They clearly wanted to incorporate Hawaiian dancing into gameplay somehow.

was it corocoro or somewhere that said the Rockruff evos share a secret with the starters? Fill me with hope, thread, that we're going to get version exclusive evos to avoid WrestleCat and thereby make Litten usable

Also I hope that Wrestlecat is the Moon evo so the Sun evo can be Fire/Fighting if Wrestlecat isn't.

Okay, I like the Rugby Monkey. And Midday Lycanroc. But I like Moonbat most of all and also the darkness so I'll just have The Bae evolve my Rockpuppy and then gimme a Rugby Monkey.

Eevee is Sailor Moon and the other Eeveelutions are Sailor Soldiers lending their power to take down Queen Beryl. Or something.

That ridiculous Eevee animation where she gets powered up by all the Eeveelutions like she's about to unleash an insane powerful multi-eevee attack only to have the camera go back to the boring battle screen and go "eevee's attack rose sharply!" was pretty funny.

That werewolf is just more cememting my choice of Pokemon Moon as the better choice

Midnight Lycanroc is clearly the superior choice as the Midday form isn't even a lycanthrope, and thus ruins the pun!

I can't believe how rad all of these new abilities and moves are. Passimian just existing on the field will make your opponent think twice about who to kill, and could even lead to some bullshit shenanigans on switch ins.

It's blowing my mind that I can't think of a single pokemon shown so far that I would describe as useless. It seems like every single one has had some serious forethought into designing not only their looks and theme, but their utility and viability as well. They all have some kind of niche that they fill, and that's something that I don't know I could say for any other generation. Are we witnessing the death of route-fillers?
