Luckily for me, the Galar region in Pokémon Sword & Shield (Generation 8) was the first time that not all Pokémon from that point backwards was able to be obtained. Though many players hated that idea, I saw it as a blessing in disguise. Trying to find 1000+ Pokémon was hard enough, and trying to catch them all? Not even the immortal Ash Ketchum has the patience.
