>>43700060I kinda agree. I was absolutely fine with em for Alola - even if it was just a way for them to cram in more Dark and Ice types without needing new mons. Hawaii is a pretty remote place, so it made sense to me.
It's the Galarian regionals that annoy me. We've been to Poke-America and Poke-France, but Pokemon-Britain is the only one that has regional forms? And regional-exclusive evolutions? Now we're getting bloated.
I would've preferred either new mons or new evolutions of old mons to embody these concepts. Perrserker, for instance, could have easily been a new split-evo for Meowth with a few minor changes.
