That reminds me we need differentiation of the Water groups. Maybe "Amphibious" for 1, "Aquatic" or "Ocean" for 2, and uhhhh "Cove" for 3? It doesn't match up perfectly but neither does anything else with egg groups.

All this time we thought crab was the optimal body plan. How foolish we were.
Behold the ultimate lifeform. May all strive to become of its image.

You guys are not seeing the biggest reveal from Wigglet. It finally answered that this pink circle on Digglet it's his nose, not his mouth.
Amphibious for 1, Fish for 3, Water for 2.
looking at the real life examples this feels like every winged pokemon is already displaying convergent evolution
this feels a bit...overly literal, in comparison
Wiglett's aight. Funny fella, I think I'll dig him more as time goes on, pun completely intended.
Nah, the thing I'm way more excited for is the ramping up in sophistication of wild Pokemon behaviors:
That's the shit we like to see, baby.

There are actually versions of this part of the site on the Chinese and Korean SV sites too.
It was a good run, Pokemon, but your designs have mostly been absolute garbage since gen 7.
Regional variants started off as a nice concept but it just made them lazy with designs, to the point that they're not even trying anymore. "Just make a longer Diglett, they'll eat that crap up anyway."

Durísimas declaraciones.
Was its typing even revealed?
Wiglett is Water/Ground.
That's not confirmed. It could be Mono Water or Water/Something Else.

Did anyone find a reason why Galarian Mr. Mime is icy and into tap dancing?
Arceus wanted to Mr. Mime in Galar into a joke about how Mime Rhyms with Rime and also both Rhym with the word Rhym.
Looking through the list of returning Pokémon, I feel pretty confident that there’s an effort to include all the new Pokémon/forms from PLA in these games so that they can get in an appearance in a “traditional” game with Abilities and such — the only families of that sort that have yet to be confirmed are Rufflet, Bergmite, Voltorb, Stantler, and Qwilfish, whose likeness has at least been depicted in a background detail. (I’m not counting the Hisuian Starters and Legendaries since they have almost no hope of being the the regional Dex to begin with, but maybe they’ll be included as unlisted HOME transfers or, perhaps, as save data bonuses for BDSP/PLA?)
Now, of course, it would not be beyond the whims of Game Freak to arbitrarily leave out a member or members of a clearly cohesive group, but I’ve got hope!
Well, I suppose once you’ve established that “moving to an icy area” is sufficient to induce a regional form change, you don’t necessarily need to respecify that as the cause every subsequent time, and can just leave it up to implication. But I wish they did dive as much into the lore/worldbuilding of all regional forms as much as they do for the ones that get listed on the official site. Or as much as they did, anyway — Paldean Wooper’s bio is kind of sparce.
I’m still a little disappointed that the Alolan Geodude line never got a sizable site blurb like the rest of the Alolan forms.

Updated Paldea checklist:
Color code:
- Green: this Pokemon is present in the SV Pokedex,
- Dark Green: this Pokemon has a new Regional Form
- Light Green: this Pokemon is likely to be present in the SV Pokedex.
New confirmations:
-Diglett, Dugtrio,
-Snover, Abomasnow,
-Sandile, Krokorok, Krookodile,
-Applin, Flapple, Appletun.
I like Wiglett a lot. It’s simple but effective. I feel that the idea of convergent evolution in the Pokemon world has great potential.
It’s interesting that Wiglett and Diglett appear to coexist in the same region.

Once again Riddler Khu is proven to be right about everything.
Lets avoid invoking a leak talk in the official info only thread (which has been kindly been bolded in the title of this thread for us)
