>>30334710Red Pandas aren't bears. Technically, we do have a red panda and a raccoon pokemon already, but neither of them look like bewear, so that's okay. They may have done designs based on animals that we sorta already have already, but a lot of them are still different from what we have.
>UBs are fucking fanfiction-tier. The designs look like deviantart shit.They INTENTIONALLY look OUT OF PLACE because they are from ANOTHER DIMENSION
for fuck's sake
I don't get how yall are so fucking thick about this
>lmao.Cunt-o shilling aside, there is literally nothing wrong with alola forms. Infinitely better than that Mega nigger garbage.
>gyms offered a better challengeNot really
>had more substanceExtremely easy "puzzles" and a slew of boring trainer fights isn't substance
>leaders themselves were much more interestingThe trial captains have more personality and character and memorability (for the most part) than all the gym leaders from every other game combined. I literally don't remember any of the gym leaders after gen 2, and I've played through each game countless times.
>trials get dropped next genThis is going to happen regardless of whether or not game freak thinks they're better than gyms, and you know it. Game freak drops amazing game mechanics/quirks that are universally loved every single gen.
>shittier attempt at a gym leaderNo, it's a different experience that focuses more on your adventure through the plot rather than giving you a "tough" challenge that you'll forget five minutes after you wipe the floor with it. Totems aren't easier than gym leaders, they just go by quicker because you just fight one big pokemon and a couple cronies. You win extremely easily with the exact same strategy; determine type, use pokemon that resists and hits that type effectively, and grind a couple levels above so you have a guaranteed stat advantage.
Gyms could literally just be a hallway with trainers and the only difference would be that it would be less tedious.
