Yea there doesn't really seem to be anything unique about it honestly. I guess you can almost say the same thing about komala except for the tiny white fluffs it has, but even it at least has the wooden thing it holds and is always asleep for a gimmick. I guess the toucan looks angry, so maybe somehow it will get some unique ability for that. It just seems weird in this gen with so many new type comboes and new abilities that they would go to just having another plain jane normal/flying bird.

And on the topic of simplistic/animalistic designs, I'm glad they at least for the most part kept that up with the starters. There's usually only one starter that's kind of human-esque (usually fire). I don't mind that the other dex Pokemon might be based on more inanimate objects and anthropomorphic animals than they have been before because it seems pretty even. I think gen VI might be the only gen where they really pushed the humanoid features on the starters (and yes I know it was a theme) and it is the worst starter trio in my opinion (although I don't know if that's really why, but it plays a big part, especially with Delphox). I'm glad besides Litten3, that they didn't really continue with that this gen.
Surely, I do agree with you.
However, judging by comments I find accord with my thoughts, I'm not getting it's just a design thing. After playing the demo, what I'm going at is that regardless of people of any age liking what we got, it's clear that the target is a younger audience (hence the emotional teasers with kids, goofy designs, extra lighthearted humor and dialogues, unprecedented helpful ui and in-game content, use of first generation to yet again make the generation feel familiar, etc.) and naturally that might be what is leaving us low on said standards, which we should not expect to be fulfilled anymore.
They've had teasers with kids, goofy designs, and light hearted humor going back to gen 1.

I like a lot of the pokemon in Gen 7, but like in every Gen, there are more pokemon that i dislike. But Gen 7 is doing better now than Gen6 or even previous gens, well, then again, we don't know the typings of the new pokemon yet, but i hope they are good. Gen 6 had way too many ghost types and fairy types, the two types i hate the most.
My complaints with Gen 7 right now, nerfed priority moves, i mean that will only make speed more important than ever, if they were going to nerf priority moves, it should only be for pokemon with gale wings or prankster or extreme speed or technician or battle bond, the rest don't have to have their priority moves nerfed. Priority moves aren't that powerful for most pokemon to begin with.

Careful? Where's the fun in that?
I'm pretty sure anything that runs priority tends to be powerful in general... Scizor, Azumarill, Talonflame, there's hardly a weak user in that list. So you kinda have to nerf it all if your gonna nerf it at all
Fair enough. Still think this gen depicted less variety on age at advertisement and enhanced the childish vibe though.

Most priority users that use quick attack, sucker punch, mach punch, aqua jet, etc, aren't that powerful, and need those priority moves. by nerfing all priority moves, you are hurting even the pokemon that aren't that powerful to begin with. Nerfs should be more surgical, target specific OP pokemon like those you mentioned, again pokemon with moves like extreme speed, dragon dance/shell smash/ quiver dance, pokemon with abilities like technician, huge power, gale wings, prankster, parental bond...
One of the audio files from the demo is a track from XY -- "me_xy_quest.dspadpcm"
And as officially stated, the OST for SM will have 15 tracks from XY.
This is Looker's jingle on XY's post-game quests (not to be confused with his actual theme though).
Entirely possible that he's making an appearance again.

Uhhh... Mach Punch is exclusively used by Iron Fist and Technician users. Quick Attack has only ever seen usage on Diggersby and Staraptor, strong Normal types. Even still, Priority isn't exclusively used because it's the best move available to any given Pokemon, it's used to revenge kill or pick off... if it was weak to begin with, it's not worth using in the first place. So again, if you're gonna nerf Priority at all, you have to nerf all of it.
Dance Moves have no priority, so I'm not sure why your mentioning that, unless your talking about Prankster Taunt to prevent it from happening
Am I the only one who think Ultra Beast are closely related to some game character??

This has already been pointed out many times, except 02 Beauty is Lusamina, not Plumeria.

People have been thinking that ever since the Ultra Beasts were revealed.
I think he's confusing Oricorio's ability withy Comfey's ability.

Pretty sure he's talking OPness and nerfing in general in that part not priority.

Also for the record Parental Bond did get nerfed... second hit only does 25% damage. But even then Fake Out is a total waste on Mega Kanga since it loses Scrappy. You'll see it in Doubles, but that's literally it. It's usually P-u-P, Return, Earthquake, and Dark move of choice (SP and Crunch)

I'm sad that Joltik missed out on appearing in Alola to meet it's Spider brethren, yet Aridos did make it
