Also, I'd like most of the PCU works to have a serious tone, though it's OK to have occasional humor, and in cases like Detective Pikachu, quite a bit of funny moments, but otherwise they should be drama.

And to follow up on the Blaziken Mask and Gligarman movies...the humans themselves don't have actual powers, they're more like Batman in that they use gadgets, and in their case, Pokemon.

Oh ok. I don't remember how Blaziken/Gligarman were like since I watched those episodes long ago, but that seems obvious.

I don’t really keep up with the anime but I did see when it evolved into Primarina. I like the species in general.

I’ve mainly watched general nature documentaries, but I remember I saw one not long ago that featured elephant seals and talked about climate change.

I also often regularly watched shows that aired on Saturdays featuring sea rescues where they had saved different pinnipeds, along with other animals. Have you seen these?

Yup, specifically the pups as well. Must be because of their plumpness and white fur. I also watched some videos with seal pups that were so adorable.

Ever wish you could be reincarnated as a seal?

Lol! I dunno about that. It must feel cozy having all that blubber though. I could definitely use some right about now since it suddenly got colder in my area.

I’ve actually been thinking of going to a local zoo with my parents before the summer ends. Would be great to see something like a sea lion show again, the last time I saw one being in Sea World a while ago.

I went to a zoo in a different state. I got to see sea lions and elephant seals. However, there were only female elephant seals, so I didn’t see any males and their unique proboscis.

XY went back to simplistic storylines. SM tried to offer more, but I feel Ultra Beasts are out of place and complicate things more. USUM and LGPE are just... there’s so much more that could be added to them than just a copy/paste story. Especially since they did so much for BW2.

In terms of characters, I wish there were consistently more to them. BW gave more them more of a purpose and integrated them with the theme well. Those like rivals and champions seem to have become so generic even in the new games.

In Sword/Shield, the rival appears to be just a typical friendly companion on your journey, like Hau and the XY ones. The champion is merely described as undefeatable but nothing else. Maybe there’s more to them to find out, but somehow I doubt it,

Thinking that the platypus could easily be the water starter

Yeh definitely. Would be great to see a grass koala, fire kangaroo, and water platypus like what people have been hoping to see.

Thinking of the same thing too!

Glad to see another thinking the same way lol. Gen 7 just doesn’t cut it for me at all, it has plenty of things I don’t like. And Game Freak seems like they’re not putting out enough creativity in the recent games. There are plenty of better ways to change up the stories and settings in USUM and LGPE and they ended up doing the most basic ones possible.
