I saw this coming a mile away, and, unsurprisingly, I'm not bothered by it. Because I feel that this little "issue" is more-or-less a testing phase. I feel that, over time, Home and Gen 8 will get patched and/or updated to further accommodate the massive influx of Mons just sitting in Bank. They'll probably use Galar as a test to see how much the Switch can handle, and, if everything goes accordingly, they'll either allow non-Galar dex Mons to be transferred on a later date, or they'll wait until the potential DP remakes to do it. Frankly, I don't feel it's the end of the world, nor do I feel it's a deal-breaker, and I feel that people are getting extremely worked up over it. Besides, they probably wanted to get the game out before Christmas, so they had to do something to ease production. And it's not like patches are unheard of, like Smash Bros, Spyro, and so on tend to get extra updates and patches here and there, so I feel they'll patch/upgrade everything when they know if the Switch is able to handle it. Remember, the Switch is powerful, but not as powerful as, say, the PS4, and this is the first main series Pokemon game on Switch, so there will be at least a testing stage during the time the game out to see if it can handle everything.
Frankly, it's fine with me, as it'll give the region a chance to shine on its own without something else (like Kanto) overshadowing it. I rather like the whole "start-from-scratch" idea, as it means there will be new toys to play with and experiment with, as well as giving me a lot of BW vibes. As for Home, I feel that, over time, it'll be adjusted to accommodate what it needs to hold, along with the Galar games. And even if the Galar games don't get upgraded completely for that task, if they do DP remakes, they could always use those games as the National Dex holders. If anything, like XY, Galar will probably be a test region to see how the Switch handles the games and its contents. If it works out, then future games will be far more streamlined and accommodating. So, I really don't feel it's the end of all existence because you can't transfer over a few Mons. Give it some time and we'll see what happens next, as it's a bit too early to be getting so revved up and wanting to strangle someone. If there's one thing I've learned when it comes to stuff like this, it's that you have to be flexible and roll with it until you're absolutely sure that they won't fix the issue over time. That's my 2 cents.
