What are Pokémon that were introduced in the wrong generation? For one, I'd say Druddigon. It has a blatantly European design, and yet it was introduced in Unova instead of PokéFrance, Kalos.

It's especially strange because Kalos was missing a sublegendary trio. I wouldn't have minded if they included them in the dex, or removed them before Unova released to put them in Kalos.

And yet they decided to hold Gastrodon from what was planned to be Gen 3 into Gen 4. Well, now that just seems wildly inconsistent.

Only thing I can think of is that they didn't know Kalos was next and based on France. I mean, they probably take a vacation for a bit after finishing development on a new generation's game.

You're probably putting way too much stock in this and taking it far too seriously. There was never much rhyme or reason to this. The regions are the only things that were said to be based on real world locations, not the Pokemon accompanying those regions--bar the occasional special case and certain legends. I do think there are some Pokemon that seem out of place in their respective generations, but for different reasons.

That Alola is actually Mexico, because Hawlucha, and that gen 8 will be Norse because Nidhogg

Druddigon was such a waste of potential. Dex entry talks about how heat powers it up and naturally learns fire moves like Flamethrower, but it's not Dragon/Fire. It's aggressive and likes to fight, but it's not Dragon/Fighting. Nope just make it pure Dragon even though Axew line already exists, is better than it in every way, and much easier to find.

druddigon would have had a lot of potential had it now been just a mini-haxorus. hopefully it would obtain a future gen evo or buff of some kind or at least a second typing to make it shine
