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"). Its Japanese name may be taken to mean さあ、ナイト saa, naito ("come, night").
