[Sword & Shield] Galar Region Related To The UK

[Jonathan1990]

I got a load of dumb comments about this on Reddit but I'm surprised to find that the Galar region in Sword and Shield is related to the UK. Also heard it might feature a clock like Big Ben. I'll post the link to Bulbapedia to show you.

[Nah]

why the surprise exactly?

I Never thought they'd do a region based on the UK.

Why not? They did one on New York and surrounding areas, and another on France, and then Hawaii - UK isn't that surprising. (There's also Orre from spinoff titles apparently losely based on Arizona, but never seen a source myself).

They (the devs) also announced/discussed it being based on the UK, so it's been known for a while, haha. But it's easy for such details to slip by!

It's OK I didn't want to post in a thread from about 6 months ago when this was probably discussed.

 

[Controversial?]

That explains the lack of National Dex; Galar's equivalent of Theresa May, the Home Office and their immigration policy has obviously screwed up the politics of the region.

Bollocks to Galexit. Vote the Leon Democrats.
