My hopes for what Pokemon we would get:
-lemur
-koala
-dolphin
-megalodon fossil Pokemon
-toucan
-snowman
-more unique and good legends
-maybe a couple megas like gen 2 starters or something of the sort
-Alolan Golem as an obsidian looking fire/ground to reference the old TCG card
-Alolan forms of gen 3 or 4 Pokemon
-more Unown forms(at least a period or something)
-at least 80 or more new Pokemon including new evos and pre evos

What we got:
-lemur/monkey
-toucan
-koala
-quartet of lesser seeming legends
-Golem thats not what i wanted but will accept
-less new Pokemon than last gen

Still gonna play the game and enjoy the story.
Still gonna have hopes for the inevitable gen 4 remake(s).
