>>19479611>Was the split the reason why Garde dropped from Gen 3 BL to NU for 2 straight gens?Most likely - Gardevoir was designed for a vastly different enviroment that eventually ceased to exist.
Sadly, that also meant that making Gallade into a Gardevoir with attack stat flipped would be doomed to failure the second more Pokemon are added.
Makes me wish that GF could re-stat this line someday.
