So, honest questions. What is the number that Pokémon fans feel like is enough? Do people really expect every generation to constantly grow without an end? Where is the sweet spot? When will the number be just to overwhelmingly high?

Who even is motivated enough to collect, trade and evolve almost 900 Pokémon? That sounds like a chore and nothing else.

More is NOT always better.

There should be no limit for the amount that are actually usable in the game. Regional dexes (and so Pokemon that are catchable in-game) should be Kalos size at least (450-500 mon), and all others should be able to be migrated in at the very least. There is no reason to keep any out, Pokemon is the biggest money-making machine in the world, they can afford added staff.

I've got around 770 Pokemon at the moment (missing a lot of mythicals, but idc about them so that's fine), and would like to bring them forward. It's not like you're catching them all in one game, the collection is built over time, that's the whole point.

Ok but why Kalos size? Is that a personal preference?

And then I wonder, why is there even a need for new Pokémon when nearly all type combinations already exist? Why do so many bird and fish Pokémon exist when there are a shit ton of them already. Heck, why even introduce new Pokémon at all when fans only want to use their handful of favorites anyway?

I get the idea of collecting and accomplishing and feeling the achievement of completing everything there is to offer. But this new game doesn't take away anything you have achieved in the past. 770 is a huge number and you can be very proud of that, but nobody is going to take that away from you. And another honest question: if you had the option to use them in Sword and Shield... would you really? Would you really go all the way to import them into that game? What for?
