>>55653812Assuming there's a Gen9 rep at all, the one with non-negative chances to get in is Ogerpon. Silver lining being that we would probably get Loyal gang representation in some way even if just as background characters in a stage.
I don't think Sakurai would pass on the opportunity to add another swordie in Ceruledge, though. And if the higher suits force him to go with a different Pokemon it's gonna be Mewscarada or something less obvious but ultimately expectable like Gholdengo.
