There's one thing that just doesn't make sense to me. Why would GF officially reveal SO MANY pokemon if this generation is by far the smallest they've ever created?
This is less than half of the usual amount, which already makes it pretty underwhelming. Add in the fact that gamefreak officially revealed around 35 Pokemon on the official website, and the generation seems even smaller.
If GF wanted to focus their attention on other things rather than making a regular-sized generation that's fine... but why on earth did they reveal so many Pokemon when they didn't have many to show in the first place?
