quick doodles.

It surprises me no one has done this gif yet. So, there u go. You are welcome

They did this under the pretense of wanting to focus on improving individual pokemon’s animations (despite none of the old pokemon shown so far displaying any new animations) and balancing online play (despite the fact they’ve banned pokemon in competitive settings before without excluding them from the games.)

This definitely means no National dex, but Sun/Moon lacked that too. More importantly this means you may not be able to use your favorites in Sword/Shield, or transfer your shinies. Pokemon that have been with you for 17 years will be stuck in Pokemon Home and unusable.

And since the transfer to Home is a one-way trip, you won’t be able to send them back to gen 7 to use there either.
