Question: why does pokemon sword and shield not have all pokemon?
Answer: "Pokémon Sword" and "Pokémon Shield," the new Pokémon games for the Nintendo Switch, won't have every Pokémon in the series so far. Pokémon producer Junichi Masuda said the decision was not easy, but the resources needed to bring roughly 1,000 Pokémon to the Switch were too demanding.
