There are times when this or other perpetual childhood adventures can give us respite from that march, and that is why it is inevitably so painful when even Pokémon reveals itself to be part of that real world in which we live. You, reading this story, have never been closer to death than you are at this very moment.
That’s the core of what’s happening here: you can’t go home again. There’s no way to see their absence in the game and not feel that pang, a loss of continuity that appears to stretch out of the little Pokédex page, through the broader game world and right into my own life.
So even while I can understand that yes, something had to change, I’ve been playing with Bulbasaur and Squirtle since I was a child.
#LEAKED POKEMON SWORD AND SHIELD POKEDEX SERIES#
But Pokémon is a series that entirely revolves around breeding emotional attachment to its little characters, and it’s been doing that for more than 20 years. It happened to me after I saw the actual list: on an intellectual level I could appreciate the necessity of trimming the Pokédex, and I’m always wary of when hardcore fans turn on their beloved developers. The most important thing to know is that it’s okay to feel bad about the decision. And there’s something painful about looking at all those creatures, some of which we have loved for years, that aren’t coming with us to the Galar Region. The complete Pokédex for Pokémon Sword and Shield appears to have leaked online in recent days, and while nothing is certain until we actually have the game, there are reasons to believe the leak.

Speaking on the creative decision to limit the new Pokédex, Sword and Shield producer Junichi Masuda noted that it was a tricky balance during development. Plus, some of the new designs, like Morgrem, are excellent. But at the same time, there’s also plenty of cool new monsters to get excited about. Joseki via ResetEraĪ few of my favorites, like Dragonite and Elekid, aren’t on the list, which makes me a little sad. White backgrounds, meanwhile, pinpoint Pokémon who have been cut. Green denotes Pokémon still in the game, while dark green signals that creature has a new Galarian variant. ResetEra via AtheeriosĪs for returning faces, there’s a different thread on ResetEra that catalogues who is back, and who isn’t.
In terms of additions, ResetEra user Atheerios shared a graphic that appears to showcase all the new pals we can capture, as well as the typing. According to the existing thread, which has posted believable images of creatures within the game, there are 400 total monsters in the compendium. But, if the giant leak on ResetEra is to be believed, we now know the exact extent of the cuts. We already know that Sword and Shield won’t contain every single Pokémon in existence - that fact has become a huge controversy for players who have diligently collected and transferred every creature across games.

Beyond the final starter evolutions, fans are also sharing lists that purport to show the full extent of the overall roster. Pokémon Sword and Shield aren’t out until November 15, but the internet is buzzing with leaked information from the games already.
