>>56422702>paradox mons were a mistakeThat's because paradoxes are Pokemon who the designers wanted to give Megas but the higher ups told them no because they didn't consider those Pokemon valuable enough to become iconic super saiyans so he designers had they just had to settle for flintstone expies and robots. basally the same story with regional but at least Parodoxes are almost always broken as fuck and therefore almost always guaranteed to garner the Pokemon that get them a sliver of respect by association, meanwhile regionals don't even come with the promise of power.
