On the topic of VGC, they could do what Regulation D is and simply add the Pokémon through the DLC patch and allow participation- not that I’m saying it’s a good idea of course, but regulation D has shown they aren’t afraid to this approach. This method incentivizes multiple purchases of all the games, which benefits the company but is terrible to the player base.
yeah that's what I was alluding to in my postI do still think they'll add a bunch of legendary Pokemon to fill the remaining slots, mind you, I just don't think gamefreak will care about letting us get them in the game. They already didn't care about players getting them before the biggest most important worlds, so I think that now that there's a moveset deleter and cross-gen transfers they just no longer see the problem.
they can easily feel like they no longer have an obligation to do this, even if said idea is Very Stupid
