So apparently in famitsu, they say they're considering just having the animations/models they made for Sword and Shield just carry over to the next game and so on, so it does sound like they basically just started over and they'll be adding more back each game.

EDIT: Also said there will be some way to play with the Pokemon you can't transfer over in Home.

But from everything we've seen so far, they've just reused the models and animations that they've been using since X and Y. Even if they're going to redo the old ones and it just hasn't made it in the game yet, the new ones have to be as good as they're supposed to be and the old ones don't look out of place. Just keep the old stuff until you can get around to fixing it. It worked in Gen 4, so why not now?

And honestly, I don't trust GameFreak when it comes to which Pokemon are good enough. These are the people who cut Kotora twice. We're going to lose some really good stuff.

But if they're not giving us the whole National Dex anymore then there's no real excuse not to go back to large batches of new Pokemon.

There's no real excuse for GameFreak to do half the stuff they've done, and they've still done it.
