ILCA can’t just say, “Nah, we don’t like that, we’re adding all the Pokémon.” They’d run into the exact same issues.
Another thing to consider is that if ILCA included all the Pokemon, they'd be setting a precedent and Game Freak would come under fire for not doing the same in their future releases. If they want the controversy to die down, they need to be consistent and stick with their decision.
They're not gonna do that
I honestly find it unlikely that we'll even have the 493, and we'll just have the Pokemon you could find in the wild/get gifted/could trade for in Platinum. But as stated above, if we do get the 493, I'll be thrilled to reuse some old friends
Between Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, all Pokemon can be caught apart from the starters, and most of the legendaries, from other regions. I could see them repackaging Gen 4's National Dex as an expanded Sinnoh Dex, which you receive in the postgame and which includes all of the catchable Pokemon. The starters and legendaries could, like in Sword and Shield, exist in the game's code and be available to transfer in via HOME, but not appear in the Dex.
The Pokemon which previously only appeared if you inserted a GBA cartridge could become Poke Radar encounters instead.
