#Galarian varient

[pokemonlolitaproject]

Today is World Goth Day! Let's have some gothic lolita al la Pokemon #146 Galarian Moltres

[spookberry]

My controversial pokemon opinion is regional varients should have stayed in alola bc the pokemon company doesn't understand the point of them anymore.

What was once a cool reference to how real world animals can change wildly from their mainland counterparts to survive on an island is now just "let's take old pokemon and make them more british/spanish/etc" and I really hate it. Not all of them are bad, mind, but a lot of them have no justification for why the pokemon is different in this region and this region only.

Controversial indeed.

But im confused, Are you referring to annihilape, wooper, and tauros? None of those are "more spanish" i dont really get what you mean there. Galarian weezing is the only variant that really becomes "more British" imo but that seems completely justified since its a play on like the Industrial Revolution.

Also i personally love regional variants and I think the usage of convergent evolution is really neat and funny. It allows the pokemon company to continue adding new designs and concepts without having to build entirely new things cuz lets be real we have over 1000 we dont NEED tons of new pokemon rn. And theres So Many good pokemon that could get revisited in new interesting ways.

I hope we get a regional variant of meowth thats like, a calico at some point thatd be cool.

Also consider the original pokemon that are all getting regional variants were from kanto/johto which is based on japan whereas galar and paldea are european. Two pretty far separated places even if we dont know how far apart they are in the actual pokemon world, developing regional variants makes a lot of sense to me

Theories for the rest of Lucius' Pokemon

So what we know based on looks are these images:

Spoilers ahead

We already know Arboliva and Galarian Moltres, which, I'll be honest, don't look that much like the drawing. So I'll take some creative liberties in my theories for the rest of the pokemon.

Starting with the easiest: the water pokemon. Many people have suggested Lapras, and I am also one of those people. Lapras makes sense shape-wise, and can DEFINITELY travel across seas. It's quite literally a ride pokemon in multiple games.

With that said, I also have a few other candidates if we are deprived of Lapras. Those being Gastradon, and Drednaw.

Neither really look like the image, but we've established the images aren't the most accurate. Drednaw has an extendable neck so it could still resemble the image, and Gastradon is a real tank so it would be pretty formidable for Lucius to have. Plus, they're water types, which I'm assuming is a requirement?

Moving onto the crashing-through-walls pokemon, I don't have the strongest guesses for that. Immediately, I think of Mienshao because it's a fighting type and has sleeves that resemble the drawing, though it doesn't really match-color wise. Which makes me think of Sandslash as a possible candidate, not too sure there because it's a "basic" pokemon, but I didn't expect a pokemon like Arboliva either. Finally, we have Kleavor! The show hasn't strayed from using regional varients, and technically Kleavor is extinct. Though, the pokemon are implied to be pretty old so maybe they'd let it slide? Kleavor makes the most sense to me. Only downside is lore-wise it's not supposed to exist. Personally, I hope it's Kleavor just because of how well it matches.

For the last pokemon: the biggest indicator we have is that the front paws are a different color than the main body (eliminating choices like Arcanine) and the tail seems like it could be relevant rather than artistic flair. The first pokemon that comes to mind is Entei. I hope it's not, solely because there's already three main legendaries in the cast and I'd like to have other plot-relevent mons. Raikou is also said to race across grasslands and has a small star shape at the end of its tail, so both of them are strong candidates for me. Hopefully horizons throws me a curveball with a pokemon I don't expect though!

Long post, but those are my theories! It would be cool if I was right about at least one, though I'm sure it'll be a while before another appears.

Also, I wonder if the RVT crew has realized that Rayquaza is leading them towards each of the Six Heroes? It seemed like weird coincidence with Arboliva so I don't blame them there, but with 2/6 caught surely they'll figure it out soon.

So, to summraize:

Kantrio 2.0, what if we just did the same roles again?

Kanto Birds 2.0, it's different because the first anniversary set was Galarian varients.

Red and Blue are metadefining powerhouses, Leaf might be worse than Hilda and May.

3000 free gem event compared to 10,000 in prior years.

Fewer free gems than prior years two months running, with the deficit over these two months being over 12k fewer (four multi pulls).

Paid banners that still need full spark for the Master Fair, for one (1) cake.

Lodge Select Scout only has three PokeFair options, not all of them.

Sygna Suit Leon hasn't rerun for over two years, but here's a 5000 paid gem (approx. $35) select scout if you want

Fourth anniversary disasterfuck indeed.

ANYWAY ILY HOPE YOU HAD FUN BYEEEE

GEOOOOO HELLO :D

OKAY SO LIKE I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE I DO HAVE A TIER LIST....somewhere. I don't know where it went. So I'm going to name them all off the top of my head :3

First ever favorite was leafeon or Arcanine so they both hold a very special place in my heart

MIMIKYU AHHHH HE'S SO ME FRRR

Luxray cause *pretty*

Rockruff and lyconrock <3

Ninetales!! I adore foxes and she is just. RAH.

Litten

STOUTLAND MY BOY

LANA OR BONNIE I HAVE A SEVERE ATTACHMENT TO BOTH OF THEM but Lana probably wins for this one my absolute lovely silly girl akgkakgj I love her so much <3333 she is also peak character design. To me.

It's a tie between Fletchender (idk if that's how you spell it) and Rockruff and pikachu lmao

FLETCHENDER

ROCKRUFF

AHHHH this is so hard- but it's probably gotta be James' martinie (also don't know if that's how you spell it) from sun and moon cause that pokemon loved him so damn much

Mistyyyyyy

Like besides team rocket? Because team rocket is first, and tbh a lot of the other ones don't really stick out to me lmao but that might just be because I haven't watched it in awhile

Lanaaaaa

Ooooo okay. Design/character wise it's poipole, but I used to watch this series on YT which was basically ARK but with Pokemon instead of dinosaurs and they had a ladios and ladias I got very attached to so yea :) OH AND ZIGARDE IS HE A LEGENDARY? I think he is. But I don't know specifics tbh lmao. Love him tho. Lil squishy.

Uhm. All of them. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PICK JUST ONE- okay but if I had to choose it'd be Rockruff + lyconrock (I get both cause they're evolutions I'm so smart) cause snuggly dog/wolf I love. And Stoutland. OH BUT WAIT WHAT ABOUT A FLYING POKEMON THEN I COULD FLY. HOLD ON. Okay I have just looked at literally all the flying Pokemon because I got carried away and here's my favorites that I feel like you could probably ride:

Noivern

Corviknight

Talonflame

Salamance

All the legendary birds + their galarian forms especially

Aerodactyl my beloved <3

Okay so I don't really but I dunno if you've seen that post where that one guy as a kid bred tons and tons of lapras because it said they were endangered and then I'm like 90% pokemon actually changed the entry to be that they used to be endangered but they're not anymore and I just. I love that so much.

Grass or dragon probably

Oooo okay I'm gonna go for a mix of powerful + my favorites:

Lycanrock

Mimikyu

Arcanine

Eevee (but like specifically Eevee from Let's Go because she gets so op by the end of the game it's insane)

Luxray

Ninetales

Rotom Dex :3

I don't think I have one tbh

Oooo okay. Most of these are gonna be aloha ones- the one where they visit the Pikachu island and there's like 10 million different Pikachus, the XYZ one that's all of them in a flower field (chespin and eevee in that episode are so cute AHHHH), the one with Lana and Mallow trying to find Grandpa Forest (Drampa) using bittersweet

Actually the way you listed them is in order of my most favorite to least favorite lmaooo (starting with mega evolution as my favorite)

Lana, Bonnie, or Ash

Hmmmm see I have three different outlooks on this- the coolest, the most useful, and the best for humanity.

Coolest would be a flying ride pokemon like Articuno because we could all literally just fly around everywhere in giant birds. How sick would that be.

Most useful would be ditto without a doubt BECAUSE he can shapeshift into anything. You need another helping hand? Dittos got you. You need fire to cook something? Dittos got you (Charmander or fire type). Need a pokemon that can lift a ton of weight? Ditto. It just works for everything.

Best for humanity would be Drampa. By far the kindest Pokemon in my opinion. We need more of that

Hmmm like in what way? Like z-crystal type stuff, or the way he acts with his pokemon? Cause I absolutely love the way Ash acts with his pokemon in battle (usually) and he generally just cares so much about them and doesn't push them too hard and AHHHH. Just. Yes.

Favorite game is Pokemon Snap (the new one) lmaooo- I don't care it's not a traditional game I have hundreds and hundreds of hours on that game it's insane I love it sm- that's the one where you get to travel to all different regions and capture photos of Pokemon and there's lots of different courses you get to go on- and as you level up a course you can photograph pokemon doing different behaviors, and try and get them to do different things by playing music or feeding them and I just love the animations in that game and how cute they are and just AH. YES. LOVE.

Besides the og one, probably the XYZ theme song or the original alola one

ALSO THOSE STUPID BITCHASS MONKEY ONES AH I HATE THEM JUST IFSJDJFJSJ BAD BAD BAD BAD LIKE THE RED GREEN AND BLUE ONES THEY ARE BAD. Honestly I don't really like most of the monkey pokemon besides smeargle. Jinx I also hate.

Uhhhh that snowball ass one. I forgot it's name

Goh

All of alola

OKAY THATS JT I THINK LETS GOOOOO WOOOO THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTIONS GEO :DDDD

[blueberry-blastoise]

Burnt Caramel Vulpix Sundae: What's your favorite regional variant Pokemon? Is there a Pokemon that you like the 'regular' form of over it's regional variant?

@no-1-bestest-rocket-grunt

Oooo this is a fun one. Favorite regional varient I'd say would be Alolan Vulpix, those guys are so cute! I actually much prefer normal Corsola to it's Galarian counter part

[sorrow--wolf]

Fusion #87

A regional varient for Golemitan, an alolan golem/Galarian Darmanitan fusion

I kinda wanted it to be cute for some reason, since I can't help but view golem as "cute". I don't know why I do, but considering I also think eels are cute, it's probably from the same section of brain rot as that. It also kinda reminds me of Mario because of the mustache I gave it.

Anyway

It's a rock/ice type and it's abilities could include Gorilla tactics, magnet pull, or sturdy

Time for the sweet shiny baby!

[cckittycreative]

Galarian Ponyta

I wanted Pokemon Sword, but if I need to get Shield to get this Ponyta, I absolutely will. I love this fluffy little pony!!

Wayfaring Stranger p.2

Pairing: Raihan x GN!Reader

Part 1

Word Count: 2415

Summary: A flying-type gym leader from Unova shows up in Galar and causes quite a stir in the trainer community. Raihan overhears a conversation he probably shouldn’t have. He invites Y/n to Leon’s mom house for a weekend getaway.

Warnings: description of what reader wears, mention of a missing Unova gym leader (Definitely not Ingo 👀)

A/N: The song mentioned in this is actually called Have You Seen My Sister Evelyn? by Evelyn Evelyn! Let me know if I should continue this one or not!

Y/n’s bomber jacket and hair fluttered behind them as their Togekiss sent off the strongest Air Slash to the enemy Garchomp Raihan had ever seen. A crazed smile filled Y/n’s face that could only be describe as excitement. Raihan found himself on the edge of the bench he sat on, waiting for what Y/n would do next.

Raihan hadn’t noticed how long he had been there until Y/n announced the last battle of the day had just taken place and the tent was closing. Y/n hadn’t taken one proper break, the longest they took as to heal and feed their pokemon, not eating themself.

As people filed out of the tent, Raihan found himself once again swimming up stream towards Y/n who was talking on the phone.

“You still haven’t heard from Ingo? I’m really starting to get worried, Emmet… No, there hasn’t been any sightings of him in this region… Of course, I’m asking around!… Yeah, yeah I know.” Y/n’s once fiery eyes were now much darker as they spoke on the phone. A deep sigh came from them as they listened to whoever they were on the phone with. “Have you asked that kid, what was his name? Ash? That kid travels a lot too. He might know something… Oh,yeah. I was able to catch the local Zapdos varient. It might be able to help us. I’ll let you know if anything come from it.”

Turning around, Y/n finds Raihan standing not to far away and pretending to not be listening in on their conversation. Raihan’s face failed him, the shock of hearing they caught Galarian Zapdos evident on his face.

“Sorry, Emmet, I have to go. That dragon trainer I was telling you about is here… No, I’m not going to ask him if he thinks air or train travel is superior. That’s fucking weird. I’ll call you back later. Bye.”

Y/n hung up the phone, walking up to Raihan and speaking, “you’re not going to insist I come with you to dinner right?”

“Well, you have a party to set up for right? You wouldn’t have the time for that.” Raihan riffs back.

“No party tonight. Sunday and Monday are my days off and I like to start that on Saturday nights.” Y/n explains, walking to the back office of the tent.

Raihan follows them as he speaks, “so you are free for dinner.”

“Unfortunately, no. Not sure how much of that conversation you heard, but I’m busy even on my days off.” Y/n begins placing their pokeballs in a portable incubator and humming out, “I’ve got a missing friend, an irate legendary pokemon in a master ball, and about about four hours of sleep in me. So, I’ve got more pressing matters to attend to than having a fancy dinner with an attractive guy.”

“Thanks?” Raihan couldn’t figure out if he should be sad at the dismissal or flattered at the compliment. “I was just going to suggest some food cart curry though. Who’s your friend? Maybe I’ve heard something. Were you close? It sounded more that just a friend when you were talking about him on the phone.”

Y/n paused for a second before slowly turning towards the tall man, a disgruntled frown on their lips, “We are close. Closer than close. He’s a gym leader with his twin brother in Unova. And frankly, our relationship is none of your business.” Y/n’s arms crossed infront of them, weight shifting to one leg, scowl dropping to the ground, becoming something sadder as they continued, “But no, we aren’t together. Those two are like older brothers to me. His name is Ingo.”

Raihan took another step forward, left hand raising to gently hold Y/n’s right elbow. Y/n’s gaze lifted, looking Raihan in the eyes again. They watched as Raihan’s face flipped between emotions; sadness, and pity is what he settled on before something flashed behind his eyes, a smirk finding his lips exposing a small fang.

“Hey, I know just the thing you need. Leon’s mom makes some of the best curry in Galar, and Leon invited me to his mothers for the weekend. I’m sure I can get you an invite; his mom loves me.” Raihan’s voice slowly filled with excitment.

His face reminded Y/n of how the twins would always insist they come over and have dinner after long work days at the station and airport. And just like then, Y/n found themselves following this practical stranger out of their tent after packing an overnight bag and up onto their Dragonite, following Raihan’s Flygon across Galar. Y/n had not had the time to explore more of Galar other than the surrounding area of Hammerlocke and the subway station, so this was a perfect excuse to venture out further.

The two trainers would try to fly the distance in one go, taking about 3 hours to get to the bottom of the region typically. What Raihan hadn’t accounted for was his own flygon not used to traveling longer than 30 minutes at a time. He watched Y/n’s Dragonite deftly ride wind gusts and creating it’s own when needed, while Flygon struggled to keep up speed. Halfway into their trip, Raihan signaled for them to land. Shifting on Dragonite, Y/n follows Raihan to the outskirts of another large town.

“Sorry! I don’t think Flygon will be able to fly me any further. It’s not used to flying this long with someone on it.” Raihan calls over to Y/n as he hopes off Flygon and calling it to its pokeball.

Reaching around and into their bag that was slung across their bag, Y/n pulled out their trainer belt. Unlatching a pokeball from the brown belt, Y/n threw the ball out towards Raihan. Catching it, he looks up to Y/n who is jumping down from their Dragonite.

“What’s this for?” Raihan questions.

“Give it here. You can ride Dragonite the rest of the way.” Y/n took the ball from Raihan, throwing it and revealing Galarian Zapdos. “This’ll slow us down a bit since we’re not as familiar with each other, but I’m sure it’ll be fine.”

Raihan stands there shocked, watching Y/n mount the regions legendary bird, a pokemon he only had rare sightings of in wild areas. Y/n pet it’s neck before getting it to take flight up into the air. They struggle of a few moments, but Y/n is able to find a rhythm with the pokemon. Looking down, Y/n sees Raihan looking towards them, a child-like wonder filling his eyes.

“You coming or not?” Y/n called down to him.

Raihan quickly climbed onto Dragonite, the pokemon giving him nearly no time to adjust before taking off into the sky. The sun was setting when the pair finally land in Postwick, the home town of the Galar Champion. Both dismounted the pokemon, Y/n calling both back to their pokeballs.

“Now, I have to warn you,” Raihan started, walking up to the front door and gently knocking on it. “This family is loud, loving, and not afraid to point out every one of your flaws.”

Y/n laughed as the door swung open. A young boy stood in the doorway with a wide smile on his face.

“Raihan!” The kid jumped forward, hugging tight around Raihan’s waist.

Raihan hugged the boy back, “Hey, Hop. Is your older brother here yet?”

“He was. Mom made him run into town to pick up more MooMoo Milk.” Hop spoke quickly as he led the two inside.

“Oh, good. You’re here, Raihan.” An older greying woman catches sight of him, crossing the kitchen to hand him a knife. “Go finish cutting the chicken for me. It’s the part I hate the most.”

“Hello, Marie. This is Y/n, they’re a gym leader from Unova. They know Isis. Thank you for letting them join us this weekend. Y/n, this is Marie, Leon and Hop’s mom.” Raihan spoke politely as he followed the woman into the kitchen, washing his hands after her and starting to cut the chicken.

Marie crossed back over to Y/n who stood near the couch and holding out her hand, “of course! Any partner of Raihan’s is welcome in this house.”

Y/n reached out, taking Marie’s hand in their own. “Sorry, there must have been some kind of confusion. Raihan and I aren’t together.”

“Oh! My apologies. I just assumed you were with how he spoke of you over the phone.” Marie voice full of skepticism.

“Oh?” It was Y/n’s turn to be confused.

They hadn’t heard Raihan and Marie’s conversation since he stepped out of the battle tent to make the call. Y/n couldn’t think of how he made her think such a thing since they barely knew each other. Y/n’s thoughts were cut short by a Wooloo running between them and Marie.

“HOP!” Marie called over her shoulder towards the front door.

In the entrance stood two guilty look boys, Hop and Leon putting on unconvincing smiles towards their mother.

“I swear to Arceus! Get that Wollo out of my house, or you won’t have any dinner. Neither of you!” Marie called to her boys, crossing now to stand infront of them and point in the direction the Wooloo ran.

Both sons went running past their mom, Leon quickly handing their mother a jug of milk. Y/n laughs at the motion.

“I’m done cutting the chicken,” Raihan reentered the conversation.

“Oh, perfect. Go show Y/n how to satee it. I have to go make sure that pokemon doesn’t distroy anything.” Marie waved Raihan off, handing Y/n the jug of milk and disappearing after her sons.

Raihan and Y/n stare at each other for a moment before Raihan turns and speaks over his shoulder, “she’s going to find more ways to get me to cook so she doesn’t have to. It’s best not to fight it.”

Y/n walked into the kitchen, putting the milk in the fridge. They settled to the side of Raihan, leaning against the counter and watching him cook in silence for a few moments. The silence was accentuated by the occasional reprimanding coming from another room.

“Sooo, why does the Galar Champion’s mother think we’re dating?” Y/n smirks in a playful taunt, looking up to meet Raihan’s eyes that were already on them.

Raihan chuckles, looking back down to the pot infront of him quickly, “since I don’t tell her about a lot of people in my life, she assumes every new person I mention is my partner.”

“You talk to your friends mom on the phone often?” Y/n’s eyebrows knit together.

“She calls me when Leon doesn’t answers her calls. I don’t have it in me to ignore the kind woman.” Raihan sighs, turning the stove low to simmer.

Fast footsteps coming from the room pulls the the pairs attention as Hop comes flying into the kitchen.

“You have an Archeops??” Hops eyes were as wide as his smile.

“Yeah,” Y/n chuckles at the boy, “I do.”

“And you just mention this now? Come on, you have to show me.” Hop pretended to be offended before grabbing Y/n’s hand and pulling them you through the front door.

Raihan watches Hop and Y/n disappear out the door and Marie and Leon, Wooloo under his arm enter the kitchen. Leon follows the other two out, Marie coming up to Raihan.

“Leon was just telling me how Y/n runs an airport in Unova. They apparently are close with the subway masters there and even sings with them to raise money for the public transit there.” Marie spoke casually, looking up at Raihan for his reaction.

“Y/n sings?” Raihan turns to Marie with a confused look on their face.

Marie smiles, getting the exact reaction she wanted. “Yes! Leon showed me a video from Isis of them at their last performance! Here, I’ll show you!”

Marie pulled her Rotom out, pulling up the video and handing it to Raihan. The title of the song scroll along the top of the screen, ‘Have You Seen My Brother Emmet?’, as a jaunty station piano begin to play. He watches as Y/n and a man jump down some subway stairs and begin to sing. Their movements were perfectly in sync as they danced around each other and interacted with the audience.

Y/n wore what Raihan assumed was their normal gym uniform; a pair of beige pants, an off white buttonup tucked neatly and held in place with their belt that held their pokeballs, their same bomber jacket but with less patches it has now, and a pair of pilot’s goggles atop their head. The man they sang with wore a long black trench coat with thick brown stripes. He wore a train conductor hat with the same colors, and a purple tie and white gloves. Sudden realization hits Raihan. If they were singing about Emmet, that must be Ingo in the video with Y/n.

The two were pulled from watching the video by Y/n singing along to the video as they walked back into the house, Hop close on their tail.

“Is it possible that he could be in Timbuktu or Katmandu or Vegas or Uzbekistan? He learning how to do-do The Chattanooga Choo Choo? Oh golly where could that boy be?” Y/n finished singing, turning and grabbing hop by the hands and swinging around the front room for the rest of the song.

Raihan couldn’t help but smile watching them having fun. Leon came in before the song ended, closing the door behind him and walking over to the his mother and friend in the kitchen.

Marie tugs on Raihan’s jacket sleeve, pulling him down so she could whisper in his ear, “they’re nice. You should keep them around.”

Raihan’s heart tugged at his chest. He hadn’t felt this happy in a long time, but it stung all the same. Y/n hadn’t moved here, they were just passing through. They’d be gone in a month, onto another town looking for their missing friend. He’d probably never see them again. How’d this obnoxious traveling gym leader weasel their way into his heart so quickly? And what’s stopping him from just dropping everything and following them on this journey?

[pokehaviors]

So, I've been wondering, is there any notable difference in the temperament of Galarian Wheezings and the Alolan grimer line to their kantoan varients?

Yes, actually!

While Alolan Grimer and Kantonian Grimer tend to be generally similar in temperament, Galarian Weezing are noticeably much calmer and placid than their regional variants. It’s currently unclear why that is, but it’s very possible that it has to do with the toxin levels inside their bodies, and how it’s processed and expelled.

[the-exhausted-xexandaler]

Just for fun I decided to count how many of each generation of Pokémon are missing from the Sword and Shield pokedex excluding varients and the actual Galarian Pokémon which is 100%.

Here are the results;

Kanto missing: 34; 22% of 151

Johto: 33; 33% of 100

Hoenn: 48; 35% of 135

Sinnoh: 41; 38% of 107

Unova: 30; 19% of 156

Kalos: 20; 27% of 72

Alola: 10; 11% of 88

Total: 809

I was trying to figure out if Sinnoh had more Pokémon in Gen 8 per percentage, and low and behold it does indeed have the most Pokemon missing.

Though tbh I welcome people correcting my math. Please and thank you.

[surging-insurgence]

What makes deltas different from other variants I'm confused

type changing, and in the case of here (torren/pokemon insurgence), they look greately different! you could technically say they are a regional varient to torren, but thats not the case for all of the deltas. we put them into a type category because unlike normal region variants, like, oh, galarian darmanitan, which changes from fire to ice (which can naturally occur) or alolan raichu, who gains a type, deltas are greatly changed from their original forms. take the delta shinx line. they go from being fully electric types to dual steel/poison types, which can't happen naturally. they we're artificially created by the perfectionist cult. not all deltas are created artificially, like delta grimer, but they only naturally occur in torren.

[vo-kopen]

So I made a few Pokémon lists recently

The first list I call Gen 1+. When Lets Go Pikachu and Lets Go Eevee came out, I had some petty frustrations. Not so much that it was based on Gen 1, but that a lot of those Gen 1 families were incomplete. Like it bothered me that you would have Horsea and Seadra but not Kingdra, or have Porygon but none of its evolutions. If you want to focus on the original Pokémon, fine, but don’t leave their family’s incomplete. Especially since you included Alolan forms. It bothers my obsessiveness. So the first list was a compilation of all Gen 1 Pokemon, Gen 1 Alolan and Galarian region varients, and evolutions and baby forms of Pokémon originally introduced in Gen 1. It ended up with 209 Pokemon, with regional varients and Galar exclusive evolutions counted separately. I did not include Mega Evolutions or Dynamax/etc because they are temporary transformations and not permanent evolutions or forms.

If anyone is interested, I can’t list all 209 Pokemon here because tumblr would not let me, but at least here is the type breakdown. Apologies if I miscounted. And just in case it needs saying, these count Galarian regional varients and their evolutions, so the totals might be a bit of a spoilers. Also in case anyone is confused by my intent, this is just my wistful thoughts on what LGPE could have done. It would still be retelling Gen 1 and focusing heavily on that Gen, but now with a little bit more inclusion of Gen 1’s legacy and actually complete families. Also now a dragon type trainer could have a three person team of Alolan Exeggutor, Kingdra, and Dragonite. That way their team is not just from the Dratini family, but they aren’t use fake dragons like Charizard and Gyarados. Anyway, type breakdown below.
