>take a modest, well-designed line with a clean and complete progression between evolutions
>give it a regional variant but say the variant is the original which is a huge slap in the face to the originals
>said regional variant could also potentially outclass the original despite the fact that the original had a unique niche for several gens that could literally only be taken away by giving another pokemon the same specific combination of moves/ability
>decide to give the variant an evolution, not only ruining the perfect relationship between the previous two stages but fucking over the originals because they don't have an evolution and are essentially made less valuable in comparison
>all for this trash
I've never felt more disappointed
