I like Noivern. I really like Noivern. You wanna know why?

Because it's a monster. A good, strong, well-rounded monster. I haven't seen a monster like this is in a while.

Near the tail end of the series, there have been a lot of pokedex-fillers and gimmick creatures. Gothitelle, Musharna, and so on. The creators seem to have forgotten the core values of the franchise: it should be about monsters. Noivern has the good, old-fashioned values of Gen 1 Pokemon. It doesn't focus on gimmicks, it focuses on being an awesome bat-dragon. Gen 6 in general is turning out great because of this; unlike Gen 5, which focused a lot on merely having a big Pokedex and gimmicks, Gen 6 is full of cool-looking monsters that are nothing more, and nothing less.

Our savior has arrived. All hail Noivern, all hail Gen 6!
