See if it makes sense:

Kanto+Johto are based on Japan regions, right? So their language would be Japanese (or an equivalent in Pkmn world). Therefore, Lance's first language is Japanese.

Galar is UK, so they speak English, but with a British accent, right? It's confirmed in Pokemasters.

(just like Unova is USA so they probably have an American accent)

Lance, in the anime, said he travelled to Galar, so we can assume he speaks English. Fluently? That's up to you.

Do you think he would speak with a "Galarian accent"? My HC is that he does, because he acquired an accent due to spending time in the region, having to communicate with the locals etc..

Another HC is that Johto and Kanto have different dialects.

My answer personally is no. Seeing that Lance was born and raised in Johto, I doubt that he would pick up on the the Galarian accent from visiting, but perhaps his voice may slip from time to time and the accent might come out a bit.

But I do like when people portrayals with a bit of an English accent, not a strong one, but just the hint of one.

However, I can see how Lance would pick up some of the Galar dialect and slang.

Imagine Lance getting upset and muttering something like, "Balderdash..." And the person next to him raises an eyebrow like, 🇬🇧❓
