>>47900444I agree that it's kinda stupid, but I still think it's far better than the other two gen 8 starters who don't even feel like Pokemon. I can at least imagine that most Rillaboom could be totally different from each other, with different builds, hairstyles, types of drum or even preference for the kind of beat they like to drum out. I could easily imagine a colony of Rillaboom living in the jungle.
But with Cinderace, I can't think of it as part of a distinct species, it just feels like an anthro fire rabbit that decided to become a soccer player. The same with Intelleon, it feels like it's just acting like a spy, but that isn't something that can be characteristic in an entire species, it's too damn specific.
Rillaboom are monkeys that smack sticks against logs because they like the noises it makes . Unremarkable maybe, but at least it's not completely unnatural.
