I once had the idea of a "zeitgeist/American folk" trio of pokeymans. A ghost/normal wisp Woodie Guthrie, a normal/grass scarecrow Johnny Appleseed, and Normal/Steel robot John Henry with a bigass hammer.

But Americana Pokemon lost it's chance in Unova.

Alola is Hawaii which is also in America

Don't get me wrong, there's room for different ideas themes, and cultures from gen to gen. But it'd be silly, imo, to add old(er) mainland american folk-based Pokemon to a game based in tropical/Hawaii and take away the vibe.

Give me a sand dollar pokemon. Give me an urchin pokemon.

Give me a Sponge Pokemon. Pretty sure that's the only animal Phylum we haven't covered outside of worms (I'm not counting any of the dingy caterpillar-esque bug types). Pretty much all the weirdass eyeless invertebrates.

Aside from giving Blastoise and Venusaur the shaft, the only real surprise there is Meltan not being included. If that IS the case, it firmly cements in my mind he's a bullshit Pokemon.

Don’t remind me. Would have been a great fire/water/grass core in my ingame team to go with Intellion and Salazzle.

They also cut Krookodile. They kept the loving ice cream line but cut Krookodile. :qq:

I can't even remember the Elec/Normal lizard because I always catch it and rename it after my pet Bearded Dragon.

So, hey, at least you can add HelioliskBenson to the team. :3:

The EXP share thing is a-ok for me, because I like to sporadically change the 6th slot on my time and hate having to play catch-up with said poklemin. Whatevs. I'll play it and like it and mourn the missing pokemon; hoping they do a more expansive and more refined game in the future. The removed moves seems nonsensical to me. Like, not even in an angry way, my response was "But why karate chop?". I like pokeymans.

Speaking of the Elite 4 - I just beat the champion on my most recent replay of Leafgreen! :dance:

for all of the lack of QoL in the old games, they're still incredibly satisfying to play. Partially because the game isn't afraid to kick your rear end a little - I spent a couple hours grinding to top off my team's levels, and I still got bodied by the Elite 4 three times! (once by Lorelei, once by Lance, and once by Blue) Though, if they hadn't, my Dragonite still would've been a Dragonair - it evolved right before the champion fight.

(potato quality b/c I'm playing off my old cartridge via gamecube, rather than emulator :v:)

I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. Let the game kick my rear end once in a while.

I may be mistaken but it seems ultra beasts aren't available from max raid adventures until after the regi/birds/calyrex plotline.

I got necrozma. I forgot even a team of ai's can be carried with a single dark type against that thing.

Meanwhile, Zygarde with Powerconstruct will wipe the floor of even a decent team of people. Second go around, my group had 3 ice users and still almost got wiped out by double land's wrath turn.

I mean, I might still get it. But the thing is, I held off (and still have) on getting Link's Awakening because it being a chibi remake wasn't enough to coax me. And that game looks BEAUTIFUL compared to the trailer for this. It's a hard to sell me stale bread when I'm already penny pinching and have other opportunities.
