So let me get this straight from the leaks:
Not only will Scarlet and Violet continue with regional forms, along with regional evolutions and possible a traditional cross gen evolution, but will introduce a crystallization gimmick that could change a mon’s appearance when given third STAB, ANOTHER concept with regional fakes (which are basically u related mons that converge on a look very similar to mons we know), AND YET ANOTHER CONCEPT with past a future forms that may or may not represent how mons change over time. On top of that, there are whispers of a concept similar to ultra beasts, as well as the return of Alphas in the full open world. Isn’t this a bit too much? Are they getting desperate to pad out the dex? Or do you see diversifying as a good thing?
