Ranting & Raving!
I decided against Ice Path since its at the end of the game. I picked Whirl Islands as you can visit them as soon as you can Surf... and then I remembered you also need Whirlpool which you don't get until the end of the game.Or even Ice Path
So instead I think the Icy Rock could have gone in Union Cave. If Union Cave is cold enough for a Lapras, it's cold enough for the Icy Rock.
Well here's the video of the Treehouse where the announcement was made (I started it at 25:39 as I feel the build-up to the announcement is important).Or perhaps they genuinely thought it was no big deal. Game Freak being Game Freak, I wouldn't be surprised.
Now they WANTED it to be treated like it was no big deal. "Ho hum, I hoped you liked all the exciting new features coming with Sword & Shield! Oh, one last little tiny thing, SwSh will be compatible with HOME and you can transfer your Pokemon in Bank to HOME and then SwSh as long as they're in the Galar dex". *Commentator asks about sending Shiny Pokemon caught to GO into SwSh* "Uh, yes, Pokemon in GO can be sent to HOME and into SwSh as long as they're in the Galar dex... BYE!". However, it was treated like anything BUT no big deal.
No, Masuda is still working there. An before you ask, no, there's obviously nothing saying whose idea was it to announce it that way, but I wouldn't be surprised if after the decision was made Masuda went "I'm more familiar with the fanbase, I'll announce it at the end the Treehouse, I'll make it clear why we did so and there should be little backlash".In either cases, I sure hope whoever came up with the idea to do that got fired since then.
Eh, not the same thing. The TCG doesn't select what cards from every set is still viable and occasionally switching things up. What happens with the TCG, much like with others, is that there comes a point where an old set just becomes outdated and so that entire set is no longer allowed. The reason for this is a logical one: once they move onto a new TCG set they stop printing the previous one, meaning all those cards are now out of print and as the years go on & more sets are introduced those older cards are harder to get. Thus, at some point the set is retired so that new players who want to get into the competitive scene don't have to worry about not having & facing against these batch of really good cards from a very old out of print set.That I wouldn't be shocked if they treat Dexit as if they were rotating cards.
What Pokemon are in and not in a Regional Dex is all at the whims of GameFreak what they feel fits the region for whatever reason.
I don't think anyone was suggesting it would, at least not anymore. And a Restricted Dex can be a valuable tool, if only GF would use it as such.Dexit probably will never go away
I would be surprised, no, disappointed if all the remaining Pokemon that are still waiting aren't put into SV. I shouldn't be surprised because it's such an obvious thing... but GF have shown them and obvious get along as well as Zangoose and Seviper.I would more or less expect that either with SV or with SV + the next gen 9 game, the entire dex will be available in "some" switch game.
(I'll let you decide who-is-what and the metaphor that entails)
