>>52011936Convergent species are a better idea for brand longevity than regional variants. People in this thread saying their bad only hate them because they seem pointless to our autismo brains geared towards memorizing everything pokemon but this is a result of Gamefreak thinking ten years ahead.
Futuristic pokemon are rancid shit. They almost all look like trash and the ones that look alright are worse than what they're based on. They all adhere to the robot design philosophy which was clearly not giving them much in the way of inspired ideas compared to the Scarlet counterparts. They visually communicate their typing worse than nearly all of the previous bad examples people talk about, with the exception of future Donphan, the one Steel type. Prehistoric forms look okay. The regional variants that are present are also alright.
