"A Few Fun Facts about the Galar Dex"

Since the leaks have shown us every Pokémon will be in the game, as well as debunking rumours about its expansion, I thought I'd hit you with a few facts that may surprise you:At just 400 Pokémon, this is the smallest Pokédex of any game since RSE which had 386. Even more glaringly, Kalos and Alola had more Pokémon in their regional dex alone than Galar will have total​Game Freak stated that the Pokémon that were chosen were supposed to reflect the region, which is based on the UK. Let's take a look at some of the confounding omissions they made, and maybe some equally confusing additions:Despite Team Yell being featured in the game, the Exploud line is notLilipup, a Yorkshire Terrier, and Snubbull, a bulldog, are both cut from the game. They are both English dog breeds.Swans are a pretty common pet for the monarch, however Swanna did not make the cut.England's national animal is the Lion, yet the Pyroar line is not in the game. EDIT: Not only is England's national animal not included, but the USA's (Braviary) IS for some absolutely ridiculous reason.Druddigon, which bears the closest resemblance to the Welsh dragon of all the dragon Pokémon included, is not in the game.There are no squirrel Pokémon like Pachirisu in the game, despite them being a common animal in the UKPenguins are almost exclusively found in the southern hemisphere. They are not endemic to the British Isles. A penguin with an ice block for a head is very unlikely to be found outside of Antarctica. Disappointingly a flying type based on a puffin was not made for Sw/ShTsareena, a mangosteen, does not grow in the UK. It is also based on a tsarina, which is a Russian monarch, not a British one.Fairly surprisingly, skunks are not found in Europe at all. Skuntank however can be found in GalarEven more surprisingly, pandas are not found in the UK. Pangoro however, can be found in Galar. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2CsgsTj
