Game Freak says no decision has been made to bring non-Galar Region Pokemon into Pokemon Sword & Shield via an update

A tiny sliver of hope

If you were holding onto hope that non-Galar Region Pokemon could make an appearance in Pokemon Sword & Shield via a post-game update, you'll have to hold your breath awhile longer. Famitsu has an interview with various members of Game Freak, and when they were asked this question, Game Freak's devs stated that they have not made a decision on the matter at this time. They did go on to say that those Pokemon not supported in the game will still have an active role via Pokemon HOME.
