Galar has the most returning Pokemon from Unova, a curious move considering that Unova was widely regarded as having some of the worst designs in the series. Gens 1-4 meanwhile got the shaft, being the bottom 4 in terms of returning Pokemon based on percentage of total new Pokemon from those gens. There is some speculation that this is because Gamefreak are planning to release Gen 4 remakes next, as the Sinnoh Pokedex contains all gen 4 Pokemon and a large number of gen 1-3 pokemon.
Galar is heavily water type, with 60 Pokemon. Psychic, Grass, Ghost, and Ground also have high concentrations. Galar is light on Fire and Electric options, though the situation is nowhere near as bad as the fire type situation was in Diamond and Pearl, where there are only 11 fire types to choose from (5 of which were fully evolved).
This graph is based on a survey of the most popular Pokemon done earlier this year that had over 50,000 responses. As you can see, in spite of Gamefreak's claim that they would focus on the most popular pokemon moving forward due to the removal of the national dex, Galar actually has a heavy concentration of the least popular Pokemon, with over 40 pokemon each from the 601-700 and 700+ ranges returning. Meanwhile, just over 70 Pokemon from the top 200 most popular are returning. |
