This. Make something new with it instead of doing gimmicks or throwing in the originals with no rhyme or reason.
That being said, I do like the regional variants.

It's funny, because the original region that actually tried to be a Kanto wannabe is Hoenn, with the problem that the same Pokémon from Kanto are already available in the game too:

Ralts line = Abra line
Makuhita like = Mankey line
Gulpin line = Grimer line
Seedot/Lotad lines = Oddish/Bellsprout lines
Surskit line = Venonat line
Spoink line = Drowzee line
Feebas line = Magikarp line
And so on, and so on...

Unova's dex bloated the games with redundant copy mons. At least Kalos had original concepts even if it was the gen that introduced booboo keys.

Yeah, regional variants are cool and in retrospect in seems pretty obvious that gen 5 mons like the ones in the OP were the beginning of the idea.

Yet another reason XY and Kalos are the best games. Unova and Alola are shit for pandering to Kanto so much.

It's called convergent evolution. Unova is on the opposite side of the planet from Kanto and other Japanese regions so it has its own animals that fill the same niches that look similaras as does every other environment. I'm not really surprised you zoomers haven't heard of convergent evolution because todays classroom prefer to teach you kids all the different genders instead of actual science

Most of these are stretches except Feebas and Magikarp, which were clearly meant to be pairs. Some commonly-cited Unova Pokemon are also stretches, but pairs like Magneton-Klinklang, Sawk/Throh-Hitmons, and Audino-Chansey are clearly Kanto throwbacks. A garbage bag has much more in common with toxic waste than either have in common with a stomach/gall bladder-slug. I fail to see how how a pig monkey is in any way similar to a sumo wrestler? And Gothitelle has more in common with Gardevoir than either have in common with Alakazam.

Come on. Next thing you'll say that Nosepass isn't intended to be Onix 2.0, or that Corphish isn't a Krabby counterpart.

Ballet Dancers and Magicians/Spoon Benders are quite different inspirations. Being two stage psychic type is a very superficial similarity, so it is indeed a stretch.

They aren't visually similar, but conceptually, both are a two-stage Fighting type line that you can find early-game

That's a very superficial comparison. When people say Drowzee and Hypno are similar to Munna and Musharna, it's not because they share the same type. They're similar because they share the same inspiration as well, i.e. they're both based on bakus or tapirs and are associated with dreams or sleep.
On the other hand,
a rock snake ≠ an easter island head/compass
A pig monkey ≠ a sumo wrestler

Then by that logic every region copies heavily from Kanto since almost all of them have early birds, early bugs, early route rodents, regional felines, Pika-clones, fossils (excluding Johto), sublegendary trios (excluding Kalos and Galar), etc. Unova goes above and beyond the others in a way others do not.

The issue with Kalos and Galar is that instead of making new Pokemon to fill these roles, they either use preexisting mon or flat out don't do anything.
Kalos and Galar both used the Legendary Birds for their sublegendary trio. Galar even used the Swords of Justice on top of that in Crown Tundra.

That's fine as an in-universe explanation, but the actual reason is that they wanted players to have a fresh experience using only new Pokemon but Sugimori et al. weren't able to create 156 new designs without having to resort to taking heavy inspiration from prior regions, especially Kanto.

Are people now denying this? Revisionism for Unova got this far? Holy shit, the game was so clearly meant to reboot the Kanto dex that saying otherwise only makes you look like an actual mongoloid.
