>>11591028Ever since the Smart, Bandai seems really fond of banking on mascot characters like Mametchi, Mimitchi, Kuchipatchi (Sky), Sebiretchi (who's been used since the Pix as a female Kuchipatchi counterpart), Furawatchi and Pochitchi, so gutting Land means moving four of those characters (plus Meowtchi, likely, considering Horhotchi got moved) to another biome like they did with Kuchipatchi rather than simply.
I could imagine down the line we'd get ones that replace Ocean or even Land, but they probably started with replacing Sky because it's the most inconsequential/"filler" roster-wise, whereas with Land you'd either have to ditch all the mascot charas entirely or squeeze them into whatever new biome, resulting in far less newcomers. I'm more inclined to think Bandai wouldn't ditch the Land cast, since they've been banking on nostalgia and using the same few characters lately.
