Scorbunny becoming Electric makes sense. The bandage may be rubber.
The term "Scorch" is sometimes used for electricity terminology as well.

"Sword & Shield"
Well, it was only an matter of time before GF ran out of colors and minerals...But wait, that was Gen 6.
And didn't they already done the sword & shield motif?

It will indeed he very interesting to see what this rabbit looks like, considering the other rabbit Pokemon. Maybe it'll be a jackalope (even if that's more American).

There are all sorts of fantasy creatures in British Isle folklore that would make for awesome Pokemon. A Water/Ghost Pokemon based on the Kelpie or Bean Nighe, a Grass Type sheep-like Pokemon based on the Vegetable Lamb Of Tartary, maybe a Fairy Type version of Ponyta and Rapidash that leans more into their Unicorn origins if Galaran regional forms are going to be a thing, a regional bird Pokemon based on the Cockatrice or Griffins. So much inspiration to draw from!
It’s kind of a shame we got a lion mascot legendary last gen, because a lion and unicorn would have been the perfect mascot legendaries for a UK based region. Maybe they could be regular version exclusive Pokemon instead?

They could also borrow from both Welsh and possibly Irish myth and folklore as well. I won't be surprised to see a dragon that's similar to the Welsh Dragon (coincidentally, today is St David's day which is important in Wales).
I wonder if we'll see any Pokémon species that were native to Galar and similar species that were introduced (such as grey squirrels outcompeting and killing red squirrels). I'm looking forward to seeing the new Pokémon regardless of whether or not they borrow from myth and folklore.

Aren't you used to it?
I'm so glad I wasn't sucked into Pokemon Platinum. Diamond and Pearl's story was absolutely terrible, there was no way I was gonna waste more money on Pokemon. I did hear that Platinum "fixed" D&P's problems, but thats the point. Those problems should have just been fixed in the first place!
Surely they could have come up with a better Evil Team (I was actually rooting for Team Galactic you know) and a much better selection of Fire Pokemon.

A lot of people act like Gen 4 is the shit but I find Diamond and Pearl incredibly boring compared to all the other Gens. Gameplay was just slow and it felt like grinding when I wasn't. The new Pokemon were solid though.

Also the male protagonist was the lamest ever.
I liked all the starters (but hated how the anime portrayed Chimchar. What a pathetic baby) and they all had great, badass evolutions. Empoleon was a monster with Flash Cannon STAB.
And the Sinnoh Region wasn't terrible, it was just real hard to solidify a team early on.

I remember seeing all the fanart of Litten's possible final evolution showing quadruped circus tigers and ligers and whatnot and getting hyped...and then we got another bipedal fighter.

I love the concept of a wrestling heel Pokémon though. And people can complain all they want about him being a fighter, but he was still Fire/Dark. Plus, there’s already a bipedal giant circus cat fire Pokémon
Though at this point, I almost wish all the final evolutions will be Fighting types just to spite people

Hahaha yeah.
Probably not original with this but good God the new starters look like parade balloons. I miss the days when Pokémon designs incorporated other forms besides perfectly circular spheres and didn't use every color in the rainbow.

They admittedly do tend to get a bit more complicated as they evolve. The pre evolutions are normally the simplest looking ones.
Also, this fakemon is currently trending.

Well somehow they managed to do it before just fine.
Look at this motherfucker with his busy linework on the shell. Actual detail without cluttering up the design while his final evolution still manages to top it in complexity. Starting from gen 2, the designs just get so overly cutesy, busy or both. Compare that weird water squirrel to the recently revealed ones:
Somehow, despite these starters being made on better hardware, they have less detail and texture than before. And I'm sure there are people who love the cute spherical designs but to me they scream cynical cashgrabs. I dunno, the gen 1 designs weren't all winners but at least they looked like animals.

I feel like that’s more a curse of 2D art vs 3D models. And those were cutscene versions anyway.Well somehow they managed to do it before just fine.

Not that you don’t have a point, just that they do have a bit more detail to them in the 2D Art(like the change in color on the tips of Schorbunny’s ears and feet).

People often hate on new starters, especially with out the context of their Evolutions. Gen 5 was there only time they were right though.
I'm wishing for a Spring Heel Jack.
All the thinking about Pokemon did spur me into getting Ultra Sun to catch up on the last mainline game I haven't played, I really enjoy S&M, and think the alternate universe where the villains won idea is cool, so we'll see how it goes. Planning on Nuzlocking it, I had a good time with Omega Ruby even though Gen 3 is my least favorite, and I'm thinking about using X, Omega Ruby, and Moon with the Pokemon Bank, to be able to quasi-randomize it too. (Catch them Nuzlocke style, then make a partial list of potentially Pokemon (appox same Evolution stage), and select with RNG, and breed/catch approximate level Mon) so I should say least get am interesting time out of that.

You mean Gen 2, where all the starters were shitty and outclassed early in the game and the only reason people remember them at all is anime nostalgia. Gen 5 at least has one pokemon that's good mechanically (Contrary Serperior) and Emboar is a pretty solid design visually.
