Pardon the bias, as ~600 Pokemon were cut, but they cut Absol, my baby. Make your own of your favorite if it got cut!

I'm bitterly disappointed that they left out Absol... :(
Houndoom and Lycanroc, too! Those are three of my top 10 favorite Pokémon of all time!

They may be planning on dlc to slowly bring all the Pokémon back and wanted to make sure that they finish the game on time.

I sure hope you're right...
