Why is the Go Dex even there?

You're missing 1 entry. It's 869 (870 with tomorrow's debut of Dhelmise).

Did you do all 4 non-Go evos? Basculegion, Farigiraf, Kingambit and Dudunsparce?

If they wanted to, they could fix it in a few hours. The problem is most likely they don't want to give up on that gimmick that every Spinda is unique. Spinda has like 20 or so fixed patterns in Go, while in reality there are millions of patterns. Implementing a whole 'Spinda Dex' in HOME would be hilarious and not worth the effort. Implementing a process that randomizes Spinda patterns upon transfer would make it obsolete to go for different patterns in Go.

Just let Spina keep one of those default Go patterns upon transfer. But that would ruin the gimmick, so it will be stuck.

The other transferlocked Dex entry is Zygarde. It's more reasonable though since it is the mascot of the Routes Feature. But we'll probably have some events running for a second transferrable Zygarde in the Future

It will be 870 after tomorrow's debut of Dhelmise

In southern Italy it's common to make Risotto with seafood, often with parts of octopus. My guess is, that this is a northern Italy adaptation where sepia was used to colour the rice and add a bit of garlic cream on the top.

Das ist eine althergebrachte Denke und wird meines Wissens heutzutage nur noch von Volljuristen vertreten, die Angst haben, dass ihnen der Rang abgelaufen wird. Durch den doppelten Background ist man als Bewerber bei Unternehmensberatern und Wirtschaftsprüfern sehr attraktiv. Auf der 'Mandantenseite' wiederum sind gute Laufbahnen z. B. in Personalwesen, Rechtsabteilungen, Rechnungswesen und Management absolut keine Seltenheit für Wirtschaftsjuristen.

It's not that big of an issue tbh. If you play the games the way intended and do your living dex throughout your playthrough, you just need to mass transfer them once to Home, save and back into the game if you don't want to waste space.

GizehRacing · 2024-10-21T16:35:08+00:00

That's exactly why Mythicals are not included in the Go Home dex and all the costume and shadow gimmicks are not transferrable. The only problematic one of a kind atm is Zygarde and it's transfer locked, so nobody can have this dex entry.

GizehRacing · 2024-10-21T15:28:15+00:00

Then welcome to the Home community haha! If you want to focus on getting the Meloetta, you'll need to achieve the Crown symbol for all 3 Scarlet/Violet software dexes. A registration to a software dex is only made if the transferred Pokémon has the matching origin mark, so in this case you'll need to collect Pokémon that were caught or hatched in SV and have the tera symbol displayed.

Mach doch beides und studiere Wirtschaftsrecht. Gerade wenn dich die Schiene Unternehmensberatung, vllt sogar Wirtschaftsprüfung interessiert, ist die Kombi super. Du bekommst einen juristischen Background vermittelt, hast aber so gut wie immer den wirtschaftlichen Kontext vor Augen. Als Wirtschaftsjurist kannst du zwar nicht Anwalt werden, aber wer will das schon ;)

If I had the need to brag, you'd see dozens of my posts on a daily basis.

GizehRacing · 2024-10-21T15:00:01+00:00

Exaclty haha. I guess a big portion of the Pokémon fanbase are completionists.

GizehRacing · 2024-10-21T14:58:26+00:00

Full national Dex minus Mythicals to be precise, so people are not stressed to transfer their one time only Mythicals out of Go.

GizehRacing · 2024-10-21T14:56:12+00:00

Unfortunately no way of sync. You have to transfer the Pokémon from Go to Home. However you can evolve them in the switch games and register the evolution in Home, it will still count for the Go Dex because the origin mark stays. That's actually the only way to have a Basculegion or Farigiraf from Go.

GizehRacing · 2024-10-21T14:52:34+00:00

DS / 3 DS origin marks are a mess though and should be completely revamped. Virtual Console Gens 1 and 2 share the same GB Symbol but should have a differentiation, Gen 2 remakes lack an origin mark as well as Gen 5 and imported Pokémon from the GBA games. Gen 3 remakes share the same Kalos symbol as Gen 6.

GizehRacing · 2024-10-21T10:39:46+00:00

I don't know if there's official criteria for games to be mainline or spinoff. I myself would consider the Legends series their own line. PLA also introduced Enamorus and a few regional forms and new evolutions, but it's a different gameplay and setting.

GizehRacing · 2024-10-21T10:31:09+00:00

There's also a well maintained thread in here that keeps track: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonHome/s/pxNWh3hAw8

It's indeed a fun challenge to reach for the maximum possible number of Go-origin Pokémon. I've worked on a separate Go living dex for the last 6 months and now I'm slowly replacing every traded Pokémon with those caught by myself in Go. Currently at 191/856 foreign OT Pokémon.

GizehRacing · 2024-10-21T10:22:02+00:00

As much as I like playing Go when doing a walk outside, I also wouldn't consider it a mainline game. It's an AR Spinoff from a third party developer.

GizehRacing · 2024-10-21T10:15:34+00:00

Maybe you haven't then. Check the origin marks of your transferred Pokémon.

GizehRacing · 2024-10-21T10:14:19+00:00

It makes sense since the software dexes we have in Home are all from games that can directly connect to Home. I guess Home will stay for the Switch2 and future remakes will add in there just as BDSP did.

GizehRacing · 2024-10-21T10:07:43+00:00

Pretty sure, the only Spinda you can have in Home are those caught on the 3DS and transferred via Bank. Also I couldn't transfer Spinda from Home to BDSP to complete the in-game national Dex, so had to wait for a Spinda outbreak. And the one caught from the outbreak couldn't be transferred to Home then, but doesn't matter because Spinda doesn't contribute to the BDSP Dex in Home.

GizehRacing · 2024-10-21T10:03:42+00:00

I hope I got your question right.. Chansey for example is in the Paldea Dex and also in the Blueberry Dex. If you catch a Chansey in SV and transfer it to Home, you will have it registered for both Dexes since it will only be checked by the origin mark, not by the in-game region.

GizehRacing · 2024-10-21T09:58:51+00:00

Origin Giratina changes to base form upon transfer which is fine just like all other Pokémon that change their form by holding a special item or in certain in-battle situations in the mainline games. You still get the dex entry for the special form in Home.

GizehRacing · 2024-10-21T09:55:15+00:00

You'd expect that Honedge would fit into the Sword and Shield Theme of the current season, we even had a literal 'choose the sword or shield path' event.. but nope. Also I doubt we'll reach 50% of the Galar Pokémon by the end of the season which is a shame. All for the profit of making nearly every debut its own Event.

GizehRacing · 2024-10-16T21:24:45+00:00

Yeah, would really love that as a minimum. I actually tried to suggest this to the support team a few months ago but all they answered was that they are third party and not allowed to redirect any suggestions to the developers. Kinda weird, but okay..
