Other regional evoltuons from the rumours were Meowth and Farfetch'd, I really like the idea too though! I think the Weezing one should have been an evolution maybe. I like the Linoone one but it's the same typing as Ratata/Raticate, whilst it makes sense the 4x Fighting weakness is a bit shit and I imagine it won't be hugely exciting to actually use or in terms of movepool/potential.

In the future a good idea for a "reboot" of sorts would be if they did an entire Pokedex (of a certain region, probably bloody Kanto again lmao) in different types. There's a fan game called Pokemon Insurgence that has loads called Delta species and there's some really cool ones, like a Fire/Water Lilligant, Dragon/Fairy Gorebyss, Flying/Fairy Raichu, Grass/Fire Greninja, it's really cool and invigorates some forgotten or kinda bland Pokemon. Actual Gamefreak are never that creative, but the fact they totally turned Vulpix and Ninetails for example upside down as ice types was so cool.

So how many Pikachu look-a-likes do we have now?

- Pichu/Raichu (duh)
- Plusle
- Minun
- Dedenne
- Pachirisu
- Emolga
- Togedemaru
- Mimikyu (well, sort of)
- Morpeko

Marrill also felt like a Pikachu inspired Pokemon at the time.

Am I forgetting any?

That's all of the, Marill was deffo meant to be one even though it's not electric (ik Mimikyu isn;t either but all the pikaclones otherwise are)! Idm most of them but this new one isn't even remotely trying laugh.gif

Of all the BotW features they could have adopted into the new Pokemon game.. they chose that?

Honestly not sure how I feel about this generation right now. None of the Pokemon have really excited me so far aside from the starters which for all we know could have disappointing evolutions and neither have any of the new features.

Sirfetch’d has been announced as Farfetch’d’s evolution properly. It’s exclusive to Sword though and I’ve pre-ordered Shield so I hope there’ll be an exclusive evolution to mirror it.

Sirfetch'd looks more interesting than the Linoone one but I wish it was Fighting/Flying! I pre-ordered Sword so that's a sure sign we'll end up getting a better one for Shield kink.gif

Both this, and the fact that it's Psychic type makes zero sense. At least retconning Sandshrew and Vulpix into version exclusives was excusable given that they were both redesigned as two-stage Ice-types. Farfetch’d doesn’t even have a Galarian form. It leads me to believe we’re getting far less regional evos than anticipated, which would suck but be very on-brand for this era of GF. I just want gen 2 icons Stantler and Girafarig to receive some love. cry.gif

I'd have loved, instead of ANOTHER gen 1 game in Let's Go if there was a reboot of types, like say ALL of the Kanto region had different typed forms but that was just the standard Pokedex, maybe like a parallel universe so like you could have the starters switching types, and then all sorts of crazy type switch ups of the Pokemon we know and love. I think that'd be such a fun idea that's worked really well in fan games!

It's such random Pokemon getting new forms, and not enough, it's just a random handful that's a waste of what could be potentially done with these new forms.
