Even though I've stopped playing for fun I've continued to keep track of what Pokemon haven't shown up yet as cards for a while and, especially as they've gotten away from distinct region-themed sets, it's interesting to see what mons still haven't gotten in. From "almost there" to "ways to go:
1 Remaining:
Gen 4: Happiny
That's it! Despite having Space Time Smackdown since within the first 6 months the babies were excluded and they really slow-rolled them even once babies in general entered the game. Any set now
4 Remaining:
Gen 5: Deerling line, Landorus, Kyurem
Gen 6: Fennekin line, Volcanion
Gen 9: Loyal 3 & Pecharunt
Gen 5's just been slowly whtitling away. We've had the other genies (including enamorus) peppered in the past couple sets so I'm guessing Landorus is up next. Kyurem'll follow eventually
Dunno why they're dragging their heels on Fennekin still. Volcanion is less surprising, the mythics just get thrown in at random. And it's Volcanion. Such is its fate.
Loyal 3 & Pecharunt feels primed to just star in a set together. Honestly it's surprising Ogerpon wasn't saved to go with them and instead "costarred" with Mega Gardevoir
7 Remaining:
Gen 3: Wingull line, Nincada line, Glalie (specifically glalie), Deoxys
Despite a few sets kind-of-but-not-really based on Gen 3 (including this one) gen 3 has just gotten drive-bys.
Wingull is one of those ones I kept having to double check like "Are you sure? Really? Wingull?" but Glalie is bizarre to me. Snorunt has gotten in twice and both times paired only with Froslass. Passing on TL I guess makes sense but may as well have had it in Everyday Wonders...Wonder if they're saving it for a Mega EX?
And the winner (loser?) with 27 remaining is Gen 8:
Blipbug line, Nickit line, Sirfetch'd, Runerigus, the 4 fossils, the wolves, the regi, the horses, calyrex, and all of the Hisui pokemon aside from Enamorus & Ursaluna
Quite the line up huh? The legends that don't get the pack ace treatment do tend to just be put in at random, I assume that's the hold up here. Even if there's a "Galar" themed set I'm guessing it'd still be splitting who gets in.
When Everyday Wonders had all those Hisuian forms I figured it'd also just get all the evolutions out of the way but nope.
With quite the runway until Gen 10 hits (much less gets into Pocket) I think they'll finish the "dex" but it'd be kinda funny if it still missed somehow.
