Today we have some possibly frustrating news to say the least. Something about Pokemon Sword and Shield that may effect just how you view the game. This news will be coming from Kaphotics, a Pokemon dataminer who has datamined the contents of Pokemon Sword and Shield.
According to Kaphotics, 144 moves have been removed from Pokemon Sword and Shield. If you try to transfer a Pokemon with a move that cannot be used in the game, the following dialogue will appear:
“This move can’t be used. It’s recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can’t be remembered.”
Most of the moves that have been removed include Z-Moves and moves that are obsolete, though there are some pretty strange choices, such as Return, Frustration, and Hidden Power.

That’s quite a lot of moves, what do you think about this news? Is it frustrating? Will it keep you from playing the game?
People are already questioning this move while others have already been anticipating the worst. Either way, quite a few souls were crushed by this news. The game is set to come out in two days, we wonder how this is going to affect sales.
