Meh, this is the first time I couldn't really care less about a dex expansion. Alola's dex issues are super exaggerated and more because of bad distribution than too few Pokemon, the actual Pokemon available were pretty satisfying. Past dex expansions have been to fix actual deficiencies in the variety, not just to add more Pokemon to the areas. Platinum fixed issues with type variety (such as DP infamously only having 1 non-starter Fire type in the dex), BW2 added old Pokemon back into the game when BW had just new Pokemon. People that have been pushing for dex expansions in remakes like ORAS or potential Kanto sequels can point towards similar variety issues to DP. But Alola? Alola doesn't have any of those problems. It has a little more 1st gen Pokemon and a little less new Pokemon, but that's about it and I don't expect a dex expansion to fix that issue. So a dex expansion of old Pokemon doesn't really excite me in this game. It's just throwing in a bunch of old Pokemon that I could've used in another game if I wanted but decided not to. Not exactly a game changer at this point.
