With the total number of Pokemon rising to over 1000, not every Pokemon can make the cut to be in a new Pokemon title, and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are no exception. While the games feature a Regional Pokedex of 400 Pokemon, both new and returning, this means that a lot of Pokemon were left out of the latest generation of Pokemon games - at least for now, until possible DLC releases later. In total, there are 605 Pokemon from previous generations that cannot be caught at launch, though some of those will be available through Pokemon Home transfers when the service updates early next year.
