What older Pokemon do you want to have in the SV Pokedex? And which Pokemon can you see not being in the dex?

Most of the rest are hard to say, but of course things like Riolu, Zorua, Larvitar, Pikachu and Meowth are always in. Also Magnemite and Psyduck which have been in every dex ever.
The Zubat line has also been in every regional Dex.

Other Pokemon that have been in every dex since debuting...

We know that Drifloon is in. I can see Basculin as well, maybe Zoroark. Dhelmise and Drampa. And I could see Araquanid.
 
Like, Clauncher kinda confirms Skrelp in as well.

Seviper confirms Zangoose.

Depending on which other Version Exclusives are in getting confirmed, that kinda confirms the other one as well

For example: If Drampa gets confirmed, that semi-confirms Turtonator.

We can also safely assume Eevee is gonna be in the dex.
 
And yet there are literal space-time distortions in Hisui that bring things like Porygon-Z from the future to the ancient past. So why couldn't it also go vice-versa and bring ancient Pokemon to the present? It's literally not even that different from bringing back Fossil Pokemon into the modern era. In fact, it's less so by a considerable margin, as those Pokemon went extinct millions of years ago.

Treating the Pokemon world like it has to adhere to the rules of our own is just not going to work.

I don't think Gamefreak are as caught up on realism or "what makes sense" as much as some fans are. Some fans were jumping through hoops trying to figure out how Gamefreak would justify Hisuian pokemon appearing in later games when the reality is they're likely not going to justify it...or at best they'll just say it has something to do with time travel or interdimensional portals. Basically the Pokémon equivalent of "a wizard did it".

It wouldn't shock me if a few gens from now regional variants just started popping up in the wild in other regions. (like how fossil Pokemon have just started appearing in the wild recently) Or they'll introduce a feature similar to the space-time distortions where regional variants from other regions can appear.

It's honestly not at all hard to justify. "These Pokemon were thought extinct until a small population was rediscovered" or "captive breeding programs have restored these Pokemon to sufficient numbers to begin reintroducing into the wild." Boom, done.
 
Yeah, if there are Pokémon in hisui that look identical to heir modern versions elsewhere, I don’t see why the opposite can’t be the case. Especially when there’s literal fossil Pokémon roaming around in sword and shield

There is just 1 isue.... no cinccino
 
Because it was already in SwSh and USUM. The point is to suggest underused and missing Pokemon, Cincinno is neither.

I mean, if that is your argument, lets go over your list.
Trapinch line was in both gen 7 and gen 8.
Natu line was in USUM and SWSH
Mudbray being introduced in gen 7, was also in gen 8.
Druddigon was in USUM and the SWSH DLC. Even if we don't count the DLC, it has been in XY as well.

And there are more as well.

Natu/Xatu have been in several recent regional dexes, but not a lot overall. Before USUM and SwSh, it was just in Johto and Hoenn.

Also, there was a third criterion I used (I just didn't mention it in that reply, but if you look at my first post I did mention it there), and that's Pokemon that can provide type balance to the dex. That's why Trapinch, Druddigon, and Mudbray are in, I know the first two especially have been used a lot, but I included them to give the dex enough Dragons. Probably a bit presumptuous to worry about type balance when we don't know what new Pokemon will be in (and I'm guessing there will be more than one new Dragon family added because they've taken to trying to get a bit more Dragons into the National Dex), but it's something to monitor, we don't want more Flint situations, especially not in a next gen game.

Also we do know that blissey is in the game, she wasn't on your list, even tho, she wasn't, if I'm correct, in gen 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 with no dlc.
Also also, sadly, we now that they select pokés mainly based on popularity, for marketing, it isn't necesarilly a bad thing, bt it can get a few pokemon under-exposed, meanwile others the opposite.

And yet Greninja, the most popular Pokemon in the world, hasn't been in any games since Ultra Sun/Moon. So it's not really a hard and fast rule. It could be the reason it hasn't been in the games in a while is because Greninja's a starter Pokemon of the Kalos region (if they include one they'd have to include the others in theory) but they've given it special treatment before solo (SM demo.)

There's been other examples of one member of a trio appearing and not the others. Charizard was the only Kanto starter in SwSh until the DLC, and the other member of the Hisui starters' trios did not appear in LA (i.e. no Chikorita, Totodile, Snivy, Tepig, Litten, and Popplio).

Starters are the exception, in my opinion, all of them, are at least a lil bit popular, but there is almost never other starters, exceptions beeing Kanto, and Hoenn for some reason

That's true too. So then what's their excuse for Greninja?
