I admit, when I first heard that Gamefreak was not going to bring back the National Dex for Pokemon Sword and Shield, I was hurt. So much so that I wasn't going to get Sword and Shield. But then not too long ago, someone replied to one of my comments saying something about how The Pokemon Company was the reason why Gamefreak did that. I'm not 100% sure if this someone had the right information or not, but the comment did make me realize that Gamefreak might be just as much of a victim in all this as we are (if not more so), and I therefore shouldn't completely shut out Pokemon from my life. Plus, after this realization, I've realized that even though Sword and Shield aren't the Pokemon games I was expecting, they are games worth playing. So I'm going to at least get Pokemon Shield, and enjoy playing it for what it is. If you have different opinions on the Pokemon Sword and Shield debate, that is perfectly fine, just be nice about it, and DON'T attack anyone who has a different opinion than you.
