Passimian since it fits with Rugby
I mean good designs are subjective, aren't they.
Trubbish has grown on me since gen 5 came out, I don't think pidove line are amazing but I still find them interesting. The Timburr line, I must admit is a line I also wish hadn't made the cut.
Nice to see someone else hoping Turtwig gets into this game! I think he may be the Pokemon I want the most to be in! And Minun of course.Sewaddle at least, hopefully Turtwig. I want to do a grass monotype playthrough and those are two Mons I want on my team badly.
I am honestly kind of excited to see who made the cut and who did not. I am trying to control my expectations, so I won't be crushed if Turtwig is out, but if I cannot get Sewaddle I will be pretty bummed, ha ha.
I'm not so worried about who returns and who doesn't, but I'd like for some of the weaker or less popular Pokemon that do return to be improved on, whether it be through stat buffs, learnset changes, ability changes, or whatever.
Also, first official sighting of the Helioptile family. Still no sign of Drifloon, though.
Never mind, I saw Drifblim.Drifloon and Drifblim have both been confirmed for Sword and Shield.
As for Pokemon I would like to see get new forms:
Houndour line: the lack of seeing it worries me but ever since mega forms it has sort of been paired with the Electrike line as a version exclusive. Also there are a lot of ghost or what are referred to as black dogs in British folklore. Such as Church Grimm, Padfoot (you can tell where J.K got some of her mythos from), Muckle Black Tyke and Gwyllgi just to list four of them. So I would like to see it gain the ghost type, either becoming our second water/ghost line or maybe becoming pure ghost. Maybe our first ghost/rock type. Though this might not fit as well depending which one they base it off of.
Ducklett line: the only Pokemon line that game out after gen 3 and the least likely in my opinion on this wish list. We are an island with a lot of different water and costal birds, the Queen and royal family are so attached to Swans it is illegal to hunt or kill a swan as they are protected by the Queen. I feel this should keep the water typing but become part Fairy instead.
Phanpy line: this is partly assuming the mystery Pokemon we saw Chairman Rose throw out is not related to Polteageist is some way. I would love to see something to to recognize the connects and history between Britain and India. Based on the colour of the mystery Pokemon and Electirc/fire type would be interesting.
Aron line: in my mind when this line evolves it already looks Knight like. So maybe make it more so and give it Steel/fighting.
