>>26942837I can see a conservation theme happening.
Maybe the new team is trying to fuck with the ecosystem in a hunt for hidden knowledge in order to get rich and powerful. Drilling, setting shit on fire etc (hence Blastoise fire trucks) and ruining Pokemon homes.
Hence there are protectors of each island, most likely all part-Fairy, along with Zygarde, to help you conserve Alola.
Look at the revealed Pokémon so far:
>YungoosIntroduced to help get rid of pests.
>CutieflyHas Honey Gather, inspired by the idea that certain flies will replace the decreasing population of honey bees.
>BruxishA beautiful fish that has grown sharp teeth to protect itself, namely from poachers(?) and Dazzles its enemies with its bright colours.
>PikipekKnown to shoot seeds from its mouth. Since when did birds need this ability? It's endangered.
