I've heard that scarlet and violet won't have the full national dex either.
.
Feel like pure shit, just want her back.

I don't care if it makes games take longer to finish, I'd rather wait longer for a finished product than have gamefreak churn out something incomplete.

The National Pokedex is numbered the way it is based on when various Pokemon were "registered" by the different regions and accepted by the Board. It's more or less arbitrary. Kanto got to be first because the Board was founded in Kanto, Professor Oak was THE top researcher in the world at the time and he hails from Kanto, other bureaucratic/political reasons...
Each region internally has to decide which Pokemon they want to claim as theirs, and then submit their selection for registration as a set. Every region is doing this at the same time, however, so there's a lot of "first come first served" logic going on. So whenever one region has pushed their group through and been officially registered, the other regions have to revise their own selections, resubmit paperwork, etc.
Pokemon are not necessarily listed with their evolutionary line in order/near each other because some stages are considered as belonging to one region over the others.
The Mime Jr > Mr. Mime > Mr. Rime evolutionary line is a great example of this. All of these Pokemon have been present in the Kanto, Sinnoh, and Galar regions for about the same amount of time. However, each one is considered to be specifically part of one region over the others for many reasons.
Going chronologically in the National Dex order, Kanto pretty much only cared to register their Mr. Mime form that is more commonly seen throughout the region. Because they knew their choices would be registered first, and since they already had a large set of Pokemon, they decided to let other regions scrabble over the other Pokemon in Mr. Mime's evolutionary line. This decision mostly affected Galar, but we'll get to that in a bit.
Next up is Sinnoh's claim to Mime Jr.! They were able to more quickly register Mime Jr. because of the region's love of cute baby Pokemon. Most of the other regions didn't even bother trying to claim most of the baby forms precisely because of how strongly they tied in to Sinnoh culture.
Finally we get to Galar and its struggles in registering their Mr. Mime variant and Mr. Rime!
So, as previously stated, Kanto had a large part in forming the National Dex. One thing they did was make it hard to register different variants of the same Pokemon, especially if they were regional variants of Kanto's claimed Pokemon.
Essentially, once Kanto decided that a Pokemon species was officially registered, it could not be registered again. Makes sense right? Except that Kanto applied this rule to regional variants.
Regional forms were stuck in this weird space where everyone knew they existed, but they weren't officially recognized. Registration applications including regional forms were often denied on the grounds that they were invalid because that particular species was already registered with Kanto :))
So Galar had a lot of difficulty getting their own Mr. Mime through. Even if it was drastically different in appearance, was even a whole different typing, AND had its own evolution.
If anything, the existence of Mr. Rime was used as evidence against Galar's Mr. Mime. "You can register Mr. Rime because it's a completely *new* species, sure! No you cannot say it evolves from Mr. Mime because we don't have any Mr. Rime in Kanto, the Official Home of Mr. Mime. No you cannot register your weird Mr. Mime, we've already got The official Kanto one and he does not look like that. No you can't register it with incomplete data, it clearly comes from that unstandard Mr. Mime, which we will not register because it's Wrong."
Eventually people became more in favor of recognizing regional variants and Galar was finally able to submit its set of Pokemon including their own regional forms and region-specific evolutions.
And that's why Mr. Mime is "from" Kanto with a regional variant in Galar, comes from Mime Jr. which is "from" Sinnoh, and conditionally evolves into Mr. Rime which is "from" Galar, even though they're all the same evolutionary line!

the way each game slowly drifts further away from the pokedex being important makes me weep
(which doesnt help when over half the dex gets cut from each new game and the national dex is fucking dead except in a paid cloud service)
the past few games what was once its own device has just been relegated to a phone app and its so optional now you get like one npc per game that even cares
I just want to complete my silly little pokedex! Everything else just gives me more tools to make that goal easier for me
Legends Arceus truly is my favourite 3D title because the pokedex is the focus and I’d love more games along those lines.
-SV Spoilers under the cut-
SV almost had me hopeful that the pokedex would be more of a focus when they ask you what your goal is at the very start but theres no additional dialogue other than from Jacq if you pick the pokedex as your goal except for Nemona saying ‘hey i know you said you wanted to do the pokedex but what if you did something else as well’ Even answering ‘to complete the pokedex’ in the champion interview results in you failing! but that was my honest and true answer as to why i was even battling the E4! I just wanted to get into Area Zero to collect more pokemon lmaooo
more pokedex focus in pokemon games pls i am tired of becoming champion all the fucking time just let me be a little guy doing thier silly little research
ive played Arceus 5 times over its the perfect little game for me

I wanna work on some art and organization projects, but right now literally all I can focus on is Pokémon. I'm building a really gimmicky competitive team (I don't play competitively at all, I just like making competitive pokeymans) and I'm miffed all over again that Game Freak nerfed normal types' move pools so badly and took Return from us. On the other hand, I'm having to get very creative about how to utilize some very weak Pokémon in unexpected ways...

my pokemon hot take is that whenever they add a new pre-evolution or evolution to a pokemon they should adjust the pokedex so the line is all next to each other
