It's a gorilla and slow mono grass pokemon. Not as cute as its pre-evos, and didn't have 'cool' features like other Galar starters.

No, I know 85 is pretty fast, but I think it's why it's less popular than other Galar starters. Others are more faster and basically turn SwSh into easy games.

It's a boring ape with leaves glued together for hair that carries around a stage prop to battle. There are no other reasons, it's just an unappealing Pokemon.

Would've been great if it didn't have the stupid drum, it's like if Blastoise had to physically carry around water cannons

A grass gorilla is simple but appealing

Depends on the playing field. Gen 8 has 95 as fast. Gen 7 has 112+ as fast. So yes, gorilla is on the slower side.

The fact that the drum is apart of his design/model is very fuckin weird but otherwise I think the theme is fine

He's slightly faster than Tapu Bulu. He also get U-turn and Knock Off, so I think he will see some uses.
If they allow HA starters to get gigantamax forms, Rillaboom's new grass g-max won't be inferior since he already set up grassy terrain with his HA.

Either go all the way with the human profession theme or run away from it completely. Rillaboom is stuck in a middle ground in that regard, Cinderace had a fire soccer theme based around it. Inteleon has a secret agent and sniper theme. I disliked both initially but love them after seeing their animations and quirks. Rillaboom on the other hand simply has a clunky intrusive drum without the charm. Said drum could have been built into its chest like Toxitricity’s “guitar” or Inteleon’s knife or “guns.”

These. It feels like an awkward mix of both, when it could just go all in on being bestial or humanoid/profession and would look better either way.

I wonder if it would have been better with a set of bongos strapped to it like Goron Link from Majora's Mask. Could have called it Bongorilla even.

It was already said before but the drum really should have been incorporated into the design. Like imagine if Decidueye held a literal bow instead of it being a natural part of its design, thats what Rillaboom is. That said its bound to pick up in popularity once its HA releases, though probably not by much.
