Even in future Pokémon games, you won't be able to collect them all

Limited Pokedex will not "heal" in future Pokémon games, confirmed series producer Junichi Masuda.

Some Pokémon fans are still hoping that the Game Freak development team will get smart and subsequently add all types of Pokémon to the upcoming Sword & Shield games. However, this is not going to happen, but the team also plans to continue the practice of omitting older types of Pokémon for future games. Producer Junichi Masuda confirmed this in an interview with Inside Gamer.

The explanation is still the same - the team does not have enough manpower to manually animate, design and balance all types of Pokémon. Just to note: Pokémon are one of the most lucrative franchises on the planet and such a funny thing to say. But Game Freak has a solution for all those who can't get over the fact that Pokémon games won't contain all Pokémon in the future.

Specifically, with the launch of the Pokémon Home app in 2020, players will be given the option to move all of their past games into one place with their Pokémon. That way you can really get them all together. Just not in the game, but in the app. Except that you will not be able to use them in recent games.
