>>57180962From the Pokemon themselves?

>>57181040Professor Phorus' real name is Dr Lin/Rin, she was created by order of Tencent, the Chinese company that created Pokemon Unite along with TPC, she was born in the Aeos Islands, an island in nowhere, but her family is originally from another region, similar to Plumeria from SM.She will be reconnected the moment a Chinese region is created, add Arcanine and Parasect to that list.
