But not every pokemon would be rotated out every game since some staples like Pikachu and Eevee are probably going to appear in every games since they're the mascots essentially. But I do think they plan to rotate the available pokemon so everyone gets to return at some point, it's just a matter of when.

With Sinnoh remakes being continually hinted at there's no way Yanmega isn't making a return sometime soon, that's for sure.

Really hoping for those Sinnoh remakes, that being a big reason!
Yeah, regarding the rotation of Pokemon thing. The big thing to consider is that just because a Pokemon wasn't present in SwSh it doesn't mean it's absolutely 100% guaranteed to return in the very next set of games coming out. There's a very good chance that some Pokemon will be passed over for returns multiple times in a row, so for all we know we may very well go entire generations without seeing some species again. And for people who like to use teams with all their favorites it would especially suck because for all they know there will never again be a game where every single one of their favorites will be together again. Like, idk if I will ever again be able to have a team consisting of Jolteon, Flygon, Houndoom, Lapras, Butterfree and Breloom, for example. And the same thing goes for Scytherwolf: sure, the possibility of Sinnoh remakes carry hope for Yanmega, but that doesn't mean anything for Scyther and Heracross...

Oh and that's not even getting into people who like doing theme teams (which by the way, are incredibly fun as heck). Like, how are you gonna make a "full bear" team when there's no longer just enough bears to go around? That's one example of many.
