B limiting the pokemon in the game to the regional dex, they've necessitated blowing the region dex count way up to fit as many pokemon as they can.I miss the days of a stricter, more limited dex of 150-250, SwSh and SV just vomit pokemon at you bc they need to fit them all in the region itself now.PLA's 242 was great, new pokemon encounters had some weight to them again, hoping ZA is more like that too.
>>58234397I think the it should probably be this:250 Catchable in Story, 100 new mons (Minimun), 150 "Veterans" of various Gens.Completing that Dex the Dex unlocks 100 additional old mons NatDex style.You can tank in a Living Dex from home and accomplish this immediately on replays once Home Compatibility is added.Each DLC (ssuming 2 Part meta continues) gives has 100 returning mons in its Area Dex NOT in the Local Dex, pad out with ones the in base game and the handful of new ones (IE:Urshifu, Calyrex,Horses, Galar Birds, Ogerpon, Loyal 3, Terapagos, Legendary Paradoxes) to have each of the two areas have a 150 Dex total.Should total to around 500ish, but be spread out so there is less overwhelming for Timmy.A lot of it is presentation to, Kalos and PLA did it fairly nicely with "Sub-Dexes" for each area. so you could tackle them piecemeal.
>>58234397BW2 was the perfect regional dex size imo. I think it was about 300 Pokemon even. large enough for diverse teams, but not so large that it became overwhelming.
A MASSIVE problem with Dexit is it now encourages the fighting game solution of "cutting filler" to focus on the must haves like legendaries, Pikachu, Eevee, Charizard, Gardevoir, Lucario in nearly every goddamn game meaning the dex's bloat has to do with the fact since every game needs these "essentials" that adds to the sameyness that the older games avoided whenever they dexited something because they were still in the code anyway and could be transferred over whenever you wanted toI'm afraid we'll never get a dex without Gengar again like Hoenn because that would mean Gengar just isn't in the game now and Gengar NEEDS to be in the game
>>58234656praying for a dex where all the old pokemon included are really off-kilter and unpopular choices, but knowing that will never happen
>>58234668That would be kino as hell
