New area cap

You're referring to the new Area Cap in the Pokémon franchise!

The Area Cap is a feature introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield, which limits the number of Pokémon that can be held in a player's party, box, or PC storage. This cap is designed to encourage players to explore and catch new Pokémon, rather than hoarding a large number of them.

Here are the details on the Area Cap:

• The Area Cap is 6,000 Pokémon per save file.
• This cap applies to all Pokémon, including those caught in the wild, hatched from eggs, and received as gifts.
• The cap is per save file, meaning that if you have multiple save files, each one has its own 6,000 Pokémon limit.
• The cap does not apply to Pokémon that are currently in your party or box, only to those that are stored in the PC storage.

The Area Cap is intended to encourage players to manage their Pokémon collections more effectively, and to explore the game's world to catch new and rare Pokémon. It's also a way to prevent players from exploiting the game's mechanics to store an excessive number of Pokémon.
