>>43270101>laziest, most uninspired designThe point of Galarian Slowpoke is that it doesn't have a significant physiological change. Not much has changed about Slowpoke other than its diet, and how its skin has changed coloration due to eating Galarica seeds. Other regional forms either changed where they lived or their behavior.
>doesn't gain a type, loses a typeThat's the point. Galarian Slowpoke do not need to live in the water anymore since their favorite food is land-locked. Kantonian Slowpoke need to eat water-borne Pokemon in order to survive and they do so by fishing in the water. Galarian Slowpoke have no need for that. Also, it is very likely that Galarian Slowbro and Galarian Slowking will end up Psychic/Poison.
>level up movepool is identical save one minor substitutionYeah, not a fan of that. They probably half-assed that, seeing as they replaced Water Gun but kept everything else.
