Honestly, I LOVE this game. I got it as soon as it came out and i'm having fun. I can see why this game isn't nearly as popular as games like Sun and Moon, in which despite having no national dex, nothing was cut. In a way, it's like the whole Is Generation 5 good or not argument. but to all of the people who are mad about no national dex, it's not like Gamefreak intentionally removed the National dex from the getgo. They had to make this really hard decision as the games would probably take multiple years to complete if they did include the national dex. Despite this rant, the game is still fun! Keep up the good work, Gamefreak!
