Pokemon's eighth generation titles, Pokemon Sword and Shield, saw plenty of characters introduced from the game's UK-based Galar region, with several becoming among the most popular characters from the franchise. While the games saw significant backlash from fans due to a number of exclusions from the Pokedex and complaints about the animations, characters like Nessa and Sonia have become fan favorites since their debuts. Now, one of Galar's most popular characters is preparing to make her debut in the ongoing Pokemon Master Journeys anime.
