>>31487425I don't mind shiitonic for gen wun as much because they made it kinda work in the descriptions. They made it mirror parasect, which is normally something most people dislike because parasites, and they made a competitor who is equally worse if not more. They said in the dex, that the two species fight each other over territory. This basically splits the options between having an insect mind controlling, parasitic fungus, or a fungus that misleads people into the woods in order to feed.
I just think that even if it was for gen one pandering, it was one of the better ones. I mostly liked how they link stuff from different gens for new ecosystems. Probably my favorite part about the new dex entries.
Design is a bit lackluster in my opinion though.
