>>18681600>Name a Pokémon that suffers more than Ledian:Competitively? There is hardly any contest, Ledian needs some general fixing.
Overally? That might be Gallade.
>Design that is despised across Pokemon fandom>Gets worse with every gen on the competitive field, if the last Smogon UU analysis is to be taken for granted, then he is one category below regular Gardevoir >Worthless abilities, misses out on every relevant move while his movepool is filled with useless trash>Has the most vocal and vibrant hatedom amongst all Pokemon to the extent that his current inferiority is applauded across Pokemon community >Fandom of the very line he was introduced into is a home to the biggest chunk of people who would love nothing more than have GF retcon him out of existence - some of them already made it clear that they won't be able to enjoy the games in full for as long as Gallade is on the dex >Has the same amount of presence in general Pokemon media as elemental monkeys >No sign whatsoever that this will ever change. At least Ledian is a lovable underdog, Gallade is seen as a forced menace that lingered in the spotlight for too long and needs to be put down.
