3) The fact that not each and every Pokemon is in Sword/Shield. I'm actually glad about it, only the ones that fit into the location are in and that makes perfect sense. I hope Gamefreak sticks with this idea in future games.

You do realize that was never the issue? There has never been a single Pokémon game where you could catch 'em all without trading from a different game. Every game since the GBA has always used a hand-picked regional Pokédex that does not include the "ones that don't fit into the location".

The difference is that those games still allowed you to transfer other Pokémon over from other games. The only acceptable reason for why they'd remove this feature is because of how much work would go into programming all of them into the game, but Sword/Shield still reuses all the same Pokémon models and animations the games have had since the 3DS days, so there's just no excuse.

Oh wow, I guess I misunderstood that.
