>every single new Pokémon gets super special NPC story status
Worst part of this game desu. Completely sucks the wind out of experiencing all these new forms when the story railroads you into meeting a super special glowy version of them all and then half of them are given to you as mounts. I’m at the third area right now and
Wyrdeer is shown to you and given as a mount in the first thirty minutes. The next quest is healing Kleavor. The next quest gives you Ursaluna. Next quest is healing Liligant. And now the next quest deals with Growlithe. There have been no new Pokémon/forms inbetween these areas
