You know they the whole past Suicune paradox mon from the DLC could be hinting at a legends game that takes place In Johto where get the original 3 Pokémon that wound up becoming Suicune, Entei, and Raikou.I wouldn't say no to a Legends Celebi that serves as a direct sequel to LA. Rei/Akari and a detachment from the Survey Corps head to Johto (likely driven by a desire to learn more about Arceus and the Unown), where they assist natives in building the Sinjoh Ruins; Rei/Akari would be instrumental to this, as (presumably) the only person to ever lay eyes on the Hall of Origin that the Mystri Stage takes inspiration from. While there they learn about Celebi, who Rei/Akari sees as a means of returning to their own time period. What follows is a quest that, among other things, leads to the creation of the GS Ball (probably involving Lugia and Ho-Oh in some way) as part of a quest to catch Celebi and get its help to return home.
There's something there.
I have no issues with Wiglett’s concept or design. My only issue is that if it’s a new, unrelated Pokémon to Diglett and we should treat it as such, then why call it Wiglett? Name is quite jarring and contradictory
Similar DNA? Says who?I personally don't see how.
Lore wise, I like to think that it was named bearing Diglett's heavy resemblance in mind. It's probably also meant to be a pun on "wiggle it", which makes sense considering its behavior. The two pokémon probably also have similar DNA, but slightly different enough to classify them as separate species.
Directly from Bulbapedia:
Wiglett may be a combination of wiggle, water, and Diglett.
I was thinking it was more of a pun on “wiggle it.” The -lett suffix isn’t that unusual to be part of a Pokémon’s name that is unrelated to Diglett since we’ve got Ducklett and Golett.I personally don't see how.

Lore-wise it wasn't really named, right? Pokémon say their own names, no one is naming themI personally don't see how.

As for why the devs decided for a similar name I just think they wanted to reinforce the conection between the two pokémon (and it is a funny name)
Technically it is a new PokemonWigglet? really . . . I was hoping for a NEW pokemon or gameplay mechanic.
Wiglett IS a new Pokémon. There are many animals that look nearly identical to another animal but aren’t really related to them. The non-venomous kingsnake looks very similar to the venomous coral snake and will cause people to panic if they aren’t familiar with the way to tell the two apart from one another. Butterflies also incorporate mimicry of poisonous species to make birds not want to eat them.Wigglet? really . . . I was hoping for a NEW pokemon or gameplay mechanic.

Again Wiglett is just an example of species mimicry. There are so many animals that look like other species that typically use them as defense mechanisms. Frogs, snakes, butterflies, and even birds have species that look nearly identical to another.So they say, its a recolored diglet with an elongated neck from gen 1, we already had alolan diglet enough is enough!
