I agree with
@BlazingAsh
Ash always having starters and a bird in his team was getting too boring
This atleast spices things up and gives some originality
Like what's the use of constantly seeing starters in every damn team he had? They are so boring seeing the same grass fire water powerhouse over and over again
I don't get the Gengar Lucario dragonite being popular so they are "oversaturated" argument? They are a new variety for Ash and it's fun to see him utilize new stuff, as rare as it is, it's breaking the status quo, which was sorely needed. Wish they continue this always for Ash and keep making his team unique
Also Galar starters are getting plenty focus, heck id daresay put forward that it's better than any other region
I know they are debuting late but they are receiving so much focus and screentime when they do, scorbunny to cinderace had an arc, sobble has an arc and is gonna involve into inteleon pretty much
Goh is developing them well
