Pokemon fans are accusing the developers of being 'lazy' for not including all 1,000-plus Pokemon in the new Nintendo Switch games

"Pokémon Sword and Shield"/Nintendo

Charizard will appear in "Pokémon Sword and Shield," but its unclear which of the other classic Pokémon will make the cut.

• "Pokémon Sword and Shield" are the newest Pokémon games, and they're coming to the Nintendo Switch on November 15th.
• "Sword and Shield" will introduce hundreds of new Pokémon, bringing the total number of Pokémon in the franchise to more than 1,000.
• However, players wont be able to catch every single one of those Pokémon in "Sword and Shield" - a first for a new game in the Pokémon series.
• The new game takes place in a region called Galar, a fictional land loosely based on the United Kingdom. That's why upset fans have dubbed the controversy #Dexit, a take on Brexit. 
• Pokémon producer Junichi Masuda said chosing to exclude Pokémon from "Sword and Shield" was a very difficult decision, but urged fans to embrace the new games.

Pokémon fans have been in an uproar since hearing the news that "Pokémon Sword and Shield" wont have every Pokémon in the series.

Arriving on the Nintendo Switch on November 15, "Sword and Shield" will add hundreds of new Pokémon to the franchise - but will also be the first games in the main series where you won't be able to catch every single one of those past critters. 

Counting the upcoming additions from "Sword and Shield," there are now more than 1,000 Pokémon in the franchise. The Pokémon Company, the entity behind the game, says that it has merely chosen to prioritize the critters that best fit the new game, rather than spending the time to include every last one. 

But fans who have spent years migrating their favorite Pokémon between each new adventure in the series aren't happy, and it's led to quite the controversy - some fans are calling the new games "lazy," alleging that developer Game Freak is putting "low effort" into the first main-series Pokémon sequel on a home console. 

The decision to exclude some Pokémon from "Sword and Shield" has led to a new hashtag sweeping across the world of Pokémon fandom- #Dexit. 

The name is a cheeky reference to Brexit, the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union - made more apropos by the fact that the game takes place in the Galar region, a fictional land that's loosely based on the real-life United Kingdom. The "dex" comes from the Pokédex, the in-game encylopedia of every Pokémon species.
