Writers wrote themselves into a corner, needed to come up with some BS to get themselves out. And of course they had to do it with the stupid Galar Fossil...

I think the ship has sailed on "Region Exclusive Shinies", the closest you'll get being a Shiny for newly introduced forms or a Regional Variant. As my post quickly went over, I feel what we have for Shiny Pokemon is mostly what we'll ever need. I have a lot of thoughts so I'll try to go over...

(Probably be easier if I went backwards than trying to catch up where I last left off...) I think you're overthinking things. Especially since newer gens have more distinct Shinies than previous gens. The reason earlier gens had a lot of lackluster Shinies is likely due to 2 reasons: They...

That's certainly an unpopular (Pokemon) opinion. I feel Iron Jugulis would be much more like if all the head and the "wings" weren't attached to the body, give it a bit more of a unique appearance. Well, actually, what would have made it REALLY popular if they went back to their tank design...

Actually I think it's more of a "hey these islands are over here and we need some out-of-the way locations". They included not because they think Japan owns them or as an "open door" to make a Russian region later, they included them purely for geological reasons. The first four Pokemon...

The following is all speculation: I see Haunter's glowing hands being akin to Pokemon sprites that have a dynamic pose. While not initially part of the Pokemon's design, it gives the Pokemon some character. Stock art & 3D models are so focused on making sure you get an good & accurate look at...

If they're going to have the Color category they need to let each Pokemon have at least two colors. It somehow looks even more naked. :blobthinking:

Except the Beast Trio appeared soon after the Tower burned down, would anyone even had thought "oh, those three were Pokemon who perished in the flames". Though, saying that brings up another possibility: An important building was just destroyed by phenomenal circumstances and then these three...

HERE'S GALAR! Raboot & Cinderace: Change from white rabbits to gray rabbits. Being sport players, the navy part of their faux clothes (track suit for Raboot, sport uniform for Cinderace) turn to white possibly referencing them being on another, possibly rival, team. Sobble, Drizzile &...

With there being a ton of Eevee Outbreaks, tried my luck and: Caught it in a Premier Ball, I think it matches close enough. ... No, I won't be going after anymore. Took an hour to get this one and I'm no Shiny Hunter.

I agree with mostly what you said, though I want to point out one correction: The Rocket Trio (Jessie, James & Meowth) were (often portrayed) incompetent. But Team Rocket as a larger organization under the leadership of Giovanni? That's a whole other story. Not that it seems to matter. Have...

Anything that updates/reset Tera Raids (connecting to the internet, the clock hitting 12 midnight) does so in both Paldea and Kitakami. There's no way to update one map but not the other. Which makes sense, even if you're not in that region you can still view the other region's map (and their...

I tried looking up both Lunge's and Pounce's Japanese name but no matter what angle I approached it nothing. It MAY have to do with the first two Japanese characters that appear in both Japanese names (and are the only characters they share): とび , which seems to be the Japanese word for "jump"...

If only they would do that for Flying-types (a generic move that doesn't have to do with the Pokemon being a bird or having wings).

Part of me just wonders if it just has to do with how people have grown up with Pokemon for years (and some its been there their whole life). Pokemon does not shy away from sexy designs (for trainers or certain Pokemon; oh, and for both genders though obviously woman are more subject to this)...

Carmine: Where's Ogerpon? Me: At the Bank. Carmine: What?! She finally opened up to someone and you sent her away! Go get her! Me: Nah, she's fine. Carmine: Why? Me: She's been a mountain hermit for how many years? If she's going to be part of modern society she needs to learn how to save her...

For those wondering: Patagonia is the Southern tip of South America, a part of Argentina & Chile (which means the region would more than likely be based on Argentina & Chile, just like Paldea is the Iberian Peninsula which is both Spain & Portugal). Speaking of which, would that be too similar...

A lot of Shiny Pokemon nowadays have an additional reference to them. Quickly going over the Paldea Shiny Pokemon: Lechonk & Oinkologne: Based on the black colored (Black) Iberian Pig (though there are other black colored pig species), Shiny turns pink referencing the more well known color...

Though if they want to do a polar region they do have countries like Canada (+ US State Alaska), Greenland/Iceland, Norway/Sweden/Finland, and also New Zealand.
