>>54277726I'm glad I'm not alone thinking that a lot of our legendaries/mythicals for a few gens have been holdovers cut from previous games
>Zarude is a jungle monkey released the generation AFTER we just went tropical>Magearna is an ancient French maid robot that somehow appeared in the tropical region but not the French/"ancient history is super important to our lore" one>Genies of healthy meta are all Kami that came out in the "Murrika" region but not the Japanese one just before it (Enamorus fixes this I guess?)>The wormhole creating genie was released in the generation before wormholes became a huge part of the plot >The anime tied Volcanion to Magearna despite them being from separate generations>Whatever the fuck Melmetal is it feels out of placeThe inverse has happened too, mind you
>Meloetta would make a lot more sense appearing one Gen later in Kalos>Muskedeers also all came out the generation BEFORE France>We get a "king" and his "steeds" in a region that it makes sense, sure, but it also could work easily for Paldea which makes more clear mention of a betrayed king and lost kingdomZygarde doesn't count bc his part in Alola was clearly just reconfigured scrapped ideas from a 3rd Kalos game that never happened. And the whole "revealed before their generation that would have made sense" idea does make me wonder about the Treasures of Ruin hinting to China.
