Then I’ll just have to jump back on my Shield save to catch loads of stuff to trade to finish off my dex (well as much as I can), really have loved my time with Sword and Shield
Edit, finally caught it
I've been doing prep in Ultra Moon to aim for a living dex (I don't have a Switch yet). Thankfully most things can be caught across the 3DS games + Sword and Shield, so don't need to go back to that painful transfer process from earlier games. The only things I think will cause issues are mythical ones (I have some that came on a 2nd hand copy of Diamond, but really want to catch them myself), so hope we get more gift events. I know the remakes were always good for this in a sort of celebration/fan service way, but BDSP don't look like the usual remakes so I could be out of luck. Maybe they'll do something with Legends Arceus.
I’m really hoping the likes of Shaymin, Darkrai and Manaphy/Phione are easy to get in the BDSP remakes later this year. I think I’m nearly at about 70 Pokémon left for my living Dex in home. I’ve skipped the gen 4 ones I’m missing as I’ll be able to grab them in the remakes later this year but gen 5 has been slow going so far, people wanting a Mewtwo for a Dewott for example
I can see why they’re rarer as you can’t easily breed them in the newest games but not going to trade a legendary for a second stage starter
Kind of annoying that I’m so relatively late in wanting a living dex, but Let’s Go/Sword & Shield (with the DLC), plus what I transferred across from Bank has gone a long thankfully.
I’m still holding out hope they’ll do some form of mythical Pokémon distribution this year (maybe announced at their pre E3 show if they have one), as I’ll be about 11/12 Pokémon short of a living dex if we don’t get the mythical in the remakes or distributed somehow. Only one I wanted to pick up at the 20th anniversary legendary/mythical distribution was Manaphy, in hindsight I should have got them all.
