>something people don't expectBecause a surprise is always better for evolution, especially for starters. We really never should know what to expect. Surely this will satisfy the most consumers.
>tiger becomes tiger mask heelExcept Litten wasn't a tiger yet. It was a house cat with tiger-like elements. Almost like it should have evolved into a tiger, instead of a cartoon human in a tiger mask.

Honestly, I don't hate Incineroar that much, but it is, always has been, and always will be a major letdown. I love tigers, and it kills me that this is the closest thing we have to a tiger Pokemon. Its concept isn't even bad, and it would have worked as a separate Pokemon from the Litten line, but because it got tacked on in a place it doesn't fit, it'll never feel right.
