One of the hot topics surrounding Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield this week is how not all Pokemon will be supported in the games. If you have a creature from another Pokemon title not in the Galar Pokedex, you won’t be able to transfer it over.
Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori have attempted to address the situation a few times over the past few days. In an interview with Famitsu, they commented on it further, as well as Pokemon Home and more. Find a summary of what was shared during the discussion below, courtesy of Siliconera.

Hello my beautiful Banjos and Kazooies! This week is post E3, and we have so much to talk about, it’s not even fair to our monthly data cap! Oni talks first-hand experiences on the Show Floor and discusses the entirety of the Nintendo E3 Direct and then some with Galen!
Part way through the episode, Galen suddenly had a swig of idiot juice and started being wrong about everything, but Oni keeps him on track as he recalls Eiji Aonuma’s old plans for new gameplay in Breath of the Wild. The gang may have figured out how the sequel is gonna go! Or at least they’d like to think they have… Check below the break for the full details!
To celebrate E3, we’re doing double content all month long! Mostly. We hope you’re enjoying! The best way to support our show is to recommend the podcast to others, and rate us 5 stars on iTunes! We really appreciate all the support you’ve given us throughout the show.
Thank you so much for listening!

Game Freak says no decision made about adding Pokemon not in Galar Pokedex to Sword/Shield with updates
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
As we’ve heard throughout the week, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield won’t feature all Pokemon. That means you won’t be able to transfer every creature that the series has seen.
If you were hoping that the games would be updated to support missing Pokemon in the future, you might be out of luck – at least for now. Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori told Famitsu that there is currently no decision to bring the existing Pokemon that can’t be used back into the game using patches, but those that don’t will still have an active role in Pokemon HOME.
