I know y'all told me to wait but honestly I'm bored and impatient so to hell with it here's a dex count update for this current period in time
Kanto - 47 (44 original, 3 regional variants) (+2 since Galarian Rapidash kinda has to happen if one for Ponyta exists)
Johto - 24 (15 original, 5 cross-gen evolutions, 4 cross-gen pre-evolutions)
Hoenn - 29 (26 original, 2 regional variants, 1 cross-gen pre-evolution)
Sinnoh - 31 (19 original, 9 cross-gen evolutions, 3 cross-gen pre-evolutions)
Unova - 53 (all original)
Kalos - 28 (25 original, 1 cross-gen evolution) (+2)
Alola - 24 (all original) (+2)
Galar - 30 (28 original, 2 cross-gen evolutions) (I've decided to add 2nd and 3rd stages for starters in advance as well as Corviknight 1st and 2nd form and Drednaw and Alcremie 1st forms discovered/deduced from that photo app datamine, coming out to +10)
Total - 266 (+16)
Percentages (Rounded down)
Kanto - 31% of Kanto mons, 17% of Galar dex
Johto - 24% of Johto mons, 9% of Galar dex
Hoenn - 21% of Hoenn mons, 10% of Galar dex
Sinnoh - 28% of Sinnoh mons, 11% of Galar dex
Unova - 34% of Unova mons, 19% of Galar dex
Kalos - 41% of Kalos mons, 10% of Galar dex
Alola - 27% of Alola mons, 9% of Galar dex
Galar - 11% of Galar dex
Proportionally speaking, Kalos has taken a huge lead with over 40% of its Pokedex currently confirmed for the game. When it comes to the overall Pokedex, Kanto and Unova are in front while every other generation is pretty similar, hovering the 10% range. The gap between the most represented and least represented generation (Hoenn) is 20%.
Moreover, I wanted to talk about Galarian Ponyta. Now, we got two potential sources of inspiration for it being deliberated over: Kelpie and unicorns. While this Ponyta's color scheme does match up somewhat with traditional depictions of the Kelpie, I definitely stand with the camp that thinks it's a unicorn. If the additional horn that usually only Rapidash has didn't give it away, the fact it exists in a forest which seemingly is home to quite a few Fairies (a likely typing for a unicorn-themed pokemon) did the job. Kelpie has been shown in grassy areas, but usually it's in swamps, not glowy mushroom forests. From there, we could infer a possible pegasus-themed evolution for Rapidash. My thoughts? Hell yeah, more regional variants. Although, I must say, if this Ponyta is a fairy, I'm content but a tad disappointed in a way. I think they're revealing too many fairies in all honesty, 4 so far, +the only other fully evolved regular Galarian form shown thus far (Weezing) is also a Fairy. Give some other types a fair shake!
And honestly, in spite how boring this has been at times, it's been fun getting together and waiting to see what'll happen next. I've especially enjoyed some of the memes this has spawned! Incredible how a 24-hour still of some woods has united a community in such a turbulent state...
