If there's one upside to this whole "Pokemon cannot go back to older game" thing everyone's yapping about, it's that they'll HAVE to include the Hisui-only Crossgens in Gen 10 & after games now, seeing how that was likely their excuse to not do so in ScarVio.
>>58251185Nah, they'll go the way of Ash Greninja, and be retconned out of existence.
>>58251205I get why one would say that about Regional Variants and obviously simpler forms like the Spiky-eared Pichu, but there's no way they would do that about Pokemon that occupy a Dex Number, especially after they made Pokemon #1000 such a big ass deal. They're stuck with them no matter what.
>>58251185They may just Dexit their evolutionary families.
>>58251225They can't do that forever. Sooner or later it'll come back to them, banging on their doors.
>>58251256Sure they can.You can screencap this and call me a faggot next time Watchog appears in a game.
>>58251270Watchog's confirmed for L: Z-A faggot.
>>58251185No, you WILL enjoy your gen-exclusive mons you can't use anywhere else ever again and you WILL continue to drink GF's lazy slop like good little consoomer cucks.

It's called PKHex.

>>58251205In my opinion, they're not likely to retcon anything else for a long time.For now, the only things that are likely to be retconned are:- Floette from AZ- Zarude with the pink outfit- Pikachu with hats.Everything else is pretty safe.
>>58252065>Floette from AZToo plot-relevant, but yes, they have removed the model in some games, but from here on out they will likely keep it.>Zarude with the pink outfit>Pikachu with hats.Honestly yeah. Unlike Ash-Greninja or Eternal Floette, they have 0 stat alterations and any changes they might bring to the table can just be given to the base species (Ash Pikachu's Exclusive Z-move)
>>58252198As I said, they won't be doing a retcon for a long time. This implies that I don't believe in other retcons.I only mentioned these three examples because, in my opinion, they're the only ones that might seem out of place (but that doesn't mean they'll remove them).I mentioned the Zarude and Pikachu skins because they're the only ones that are basically nods to the anime with no real relevance in the game.Regarding Floette, it's because she's a "special" and seemingly unique individual who's a bit too tied to a specific character.Whereas retconning a Pokédex number or a regional form is inconceivable.
>>58252375I'm answering myself, but there's also the possibility that in Z-A, the Floette will remain alongside AZ. Which would prevent us from obtaining it.Or that it won't be able to leave Z-A, like the Pikachu/Eevee partner in Let's Go.Obviously these are only hypotheses, we will see.
>>58252375>>58252438The DLC has us go to an alternate dimension, i.e. an excuse to get one-of-a-kind Pokemon.
It's also worth noting that the official website tends to classify Floette Eternal as a "character" like the humans in the story, and not as a Pokémon alongside the starters, Zygarde and its forms, or the Mega forms.Although it can learn moves and have stats, and leaks suggest a Mega Evolution.
>>58251205They aren’t a form, they’re actually distinct Pokemon with individual dex entries — they may be dexcut for a generation or two, but so will other Pokemon, so they’ll never be retconned out of existence
