Since I don't know what they're doing with Ash's team there is something that I'm not happy about, and would potentially cause me to dislike Ash's eventual Sirfetch'd even more.
The anime since 6th generation has always had issues with giving Ash a full team. I don't know why, but in Kalos he released Greninja (that's supposed to say Goodra, thanks brain for failing me, LOL) before getting Noibat, and in Alola he released Poipole before he caught Meltan and after a long while I might add. 6 weeks with only 4 Pokemon on Ash's team in 6th generation and 22 damn weeks/episodes in Alola, holy crap I knew it was a long gap I didn't realize it was that damn long.
Ash (not counting Mr. Mime) already has five Pokemon:
Pikachu
Dragonite
Gengar
Riolu
Farfetch'd
If Ash is only getting one more Pokemon which would suck to be honest, but still a possibility, I want to express how pissed I'll be if Ash's last Pokemon will be Grookey/Rillaboom. If Ash doesn't get more than this after Grookey, Sirfetch'd will automatically become my least favorite Pokemon. I get the appeal of a regional variant, and I understand why they would choose Farfetch'd.
BUT there were so many better choices than Farfetch'd. Look I could live with just Tyranitar being Ash's last Pokemon or even Chandelure or even Garchomp, and be fine with Sirfetch'd because at least they wanted to give Ash ONE Galar Pokemon and maybe they just randomly selected Farfetch'd, not entirely happy but I would have to shrug my shoulders.
But if Ash does get Grookey, and locks out Ash from getting anything else hypothetically, because Sirfetch'd is pure fighting I'll be infinitely more annoyed with Sirfetch'd because they chose to give Rillaboom to Ash. If it was one 8th generation Pokemon, they just chose Sirfetch'd at random chance, I'm not happy with it, but its fine. If they give Ash Rillaboom, then I have to think they intentionally gave Ash Sirfetch'd, which annoys me so more than random chance because there were SO many better choices.
Sure Farfetch'd was also likely chosen because of the Riolu partnership, fine......but I will still not be happy with them giving Ash Sirfetch'd over any other 8th generation. Which is another reason why I do not like Go, and how they're treating Ash this generation. Ash is missing out on cool 8th generation Pokemon, that they're going to shove onto Go, and it's like that's not fair, why doesn't Ash get to have a good collection of 8th generation Pokemon it is the current generations (which is why I want Ash with 12 captures this generation, for world tour reasons AS well as 8th generation captures). It's not going to happen but whatever.
My feelings aside, if Ash does get Grookey/Rillaboom and that's it or even just one more Pokemon and that's it, I definitely have to give kudos to all of you Sirfetch'd fans who clearly won the jackpot. What are you going to do with your winnings? Buy a house, buy a car? Buy the Pokemon anime?
