>>58835537Paradoxies were a mistake, yes. The worst part of it is I keep seeing fanart of paradoxies based on more interesting concepts but the ones we ended up getting are almost entirely complete and total shit.
>>58835542UBs were aggressively different... I don't like most of them, either. But some of them felt like very fair excuses to make designs a little more extreme than pokemon designs normally go. Buzzwole and Pheromosa are great in my opinion, and I personally quite like Poipole and Naganadel. I also think Guzzlord and Nihilego are fun. But in my opinion, they would have ALL been better off just being normal mons. Give Guzzlord 2 prevos and make him a second pseudo for the region, make Buzzwole and Pheromosa each have a prevo and an alt evo for the male versions that they currently don't have, and you could probably just upgrade nihilego into either a very rare mon or, if you want the plot to be based on it still, make it a bona fide legendary instead of its ambiguous state it's in now. If you gave slight redesigns to xurkitree, stakataka, blacephalon, and heck a bit more aggressive redesigns for celesteela and kartana, they'd all be great NORMAL pokemon THAT YOU COULD CATCH AND USE IN THE GAME INSTEAD OF BEING POST-GAME ONLY god I hate that so many mons are just filler by virtue of not being usable in the game itself kill whoever at gamefreak keeps arguing about adding mythicals and post-game exclusive mons. God I hate it so much. These games are such shit.
