Just goes to show you how good Gamefreak is at "balancing" things! The power creep has been horrendous. Really started with Gen 4 but accelerated more and more ever since. Look at most Johto mons compared to modern ones and its mind-blowing seeing the differences in stats and competitive viability.

[@xhomiegreninjax137]

@@BackwardsHat Yeah, there has been a bit of a power creep, but honestly I'm not sure if looking at Johto for comparison is fair because it's just a really weak generation over all. The Pokémon in Johto are considerably weaker than the ones in Kanto and Hoenn since a lot of them are just incomplete or bad. Johto was way below average even before the power creep.

[@klaghzyn8124]

Ledian just needs its third stage evolution still.

[@1992holycrap]

@@BackwardsHat They've always sucked the most dicks at balancing, ever since Gen 1; all they really know how to do when they have something that's "OP" in one generation is to either nerf it to the point that it's completely useless(#justice4talonflame) or add a new thing in the next generation that's even *MORE* "OP"(hey there Dynamax).

I remember in one of the b2w2 movies, there was this ledian that was the main “villain”, I feel if we had the movie series now orbeetle could be a good fit, especially since you create a time time machine and the ledian lives in a world where bug types rule and use people as Pokémon.

[@Dusknoir1010]

Regarding Unova, that feature actually applies to pretty much all of the routes.

[@kdavous]

I always thought Galar’s name was a little play on how people with English accents occasionally add ghost R’s at the end of words ending with vowels. Naming your region GalaR forces even people without English accents to add that ghost R to the region name. Could also be a play on the word Gala, not Galar, which might fit a little better

[@dland6616]

And if you take account of bad pronunciation it could also be "Ganar" ("to win" in spanish) since the L and N sounds are so much closer than others

[@junamboqcg2369]

I also thought it had something to do with the word "gallant" somehow.

[@charleslavoie7622]

I have another theory for why the Galar region is named as such ! 🤓 In French, Wales (a part of Great Britain) is called "Pays de Galles" which translates to "Country of Galles". "Galles" is a frenchyfying of the germanic word "Walh" which means "speaking a celting tongue", and gave the word "Wales" in English. So I really think "Galar" could come from "Galles" or "Walh", as it relates to the Celtic roots of the region. Funny enough, I found out that another word for "frenchyfying" is "Gallicisation", which kind of turns that whole thing over its own head 🙃

[@pedrosegundo8109]

[@justinjyeung]

Not sure how intentional it is, but Whitney being the leader of Goldenrod City, which is based on Osaka, apparently had a Nippon Professional Baseball team called the Osaka Kintetsu Buffaloes, so that could even be the reason they changed her ace from Aipom to Miltank? XD

Actually, Ladyba is more of Super Sentai (The original Japanese version of Power Ranger) more than Ultraman. And the fact that Orbeetle can Gigantamax just like the villain make it better.

[@zneuger6746]

I have to be honest, I don't agree with the theory link between gym leader Chuck and Chuck Norris. If Chuck in Johto was meant to be an in-game version of Chuck Norris, he would be virtually unbeatable, just like his real world counterpart. Instead, he's actually one of the easiest Johto gym leaders owing to the variety of Psychic and Flying types available prior to his gym, not to mention the Ghastly line being available during the previous gym in Ecruteak City. If Chuck was meant to be Chuck Norris, he would be at or above the level of Red at Mt. Silver!
