Reddit reviews Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield: The Official Galar Region Pokédex
We found 5 Reddit comments about Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield: The Official Galar Region Pokédex. Here are the top ones, ranked by their Reddit score.
I just found this, and I find it interesting, because we might be able to make estimates based on what the National Dex book has: 772 Pages.
Each page in that had 1-2 Pokémon on it, based on the Amazon pictures, I and I’m assuming it had mega evolutions too. So, I believe we’ll get at least 500 Pokémon, if not more, if we are getting around 61% of the Pokédex, which we know megas are gone, and the total number will probably go past 900.
Wanted to share this to see what others thought.
Here’s the Amazon link to the Galar Dex.

Galar Pokedex Guide
Page count in that book is 448. Traditionally there has been a page a Pokemon in the Pokedex books. With 20-30 pages of fluff.
They could change but I doubt it. I think we'll get slightly north of 400 Pokemon given that book.
We have 807 right now, if they add 125 new ones which is in the mid range for all generations but high for the last few that's 932 but I also consider Megas to be Pokemon 48. so that's 980 Pokemon. There are also 18 Alolan forms so that's 998 apx.
So we're probably losing 500 to 600 Pokemon individually stat'd Pokemon.
If you count Unown and Vivillon and other such things by form then significantly more since Pokemon with a lot of forms will be main targets to eliminate.
It'll be the largest Regional dex but be the smallest amount of Pokemon since Gen 3 I think.
I'm not sure on previous releases but for SWSH the guidebook is being released soon after the game, but the pokedex book isn't for another month. Although because of the pokedex situation there likely won't be a big national dex book, so I'd suggest getting the one for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon if you want a coffee table type book.
The dex is a seperate book, that Amazon keeps pushing the date on too. That one says 12/20 on my order at the moment.

I'm also getting the Galar Pokedex: https://www.amazon.com/Pok%C3%A9mon-Sword-Shield-Official-Pok%C3%A9dex/dp/1604382058/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=galar+pokedex&qid=1573047289&sr=8-1
Unfortunately it doesn't release until December 20, but for me it's a collector's item, and I'm sure I'll still need help filling out my Pokedex by then, or catching and/or breeding better Pokemon!
