That a tall order for a game that isn't even done with bug fixing and post game content. The dev team has not even implemented all the Legendaries in the game, though they should be working hard to change that (If they are not taking a well deserved break, that is). Adding more Pokémon and a National Dex, while it sounds easy to do, runs into 3 problems: What movesets are they going to have, How is the player supposed to acquire them, and the Inevitiatble oversaturation of the game with 'old' Pokémon.
While the 1st problem doesn't sound that daughting, keep in mind that several of the old mons that made it into this game don't have the exact same movesets they do in the base games, making it a bit of a headache for devs to decide what goes on each Pokémon. There is also coding abilities and their interaction with other Pokémon, but that is another issue entirely. Secondly, where is the player going to get all these Pokémon? If the devs just liberally sprinkle them throughout the game, then each route/area would be bursting with Pokémon, making finding a specific few quite hard. If that is not the approach, the devs would have to create entire new areas just for these new Pokémon, as well as Towns/Events for the player to interact with while catching them all (In order to keep them interested/invested). Finally, adding ALL of the Pokémon from past/current generations would just completely overshadow the stars of the show: Tandor Pokémon. People would feel less inclined to explore the possibilities of each new species when they can just fall back on reliable, tried and tested 'mons. All these issues don't even take into the account of all the time and effort the devs would have to code, test, and fix these additions.
Personally, while I'm a bit saddened by some items non-usage in the game, I'm okay with it, and rather accept that then add more Pokémon to this game. The devs already have a hard enough time as it is polishing the Uranium we already have....
