>>29272813Here's my thoughts:
I've been optimistic about XY, ORAS, and Sun/Moon (until now). I'm happy for people who will enjoy them and are excited, but I don't see myself getting it day one anymore unless I'm bored of Titanfall 2 by then.
I'm disappointed in Morelul's evolution specifically. I love fairy type Pokemon and want them to get more "traditional fairy" designs -- something like a mix between Morelul itself and Jirachi is what I had in mind. It's a good design, just not the one I was hoping for. And, there aren't enough other Pokemon that I DO really like to offset that disappointment. I like Rowlet and Popplio's whole line, but after expecting split Evolutions my hype is just gone after knowing there'll be no split evolutions and that the dex is incredibly small. At least with X and Y I could catch past favorites like Aron/good gen 3 Pokemon, and many gen 6 designs like Aegislash and Goodra and Dragalge were charming. But I'm just not interested in enough of the gen 7 Pokemon.
I'm not a complete contrarian crybaby though. I don't mind gyms being a thing of the past (or at least just out of this gen) as long as something decent replaces it. Like Ultra Beast story arcs/acts or something. I love Team Skull. They're like modern team rocket and are entertaining.
I dunno. More than anything, there aren't a lot of Pokemon for me to catch that I'm interested in--mostly because of the decreased Dex size. As a whole I don't care for gen 1 Pokemon and none of the alola variants are interesting enough to sway me. Good designs if you already like them, but they're not winning me over. Plus, unmet expectations kills hype for me.
