There's some really solid stuff this gen but for every bombirdier there's a gholdengo, for every glimmora there's a spidops. You can tell that many designs were modeled before they were drawn and they're much worse off for it. Imagine a lokix that looked more like a cool bug and less like my first unity project.
I mostly enjoy the cross gen evos, convergent mons, and regional forms. Archaludon isn't good but at least it's a step up from duraludon.
Some of the paradoxes are cool; the Johto dinos, slither wing, and sandy shocks are especially fun. But many of them fail to be appreciably different from their sources, like almost all of the robots. Robo hydreigon deserves a special shoutout for being the most disappointing.
also I didn't buy these games
