Poison flower. I like it too :D
 
I just have to say, the fact that there are essentially 3 main quests (league challenge, titans, Team Star) that you flit between at your own will is really, really nice.

This game's gonna be good folks.

It's nice, but I feel like it's going to be quite a bit hard to actually find some meaningful challenge while keeping your experience open world since nothing scales according to your level.
 
I don't know what they were thinking with Flamigo. I normally don't complain much about designs since I focus more on competitive and usability, but, Jesus, Flamigo seems to be just a normal, real sized flamingo.
The dex entry notes that it ties up its neck, so I think they were trying to go with a balloon animal theme. I'm not sure it worked though. We don't get the association with balloon->air->Flying because it's already Flying for being a bird, and the most iconic balloon animal shape is canine.

Looking at what I just wrote, the concept would have worked great for a Flying Eeveelution.

I think level scaling should have definitely been in the game, but I also like enough mons that I could legitimately rotate and wouldn't feel bad about it. We have portable PC back, after all.

Honestly it probably needed a pre-evolution, not the ostrich
 
I feel like the designs this generation have the biggest gulf between "absolute weirdos" and "this is just literally the animal" with little middle ground

that's not a bad thing, to be clear, but it's very funny to see things like Poison Flower and Cleopatra Ostrich next to "literally a flamingo" and "dolphin: the dolphin". Just feels more striking this generation than prior
