Now that the newest games have been out for a while I began to do a retrospective of Pokémon from the last games, specifically the G*lar dex, witch prior, and very well might still be, my least favorite dex among any of the games, note that by Dex I mean any new Pokémon the games add
Beforehand I only really liked Frosmoth and sandaconda, and a bunch of the regional forms, mostly runeagregius (probably not spelled right) and curseola, those two likely being among my favorite Pokémon period, as well as obstagoon of course, and although I don’t really consider Hisuian mon to be a part of the galar dex, if I have to include some I really like Hisuian samurott, zoarark, goodra, and basculegion
Let’s start with the two Regis that galar added
If I recall correctly, when these two were revealed, it was a fucking shitshow, I don’t think anybody really asked for more Regis, of course, you’d see art videos on YouTube making Regis for each element, but I don’t really think those correlated that well to fan demand, not to mention that the Regis, especially regidrago, initially seemed to impede rather heavily on the lore, how would Regigigas make Regis representative of the dark ages and modern era respectively if they were trapped in the bad bitch baby hole for the last couple of thousands of years, and initially I was on this bandwagon as well, but now that I have had time to reflect on these two Pokémon I think I like them a lot more then I origionally did
Starting with regidrago, I still heavily dislike this fucking thing, like look at it, seriously, what the fuck is that, that better not be a fucking charlizard skull, that overrated shit!, but in comparison to the “dude how did you mine bedrock” status I had it in origionally it’s a big improvement, granted there’s still a 50% chance it ruins the lore, wait, 50% chance? How could that be? Well the other day I was checking bulbapedia, as a cultist might frantically read as much of their religious texts as they can, and there was a note in the trivia tab that piqued my interest
“The five Legendary titans may collectively be themed after historical epochs, with Regidrago representing the Middle Ages, a period known for its legends of dragons. Alternatively, Regidrago may represent the Mesozoic, the era when dinosaurs walked the Earth which is also known as the Age of Reptiles.” -bulbapedia, regidragos page, specifically under trivia, in the “origins” subcategory
The Mesozoic era, and the dinosaur and dragons connection was already at least partially made thanks to tyrantum, Egad! This stupid looking asshole might not actually ruin the lore that has been previously established, and that was frankly half of the reason I hated this fucking thing to begin with, granted the other half is just as vast and numerous, but it’s only enough for me to dislike it, not hate it
As for Regieleki I’m honestly convinced the only reason this thing had a lot of backlash was because it was unfortunate enough to be introduced along with regidrago, but once you seperate the two from each other you begin to notice that regieleki isn’t really that bad, the most cringe thing about it is that it’s faster then nincada (nincada supremacy), but outside of that there is little problem to be had with it, especially lore wise
If we are to assume that regigigas was canonically released from its bad bitch baby hole in the origional sinnoh games, and that the time between the games is the canonical amount of years they are set apart from one another (as implied in black/white and black/white 2, as the two were released almost 2 years apart and they are canonically 2 years apart in universe, and to a lesser extent the gen 1 and 2 games as well) that means that the OG sinnoh games are 12 years apart from the galarian games (13 if you are counting the Japanese releases specifically and not the international releases) and although I’m not an expert on golem making, the pumpkins from Halloween have rotted and I don’t have enough cubic meters of snow or pure iron around to utilize said pumpkins, I’d imagine 12-13 years is more then enough time for regigigas to learn about the modern world and make a regi representative of it, and as such I actually kinda dropped hating it a long time ago and kinda like regieleki now
As you might notice I don’t actually hate these Pokémon anymore, granted I still dislike one but that’s quite the step up from hating both, and if they are doing pre-ice age time periods (as regidrago implies) I kinda wanna see them do more, imagine an aquatic based Cambrian one, or a molten-magma based hadean period, or an insectoid Carboniferous period, or a more mammalian one to represent the Cenozoic era more broadly, I think they actually used these two to open up a lot more potential down the line
Damn, that was a mouthful, let’s do it once again regarding the fossil Pokémon (this one will be shorter I pro-)
I initially didn’t like the fossil Pokémon Galar added, and to an extent I still think a couple of them are misses, granted, I think the concept behind them is pretty damn solid, it represents a period of time where a bunch of rich British assholes tried to farm prestige by making ad many new species of fossils they can with whatever random ass animal fossils they had lying around, ending up creating what are somewhat amalgamations of different animals that actually existed, and I think they execute the concept somewhat solidly, especially the ones regarding the fish head, the (albeit cartoony) bodyhorror astetic some of them have works really well with the concept at large, they just never sat right with me for some reason, probably because they utilized parts of Pokémon we haven’t seen before, and I guess that ambiguity might be part of the appeal, especially to a lot of people, but it didn’t really do it for me, I was mostly kinda salty that they didn’t add an electric raptor or whatever instead, and I kinda wonder if this concept might have been font better if they used preexisting fossil Pokémon parts instead, what kinda made this loss hit harder especially for a fossil fan myself is that Pokémon dosent really seem like they want to make many fossils anymore, they didn’t for Hawaii (witch makes sense, Hawaii is geographically new, and as such lacks many fossils) but the lack of any new fossils in paldea kinda ended up confirming to me that this was more coincidental then a homage to alolas geography, also, like, come on, it’s 10 generations now and we don’t have an actual raptor Pokémon, or a stego, or a plesiosaur of a dunkleo, witch is what I’m sure all four of the galarian fossil parts are based off of, actually we lack a triceratops too the fuck is up with that (bastiodon dosent count, fuck that thing, there is no bastiodon in Ba Sing Se), also, it kinda takes me out that the only person in the entirety of Galar who knows how to revive fossils is a crazy motherfucker that disregards the ethicacy of these Pokémon, like I know that’s kinda accurate to British politics but COME ON
… honestly I’m not sure if the fossil rant was longer or shorter then the regi rant, I might have just lied to my audience lmao, this time it will be shorter lmao, lemme do a quick bullet point of some others
-none of the starters ever really did it for me and they still dont
-I don’t like how the armored knight motif for corvinight came out of nowhere, and that kinda impacts how much I like the mon, granted it was kinda implied with the pre evo being “corvisquire” that’s more of a broader midevil motif in my eyes, with the armored knight motif being a sub-motif of sorts, and unlike some other moms where the sub-motif kinda comes out of nowhere (meowscarada for example, middle and final evo use the showman motif with latter adopting more of a jester submotif) I don’t think it’s as bad there because the jester submotif is only part of the design, and as such is easier to ignore, meanwhile corvinight is literally clad in armor, making that submotif almost impossible to ignore, if I were to change this line I’d probably give corvisquire a leather tunic (actuate to actual midevil squires for the most part) to ease in that submotif, maaaybe give rookidee (and thus corvisquire most likely as a result) a leather cap, but that’s probably more optional
-I actually don’t mind the regional gen 1 birds, I used to hate them much like the Regis, but I kinda stopped a lot of my hate when I realized that, unlike most other legendaries, the gen 1 birds were never really implied to only be the one trio, unlike most other legendaries that have mythologies or other roles that basically mostly facilitates that there’s only one of them, at least only one of them that’s in the spotlight, also galarian moltres and zaptos are blatant redisignes of the kantonian ones, witch prior would be one of the few Pokémon I’d say really needed an update, like seriously, what the fuck is kantonian moltres, as for kantonian zapdos It’s a bit more complicated, obviously since the origional gen 1 games lacked color, and it’s typing wasent obvious conceptually unlike magneton (whose literally a fucking magnet) it’s electric typing had to be implied via spiky appendages/fur/feathers/markings, similar to jolteon, pikachu, or electribuzz, and while I think for these latter three it aged quite well, i don’t think it really did for the OG zapdos
-I still don’t really like hatterene, the way I see it it’s just kinda gardevior again with a a bit of elegem thrown in, a funni tentacle, and the trans color pallate (witch sylveon did better sue me I dare you), and the violent girlboss astetic I feel like the later tinkaton just does better, I also don’t really like it when Pokémon are only one sex unless they are either outright genderless or have an explicit counterpart that’s the opposite sex (tauros and miltank for example), like how would these Pokémon even reproduce? Are they manmade creations and as such soley rely on ditto? I also feel like it’s just cooler for Pokémon that look traditionally masculine or feminine to be able to be both sexes (witch is why I really like gardevior and flomantis, dispite both looking traditionally feminine they have a 50/50 chance to be a male or a female) granted a couple of Pokémon I really like express this “one sex” critique as well, namely lilligant and Tinkaton, and I will not defend them in that regard either, but who knows, maybe I’ll like hatterene here more with time
Dragapult is another that dosent really do it for me, I like how they unobjectively tried to do something really creative with this regions psuedo (witch you can’t say about a lot of others *cough* baxcalibur *cough*) but my main issue with dragapult is that I feel like they went in too many different directions, like it’s a stealth bomber astetically, it’s a dragon and a ghost, and it’s a parental figure, and it uses catapult esque launching bays to launch its children at its enemies….. ok, yeah, that’s a bit much, I feel like if they stuck to a couple of these astetics it would have worked a lot better
… oh my god the onslaught is finally over, my neurodivergant ass finally ran out of shit to rant about, if you liked it that’s epic, and if you dont I honestly want to hear your own opinions about galarian Pokémon, maybe you could change my dumbass, or at the very least we get a cool discussion out of it

Pokémon #0083 - Farfetch'd
"Farfetch'd live in temperate grasslands and are always seen carrying a leek stalk or spring onion in one of their wings. They're unable to live without its stick, since losing it can leave them without a weapon, nesting material or emergency food source. Farfetch'd use the leek as a source to attack, and they've been known to fight over good ones. The Galarian variant is unable to fly in exchange for a sturdier body to hold its massive leek."

wahhh hello !!! do you know any variants of fidough ? :D
- 🍰
Hello! There are many variants of Fidough!
The "Burnt" variant is born to a Growlithe/Arcanine father! They are named this due to the fact that they have a darker coloration than the normal Fidough.
The "Fairy Bread" variant is born to a Galarian Ponyta/Galarian Rapidash father! They're named after their colorful coloration adopted from their fathers' mane.
The "Hollow's Eve" variant is born to a Houndour/Houndoom father! They're named after their spooky appearance.
The "Chocolate" variant is born to a Poochyena/Mightyena father! They're named after the black glaze-like pattern they have.
The "Lemon Meringue" variant is born to a Electrike/Manectric father! They're named after the yellow strikes they inherit.
The "Garbage Bread" variant is born to a Trubbish/Garbodor father! They're named after the interest appearance they have.
(/ooc: there is actually a dish called 'garbage bread' that's really good. trust me.)
The "Dollop" variant is born to a Vanillite/Vanillish/Vanilluxe father! They're named after the white 'dollop' shaped fluff on their heads.
There are many, many, many others but these are some of the most popular breeds!
-Prof. V. Maple.

Which regional pokemon form is your favorite? I love Galar meowth for being an awful gremlin, but Hisui typhlosion is my fave for being very spooky and mystical look, when the original design was fairly simple
Those are pretty good choices! I think my overall faves are Hisuian Sliggoo/Goodra because they just look so right with their shells, and I dig the explanation for them too.
#I like the lore behind Hisuian Zorua-Zoroark too#and Galarian Corsola -> Cursola makes me sad but in an interesting way#I also just love Alolan Ninetales' looks and that dex entry saying it helps ppl lost in the mountains-#-because it wants them to leave its place faster. Very relatable#Wait fuck. I forgot Alolan Persian... perfect creature#Pokémon

That Froslass and Snoey ask made me wonder, what Pokemon would she and the Swap MH cast use
I'll pick 3 for each character otherwise I'll be at this for ages jhgsdkjf
Snoey - Glaceon, Froslass, Pumpkaboo
Chara - Sprigatito, Togedemaru, Zorua
Frisk - Galarian Ponyta, Mimikyu, Phantump
Asriel- Eevee (never evolves as a parallel to him not aging), Skiddo, Cosmog
Asgore - Sunflora, Florges (yellow flower), Drampa
Toriel - Kangaskhan, Ninetales, Indeedee (female)
Papyrus - Raboot, Pawmot, Raichu
Sans - Duskull, Trubbish, Alolan Raichu (brother of Papyrus' Raichu)
Undyne - Gyarados, Milotic, Doublade
Alphys- Skitty (named Mew Mew), Haxorus, Tinkaton
Napstabot - Cursola, Yamask, Sobble
Happstablook- Primarina, Mismagius, Sliggoo
Temmie - Stufful, Morpeko, Banette (MK's former team would've been Scraggy, Pichu and Wooloo)
#holoskart asks#underswap mh rambles#snoey#some explanations for a few of these: charity would have a grass/steel preference but also I just think they'd get along with a zorua#galarian ponyta's mane always reminded me of frisk's shirt colours plus it glows like save stars#neptune's team would be mostly single stage/unevolved pokemon that people underestimate but are actually trained super well#(alolan raichu is the exception bc one of its dex entries mentions star-shaped attacks. also I named mine after him gjkdhsf)#nsb's team is a lot of tearful pokemon they emotionally connect with. not included but I think meloetta would be a good fit for them too#tem-k has cutesy but violent pokemon and their old team having scraggy is super obvious for monster kid#anyway. this was a fun way to spend several hours on a wiki thank you :D

my team from sw/sh is noivern, slowpoke, arctozolt, frosmoth, eternatus, and galvantula, but i used to have golisopod, jolteon, and greedent on my team. I also had a golisopod in my sun/moon playthrough, along with stoutland, ariados, jolteon, sylveon, and a deino that I never actually evolved lmao. I picked decidueye for my moon starter, and inteleon for sword, but I haven’t really liked the starters in a while so I always end up boxing them lmao.

Hello! what breeds of mudbray/mudsdale are there? I'm looking for a mudbray to be able to pull a cart that can carry two people or a person and two boxes of baked goods!
Hello! While Mudbray is the smaller of the two, you will not be able to find one with that strength and will have to invest in a Mudsdale. Good news, the standard breed of Mudsdale will be able to easily pull a cart carrying double of what your asking! There are still some breeds that have been bred with the intention of being able to pull carts and carriages that may interest you though!
The Magma breed is born to a Kantonian Ponyta or Rapidash father. While this breed is smaller than the standard breed, trading in some of their strength for speed, they are still strong enough to pull a cart carrying more than what you've asked for.
The Waterfall breed is born to a Galarian Ponyta or Rapidash father. They are named this because their manes resemble waterfalls. Even though this is considered a contest breed, it will still happily pull your cart.
The four Tauros all have their own specific breeds.
The Ram breed is born to a Kantonian father.
The Draft breed is born to a Paldean Tauros Combat father.
The Race breed is born to a Paldean Tauros Blaze father.
The Buffalo breed is born to a Paldean Tauros Water father.
