Is it just me, or is it kinda hard to care about these new pokemon? With a few exceptions, none of these new pokemon look like actual pokemon to me. The simple shapes of Impdimp and Morpeko makes it feel like they designed a pokemon around what would be the bare minimum to model rather that what would make an actual cool design.
The second and more important thing, however, is their impermanence: the fact that not all pokemon will be in each game makes it hard for me to grow attached to these new pokemon because I'm worried I'll never be able to use them again. I would love to have Corviknight be a regular interchangable member to my team, but now that I know that will probably not be able to happen, I'm more reluctant to use it.
The pokemon and how pokemon interact and battle should be the most important part of each pokemon game and because it seems like gamefreak is prioritizing anything but the pokemon, I don't want to buy these new games.
