokemon!" it's "Aw, we don't have 800+!" 400 is still an incredibly huge number, and as I've said before and will say again, the culling was going to happen eventually and they chose the migration from handheld to console/hybrid (where there's a need to recreate every pokemon's models and animations from scratch in the new engine) as that time. This makes perfect sense to me and I'm genuinely shocked that people are complaining about this. 

Well, not shocked that people are complaining - this is the internet, and it's primarily used for porn and complaining - but because even when faced with the cold hard facts and reality of the situation, you still genuinely feel entitled to the content. It's almost a shame GameFreak continued to overdeliver with the prior generations by constantly adding new pokemon and allowing us to use old pokemon for so long, because now everyone sees that as the base starting point of expectations instead of the rare generosity it is. 

Y'all need a shift in perspective.
