I am the unfortunate soul who’s favorite pokemon is Ledian… I know you aren’t planning on doing reviews of all these different pokemon but what’s your basic opinion on the 5-star pokemon?

I’ve always had a soft spot for Ledian, because Ledyba was the first Pokémon I ever caught on Silver version.  I don’t think Ledian is a badly designed Pokémon; the punching theme is weird but makes sense for a six-limbed Pokémon, and the connection Ledian has with stars and starlight is cool.  Why anyone would pair a reliance on punching attacks with Ledian’s abysmal attack score is beyond me, though.  The really sad thing is that, considering her terrible stats, Ledian actually makes a very noble effort to be a usable support Pokémon.  If you need someone with Reflect and you like Ledian anyway, there are worse choices out there.  I mean… people will laugh at you, and you’ll probably lose often, but you’ll learn to suffer through adversity with a smile and teach others the true meaning of Christmas.  Or something.
