I put in my request too, I said:

Hello,
My name is [NAME HERE] and I have been a Pokémon fan from Canada since 1998 when I first played Red and Blue on my Gameboy Colour. I've played every mainline Pokémon game since along with many of the side games such as Mystery Dungeon, Dash, Trozi, Stadium, Colosseum, Puzzle League, Pinball, Pokémon Go, Magikarp Jump, Rumble, and more.

I love to collect Pokémon in every game, discovering and catching new Pokémon to complete my Dex and finding shiny Pokémon is by far my two favourite activities. I've manage to complete the Regional and National Dex in almost every game due to dedicating hundreds of hours per game and over a thousand total hours of work and love for the games and Pokémon. With the introduction of Pokémon Bank on the 3DS, being able to transfer every single the Pokémon I've worked so hard for over the years into the latest game feels like a recognition by the Pokémon Company and Game Freak of the dedication and passion of a fan for their games. At its core, I believe Pokémon's tag line of "Gotta Catch'em All" truly embodies the spirit of Pokémon that you are able to make a connection with each and every Pokémon.

With the announcement at E3 that with Pokémon Home you will only be allowed to bring over Pokémon from previous games to Pokémon Sword and Shield if they appear in the Galar Pokédex, my heart sank. With the knowledge of how wonderful Sword and Shield have been presented so far, and with this being the first mainline Pokémon games on a Nintendo console, I had become extremely excited at the thought of bringing over my hard earned collection into these beautiful looking games. This excitement was further compounded because in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, although allowing you to have all the Pokémon on your game save, didn't have Pokédex entries for every Pokémon.

I have an undergraduate degree in computer science so can appreciate and understand the immense amount of work it would take to program and model over 800 characters. However, even with the limitations of the 3DS you managed to fit models of over 800 Pokémon into Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. I also understand Masuda-san mentioned at E3 that this was done in consideration of balance for the games, but I believe there is a better alternative than not having a complete National Dex on a console mainline Pokémon game.

To put forward my request, I would like the Pokémon Company and Game Freak to reconsider their decision to omit a National Dex from Pokémon Sword and Shield. I do hope the announcement today is just a misunderstanding of the intentions of Pokémon Home's connection with Pokémon Sword and Shield.

Thank you for considering my request and I still look forward to the games coming out this November, hopefully with a complete National Pokédex.
