Also Team Skull?? Really that's the best you can do for a region based off of Hawaii? BIKER THUGS?!?!!
Much agreed to this. I was expected a team of crazed geologists who study the eruption patterns of the local volcanoes in Alola and want to make them erupt to awaken the Legendary and harness its power or something. Team Skull just looks like a bunch of delinquents...
As for my opinions on the new Pokemon:
Yowashi is kinda cool, but the fact that the big version isn't an evo bothers me a bit.
I LOVE Sunabaa and Shirodesuna! They're both pretty amusing to me, and I like their backstory. I really hope they pop out of the sand in-game.
Nuikogoma is pretty cute. I absolutely love how it fights with its arms. Someone should stick a Taiko drum in front of it and let it play.
Alolan Meowth is cool I guess. I'm not particularly fond of it being specially bred by rich people, that bothers me a lot when it happens to real animals.
Alolan Marowak... Makes me sad. Its design is okay, that doesn't bother me. What's really sad is thinking about its mom coming back and potentially possessing Marowak or something.
