No lie, I feel it would've worked if him was a bipedal.
I mean, you have Water Twink, Grass Slut. Just make it Fire Meathead, and you have the classic comedy "bad" guys.
Plus, they could've worked as a troupe group. The twink dances, the cat makes tricks, and the meathead sings those slow songs that make girls cry and men applaud.
Gen 9 was just a dissapointing rushed game. Open world is fun, but there isn't much to find. A school setting? Maybe a bit boring, but the students and teachers were fun.
Evil team? A let down because it feels you are bullying the Spec Ed class, but the admins were cool looking (Penny was bad tho, needed a cool outfit in the end).
Picnics were cute, but making sandwiches was a dumb mechanic. Would totally go for Arven's quest to save his dog 100% again, tho.
Nemona was cute, and the DLCs interesting. Shame Terapagos was boring, and Pecharunt a pussy. But I got Ogerpon. 1/3 is bad, but at least is something.
The entirety of Gen 9 feels very "I guess is here". Is like if GF even gave up on doing it midway. A very "just put whatever, is going to sell anyway" vibe.
