Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
Going back to Pokken for a bit, as someone who doesn't know fighting games that well, i'm sorta expecting Pokken Switch to have two extra characters on top of all these new arcade characters so it's Empoleon or whoever the fourth arcade character is supposed to be and then two SM representatives for the console version. Ideally it'd be Incineroar plus an Alolan Forme like Exeggcutor or Ninetails or something.

I'd learn how command throws work for the sake of my wresslecat

Decidueye is a given, since it's this gen's Charizard/Lucario/Greninja. For the other I'd personally like to see something unorthodox/insane (like Chandelure, the coolest character in the game) that they could get really creative with in terms of moveset and playstyle, e.g. Palossand.

I'm pretty into Aegislash and Gourgeist but Haunter is my favorite "this is a straight up ghost" pokemon

I'll hear nothing against the most adorable Ghost, Pumpkaboo.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
Aegislash is my favorite ghost type because when it comes to monster collecting franchises I still have the sensibilities of a 12 year old and think swords and dragons and stuff like that are h*cka cool.

No because they are too short to see in a car.

Also they look creepy and I would like to not see them when driving.

no because watchog is good and all cops are bad, which means it would be a bad cop (i.e. a good one)

Competitively? Diggersby, who is terrible Danny DeVito mon because it got Pure Power as a hidden ability. Bibarel with its hidden ability is a close second.

Worst is probably Furret. You could maybe make the case for Linoone as well.

Raticate has Guts and the best attack stat, Watchog has Hypnosis....

Ironically, Alolan Raticate is probably going to be pretty bad because it lost Guts in favor of Gluttony/Hustle which is just ugh.

Pheasants are in the same family as turkeys and there's already cases of people hunting and eating Pokémon, so maybe Unovans gather around the table on holidays to a beautifully-plated Tranquill or Unfezant.
