Still gonna miss mega evolutions for actually being evolutions, dynamax seems as generic as z moves. :(
At least Z-moves had the awesome pose intros and cool animations. Dynamax is just "get big."

I will say though, if it is balanced at all for competitive play it is gonna be hype as hell in tournaments.

How was Talonflame's line revealed?

Although, you might not be wrong, given that it's used as a taxi. If it was a pidgy of it's line it'd probably not be a taxi. Unless it's evolution was too big and spiky? Single stage would surprise me, since just about every game has had a 3 stage bird revealed early on.

e: I'm still hoping on some new type combos like fire/grass and fire/water.

Don't make Wooloos fight, they are friendly little fluffly things that just wanna have friends and be safe.

Contests will be brought back just for Woololo. Either that or a new not-Contest type of competition where you compete by rolling your pokes down a hill a la regional cheese/pumpkin/etc rolling competitions. All Pokemon can compete but obviously already round ones like Woololo, Jigglypuff, Togedemaru, etc get bonuses to roly-polyness.

Other factors influencing roly-polyness: weight (heavy Pokemon roll faster), smoothness (smoother Pokemon roll faster), symmetry (asymmetrical Pokemon tend to veer off course; you choose which axis to roll your Pokemon around as some have symmetry across one axis and not another).

my knee jerk probably biased fanboy thoughts:

-Dynamaxing is kinda fun just by virtue of BIG GROOKEY and poo poo looking so funny, we're never getting more Megas and I think it's more neat than Z moves so I'll call it fine.

-Region looks lovely, I dig the arena finally being packed and feeling like a proper big event for gyms.

-Wooloo is my baby

-That flower pokemon is also pretty cool

-Edgy Bird is deeply boring but whatever it's our taxi so yay for death to HMs being kept

-Woof those legendaries are boring, which blue dog with a single accessory do you like, kids, the one holding a knife or the one who got in the trash and got some stuff around his neck? The inevitable third cooler one/fusion form better be cool.

-Poke-Raids seem neat

-Champ looks cool, Hop is gonna be more hated than Hau

-Look man I just want more pokemon, I'm a fanboy and unless a game looks actively lovely I'm not gonna pretend I won't be preordering this gen.

It has the eyes of a regular sheep. Sheep, just like goats and horses and a bunch of other animals, have creepy rectangular pupils. They are part of what makes most people think goats are creepy because you can more often see them on goats while horses and sheep tend to have dark eyes so you can't see the pupil. I think on Woololo they look cute though :kimchi:

It is definitely the case with sheep too. Goats are more likely than sheep to have light coloured eyes and look at a camera close up though so you're more likely to notice the weird rectangular pupils on them.

I really hope Scorbunny isn't a fighting type... I was hoping for it to be a special attacker since all the other members on Team Bunny (Lopunny/Diggersby/Azumarill) are physical attackers but I guess it's not meant to be.

The bird is great, Pokemon Sif is amazing, shield dog is basically fine and about as good of a way to handle that as you're going to get.
