Going to try and wrap this up tonight in one big update!
Since Crabrawler's whole shtick is evolving by reaching the top of a snowy mountain, it'd be a crime to not let it climb Mt. Coronet. I'd imagine it'd be a grass encounter in areas with lots of berries
Just realized I posted these in the wrong spot, reposting them so the thread isn't broken: for the final Kalosian Pokemon, I could see Noibat hanging out within Wayward Cave, while its evolution Noivern would make a lot of sense hidden within Victory Road
Bergmite and Avalugg would make a lot of sense on the snowy peaks of Mt. Coronet, or perhaps at Lake Acuity. It'd be really easy to just slap all the new Ice-type Pokemon into Sinnoh, honestly, but I'm trying not to do that
Have there been any Pokedexes with Trevenant but not Gourgeist? Because the former makes a ton of sense roaming outside the Old Chateau or the Lost Tower, but I can't see the latter fitting in with Sinnoh much
I can't believe I said Stunfisk would be the Pokemon locked behind the Great Marsh in spite of Route 212 being a suitable habitat when Goomy exists and would make way more sense being restricted like that (Route 212 having permanent rain makes it a great place to evolve, though)
You know, when I said I wanted to talk about Oreburgh Mine, this wasn't the Pokemon I had in mind... but I think it'd be amusing if Carbink had a really low chance of spawning in Oreburgh Mine, as well as some other caves like lower Mt. Coronet
And on the subject of Route 213, Binacle and Barbaracle are Pokemon I think would also fit there, as well as some other shoreline routes. Luckily, Sinnoh doesn't have Pokemon encounters tied to Rock Smash, so you won't have to worry about seeing them everywhere through that!
Given Inkay and Malamar's affinity for beachfront habitats, they would fit right in as encounters on Route 213!
(And while this isn't a new family, per se, I wanted to mention Sylveon here since I hope they wouldn't retroactively remove its existence like the new evos in HG/SS)
In the event that we get remakes of Diamond and Pearl, I think Spritzee and Swirlix make sense as an extra pair of version exclusives on Route 208, right outside Hearthome City and its Contest Hall. (And if we get a Platinum remake like I want, they can both coexist!)
This may not be Sword and Shield, but I do think the Honedge family has a place in Sinnoh as a new Steel-type that could make its home within Iron Island
