   There being an explanation for it doesn’t make it not lazy. if the only design you can make for a concept is boring as hell, maybe don’t bother?   

See, this is kind of what I was talking about with people never being satisfied or happy with news. 

The Pokemon Company and Game Freak are making an effort to add new forms and new content to a third entry in a generation.  As far as I can remember this is the first instance of a new Pokemon form being released in the middle of a generation without it being locked behind an event, or being a legendary.

Had they not added it in, and we just got a slightly more polished Sun/Moon with some minor narrative differences people would be pissy and call it lazy, despite the exact same thing being what separated Crystal from Gold/Silver, Emerald from Ruby/Sapphire, and Platinum from Diamond/Pearl.  Now that they’re actually adding in new forms, reworking the story and having it in an alternate Alola, and have promised to include Pokemon that didn’t appear in Sun/Moon, it’s not enough and they’re still lazy.

You really want lazy?  Go back to First Generation where evolutions could be as plain as going from 1 to 3 with no other changes in multiple families.  Or where a design could be an amorphous blob in more than one family. Or better yet, go play a Digimon game which has maybe half as many Digimon available as an average Pokemon game has, and pads even that by claiming each individual color scheme of a Digimon is a completely separate entry and species.

We still have 3 months before the games come out, and we still know next to nothing about what’s going to be in it, but we do know that Game Freak is building new assets for an entry that’s only a year away from the originals, while working on a Switch title.

If you’re just going to complain about something that’s being actively worked on with next to no footage to judge it on, and your only complaint is that you think one design is lazy, maybe don’t bother yourself with the game to begin with.

Seriously?  Are there really people upset about this?

It’s a new form of an already existing Pokemon, of course it’s going to look similar to what’s already there.  It’s named Dusk form, and incorporates elements of both Midday and Midnight, while being THE COLOR OF THE SKY AT DUSK IN GAME.

I’m itching for Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon news too, and while I’m miffed that this is all we’ve gotten since the announcement too, calm down people.  Next thing you know we’ll get a new trailer that shows too much and you’ll be pissy about that too.

Trying to work on a Raricow update, can’t get anything to look right.  Suggestions or questions are welcome.
