>not a single native monDo Galarians really?
>>59213641all of those pokemon are native to galar, retard
>>59213641>every single one's earlier form can be met in the wild in galar>not native???
>>59213641cute croagunk
>>59213655>>59213661You know what I fucking mean. Pokémon that DEBUTED in Galar.
>>59213867How would people in-universe know which Pokemon debuted in Galar, retard?
>>59213875Professor Oak
>>59213641That changes by the time you get to the end of the game
>>59213641Kanto Pandering Region
>>59213898>you can't have a poster of a cool komodo dragon on your walls you HAVE to stick posters of local dogs and cats from your street
>>59213641Surprisingly not as bad as Kalos LMFAO
>>59213641There's no native Galarians in real-world Galar either.
>>59213918Kalos is such a pushover region even years later
>>59213909Komodo Dragons being more popular in your native country than native animals is a failure of national pride. Which explains why lions were so beloved in Eurocentric regions because they didn't have cooler animals
>>59214016>because they didn't have cooler animalsCertainly it wasn't because of mass amounts of deforestation and possibly superstitious bullshit...
>>59214016i'd rather have no animal than the BALDing eagle
>>59213655>>59213661>>59214016nta, but honestly, Charizard being native to Pokémon UK makes a lot of sense. It's a winged lizard that breathes fire, not a carp dragon like those from Japan or a deer chimera like those from China. The same goes for Gardevoir being native to Kalos.They were possibly taken from Europe and brought to Asia where they became invasive species, like what happened with Zigzagoon.Or the case of Exeggutor where a natural migration occurred, as they were coconuts arriving by sea all over the planet but reducing their size as they moved away from Alola.
>>59214016but Machamp and Gengar are native from OP's region so wtf are you complaining about?
>>59213898Oak's a retard who didn't conduct field research at night time a SINGLE TIME in his decades of commitment to Pokemon research (hence why Houndour and Murkrow weren't discovered until GS), and also didn't think to start showing love and care towards his Pokemon until after Red became champion, leaving species like Espeon, Umbreon and Crobat as completely unknown to the world despite how easily they could have been identified.
>>59214048If we follow real life, then the Pokémon that hail from offscreen regions would come from the followingChina>Arcanine>Urshifu>Treasures of RuinIndia>Gumshoos>CopperajahSouthern USA>CorphishBrazil>QuaquavalArctic Circle>Manaphy
>>59214248Also Mew from Guyana, though the ingame location of Faraway Island seems to be an area off Guyana's coast, judging by the implication that Fuji returned Mew there.
>>59213655Where is Charizard found living in Galar? If you can't find it then it's not native.
>>59214278It's babies are in Hammerlocke Hill dens
>>59214278
>>59214260In the original Japanese it's actually the spelling used for French Guiana
>>59213867That distinction only exists in the real world but as far as the characters in-universe are concerned, those Pokemon just live there and always have.
Can someone do me a favor and make a reddit comment? I swore off the site, but I need to inform someonehttps://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/1svxqz5/ice_was_overnerfed_in_gen_2_and_never_recovered/Comment this:This was largely because Ice(namely Blizzard, especially on Articuno and Lapras) was a fucking monster in Nintendo Cup format, which influenced a lot of the balancing changes in Gen 2.Fighting was buffed even harder than originally planned when Gamefreak realized what a monster Tauros was, and Snorlax was buffed because he sucked ass in Nintendo Cup due to his slow speed making him vulnerable to being put to sleep, frozen, or OHKOed(OHKO moves were tied to speed back then).(And if you're wondering, Snorlax is a beast in RBY OU because Smogon rules, by complete accident, remove every single one of the weaknesses crippling him in Nintendo Cup. Sleep spam removed, freeze spam removed, evasion removed, OHKO moves removed, not to mention Nintendo Cup was Pick 3 and thus extremely offensive oriented while RBY OU is 6v6 which makes stalling viable, and Blizzard got nerfed in Japanese Yellow and RBY Western)
>>59213641>>59213918KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIM GONNA FUCKING CUM OH MY GOD I FUCKING LOVE KANTO SO MUCH IT'S THE BEST REGION EVER OH MY GOODODODD OHUUUGUGHH CCCUUMMINGKANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOI NEED TO CIRCLEJERK IT HARDER OUGUGHHHHGH GH IM C CUMMING AGAIN GUHGU KANTOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>59214377>IT'S GOOD DESPITE IT'S TYPING!!!I hate this retarded campaignshitter phrase so fucking much
>>59213641It's kinda pathetic how gamefreak wants people to like machamp this much
>>59214377Can you link a source to this?If so I'll post the thing. I mostly agree with it and I like being helpful, but I do want to make sure I'm not posting misinformation
>>59214753It's more pathetic how you monkeys ignore Game Freak's primary consumer market is Japan and all those are normalfag-tier popular in Japan.
>>59213641It's pathetic.But you can't really blame them because all Galar mons fucking suck. kek>>59214383This so much. Couldn't have said it better.
>>59214876Machamp propaganda bitch didn't even get in the global poll 2020 lol
>>59214077AhkshuallyOriginally Pokemon were newly discovered creatures that had basically popped into existence only recently, and the Gen 2 mons simply appeared more recently then the Gen 1 mons
>>59214969>only recentlyUntrue. If you knew your old lore you'd know Pokemon have existed since effectively time immemorial, they just didn't start becoming apparent until humanity started getting smart enough to separate Pokemon from animals. Fuckers were researching and partnering up with them as far back as the 1700's, before Oak's time there was Count Tajirin, famed for documenting 30 species of Pokemon and being the main inspiration for the Poke Ball in-universe, after he watched his drugged out Primeape shrink down and crawl into his glasses case to rest and recover and getting the idea that people could use such a reflexive mechanism to their benefit.
UK based region. Have you seen natives in the UK?
>>59213641>furfag bait>barafag bait>redditmon>most NPCs are gay>villain and champion are Indians>icon pokemon are from a Japanese region (Kanto) hmmm
>>59213918The Kalos starters are just that shit
>>59214961>yet again ignores the point to cry over google resultsAnd that sure did change the fact Game Freak put Champy front'n'centre in SS because Japanese women love the fucking thing, huh?Oh wait, yeah. It didn't. It just mindbroke some gaijin retard who assumed she was still the target market for the thing, yeah.
>>59213655Charizard is still native to KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and JOHTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO since Tajiri's lore said piles of CHARIZARD shit were found in Mt. Fuji aka Mt. Silver.
>>59215986It was Professor Nishinomori who drugged his Primeape and came up with the idea for the poké ball, you confidently incorrect retard. Count Tajirin WAS a character in the OG lore, but he only discovered the existence of the things, humanity as a whole didn't start studying them until LONG after his death (because the discovery of pokémon is an analogy to Baron Cuvier's establishment of comparative biology and palaeontology fields, which then acted as the driving force for the acceptance of the concept of extinction and that fossil bones found may be from an animal humans never saw before) culminating in the elderly Nishinomori accedentally overdosing his Primeape and reacting in shock as it shrank down and hid in his glasses case.The NEW lore started from Gen 3 and detailed in passing in L: A absolutely assumes humanity and pokémon were together from the start and that humans worked alongside them to better their overall lives. But that's separate from the early Gen 1 lore, before Tajiri had passed it off and accepted the real world elements had to be excised.
>>59213641VOLUMES
>>59216377No one cares about machamp though
>>59213641This is what made Hoenn so strong - you don't see a single old mon until the 2nd gym. Only a third of the dex is old. It's the best balance.
>>59216509I knew SV was going to be a flop as soon as I saw a Skwovet in the character's house. Why not have a Fidough or Dachsbun? They're right there.
>>59213641>These mons all have Dynamax forms >>59213918>These mons were the first Mega forms Why is this so hard for people?
>>59213641>>59213902I like the whole New Starters rising in popularity by the end of the game
>>59213655no they arent. theyre native to kanto. just because petilil is in hisui doesnt mean its native there. petilil is native to unova. falinks is native to galar, yet can appear in kalos.
>>59214037>BALDing eagleIt's Bald Eagle, which refers to the white color of their head, not a lack of feathers. Also, the alternative was calling them the "Crown Eagle" but it should be obvious why the Americans didn't want to do that.
>>59213898he's dead by now anon
