What are some cool Hawaiian animals they could base Pokemon on?

idk isn't the grass starter based on the pueo? tons of birds. the canadian goose that evolved to be flightless, 'alala, kolea, these fuckers, these other fuckers, etc. i'd be down with a common house gecko pokemon too, but i have no idea how un/interesting that would be. humuhumunukunukuapua'a is another fairly obvious choice

more-legendary creatures are also an option, like the giant fish that was our interpretation of the grim reaper

i'm gonna be kinda disappointed if they don't have a minor legendary trio based on some 'aumakuas. plenty to choose from, from sharks to spiders to lizards to wild boars etc.

please also include a marijuana grass-type that has a rivalry with a new rat pokemon, this is canon irl

the last item on my wishlist is a lucario-tier furbait pokemon based on the mo'owahine, which was basically a siren--blazingly hot chick with lizard skin who would drown the poo poo out of fishermen

You need to be a badass first.
My hope for this gen is that the later Gym Leaders have more than three whole Pokémon on their teams and that the E4 members have five Pokémon again instead of four. That's been the most annoying part of the last couple of games (even though BW1 are my favorite Pokémon games).

It has NFE level stats. It's basically a three stage line that they only ever introduced the first two stages of. So they should just give it an evo already.

Same. If they insist on not having full teams, then force the player to pick that same number of Pokemon to battle with so they can't just devolve into battles of attrition.

One's a weird semi sauropod with a petal wreath that can't do much other than support moves. The other is an ankylosaur that carries the world around. There's really no contest.

The only cool and good grass starters (including their full evolution lines) are Bulbasaur and Chespin, but Rowlett may end up beating them if the bird has an equally adorable and/or badass evolution line!!! Owls!!!! :3:

They steal players hats and use that material to fashion clothing. That's why hitmonchan was in prison. No magneto hats for the fighting dojo so they lost to psychic gym. It's totally cannon.

Also... Most of the human shaped Pokemon seem to be one of a kind in gen 1. Jynx, Mr.Mime, Hitmonchan. Must be some sort of creepy pasta about that other than the kadabra, and confaagrius pokedex entries. And hot drat autocorrect made this post an adventure.
