Farfetch'd evo, which is just Farfetch'd with a Samurai helm and a Steel typing.

With regional variants now being a thing i'm guessing we'll be seeing more of that instead.

The Ultra Beasts rule so hard.

In fact all the legendaries this gen are great. The Tapu's are easily my favourite region trio (even though there's 4 of them) in the series, and Solgaleo and Lunala are cool as well.

Holy poo poo are you right. Ultra beasts are amazing and I love the tapus, I unabashedly baby my Tapu Koko because I love my capricious lil' chicken god.

I hope there's more ghost fighting types next gen, Marshadow is precious and has excellent stats but it leans more towards adorable than spoopy. And I need more spoops.

Okay actually one thing I want to see are Johto variants of Pokémon. Call me a weeb but I think they could make a lot of fun variants drawing from Japanese culture and mythology :getin:

Nah, those are pretty cool. Kinda out of place in Pokémon but I still love both of those! All the "legendaries" are great in this game, which is a breath of fresh air. I was more talking about the style going from a very recognizable "this is Pokémon" to something looking more like Sonic the Hedgehog or Digimon. There are some great Pokémon in every gen, but I just wasn't digging the direction they were heading in. SuMo is back to being kinda quirky and cute and I love it :3:

Like I said the UBs feel distinctly out of place, which is definitely on purpose. I like their designs, but they're kind of "outside" the general style the game is going for (again, on purpose) also they're 1000x better than any Digimon designs.

This generation did a good job making me care more about the legendaries than I really have since I played Sapphire. Other people in the game knowing about and caring about the Tapus was refreshing, though it did make me feel kind of bad that I was taking their island gods away to go fight dogs in the woods.


Contrast with X and Y, where I didn't give a single gently caress about Yveltal and neither did anyone else. It was also filled with pokemon I can barely recall (anybody else remember Barbaracle? What was that guy's deal?)

I think they're getting better at making us give a poo poo about the legendaries and incorporating them into the plot. That said I loved 90% of gen 6 designs including Barbaracle. A barnacle hive mind with an awesome ability? gently caress yeah. Gen's 3, 6, and 7 have had my favorite designs so far.

One hatched after two days but three are still just close to hatching for me, this was with no berries. Much faster to run circles on tairos imo.
