Pretty much this. We may have lost roughly half the national dex, but the remaining half of the national dex is still a freakishly huge amount of mons. People need to stop pretending that having 'only' 400+ Pokémon (which is still 100+ more than the Sun and Moon dex had to offer!) means that the games are lacking in content.

That's exactly what lacking content means. 435 < 800 isn't people pretending. So yeah, combined with the other cut mechanics and modes coupled with minimal new stuff, Sw/Sh is in fact lacking content compared to prior games.

Sword and Shield bring features never seen before in prior games from the franchise. So in the end it all comes down to the individual perception of value from the game.

If everybody perception of value were the same as you, most franchise sequels (fighting games in a large proportion) shouldn't exist.
