In the minority but I could do without regional variants. I’m not mad that they’re here but I’d prefer evolutions. That’s why Obstagoon/Sirfetch’d really peaked my interest and I hope the regional evolutions aren’t overshadowed by regional variants
I thought that might be the case, I mean it's understandable if they want to use Kanto to market the games. I guess I'm just not totally optimistic that that's what they're doing. Every thing so far is making me think there's a very heavy lean towards Kanto in terms of gigantamaxes and regional variants.
I mean they didn't have any problem using non-Kanto Pokemon to introduce us to Megas. (and that was after Black and White)
It's been eight years! If the damage hasn't already been repaired, then GF need to hire better designers.
Assuming Galar Ponyta still evolves at level 40, if Rapidash does have a regional evolution you'd probably be waiting a long time for it, unless it evolves only a few levels later or with a new stone. I'd be happy with around ten regional variants and maybe four or five evolutions.I still kinda hope that G.Rapidash gets a regional evolution. I hope we get at least 5-6 regional evolutions altogether.
But Mega Mewtwo Y was literally the first one revealed. It even got its own movie.
A Dark type Drowzee, Hypno and Hypno Evolution seems likely to me.
Speaking of Galarian evolutions and forms. Do you all think that Sirfetched and Galarian Ponyta are meant to be counterparts? I know they were revealed as version exclusives on after the other and were both on that same magazine page. But something feels off, surely both on a marketing stand point and in general it would make more sense for their counterparts to be the same? By which I mean have a shield exclusive Galarian evolution to another single stage Pokemon and a Sword exclusive Galarian form? Since as things stand Shield has one Glarian form as an exclusive and sword a single Galarian evolution.
No I don't.
From a recent interview.
Okay last question about Sirfetch'd, I promise: are you going to have an equivalent that's exclusive to Pokémon Shield like Sirfetch'd is for Sword?
[Both laugh] SO: So there's things we haven't announced yet so that's as far as we can go, but there are of course regional differences and certain ones are awaiting you to discover in Pokémon Shield so hopefully you'll look forward to that.

Though eurogamer assumes it's Ponyta, it is not stated.
A Dark type Drowzee, Hypno and Hypno Evolution seems likely to me.
What if they haven't shown Bulbasaur and Squirtle yet because they got Galar forms?
Even just Venusaur and Blastoise.
I refuse to believe that Charizard is in and they are out.
I want Ralts regional variant inspired by Princess Diana.. that will never happen :/

Regular Gyarados line has already been shown to be in the games.
As for Pikachu, what type would it gain for just increasing its weight? It would also need more of a design rework just like Alolan Raichu. With Gigantamax, it allows simple changes and no type reworks needed.
Then a princess design would be cuteI don’t think gamefreak would base a design on a person with such a controversial story.
Don’t know how a design based on her specifically would work either.
If Ralts and family would get a galarian form I think it would be based more on the Shakespearean elements that are already part of the Ralts Line Design.
