Trivia

• Out of the three original stages of Ralts, Gardevoir is the only one that had its name changed when it came to the U.S.
• The fact that Gardevoir can be male is a frequent topic of discussion among Pokémon forums. Perhaps in response to this, Gallade was created.

Origin

Gardevoir resembles a ballroom dancer. Its exaggerated head with minimal facial expression and an overall frail, featureless physique could also be attributed to anesama ningyou, a style of traditional Japanese paper doll.

Name origin

Gardevoir's name may be a combination of garde (French for "guard") and devoir (French for "to be required to"). This is reflected on its Dex data, which explains how Gardevoir will protect its Trainer even at the cost of its own life. Its Japanese name may be taken to mean さあ、ナイト saa, naito ("come, night").
