I haven't even finished Moon all the way yet but for discussion sake's it's my favorite game since Gold & Silver. It was amazing to have characters with fleshed-out personalities and motivations. My only complaint is too many short cutscenes where dialogue may have served better but it was both gorgeous and challenging. Bummed about Gyms coming back because I loved the trial system. If they're going to have Gyms they should do a twist on them where it's not types but a common theme. Like a trainer who uses Cats so Liepard, Persian, Purugly can all be on the same team I wish each region had a unique "gym system". Honestly, Pokemon is the game the most leans on the past(well if you dont count sport games). They reuse the same design for almost everything in the main part of the game.And they ahve the resource and team to do new stuff.They just dont want to .It is pokemon,it is gonna sell.

Also not hot on the starters. Not gonna hold onto that yet though since I hated Litten's design but Incineroar is probably my favorite final evolution

There is no way I’m not picking a Scorbunny and naming it Seth. It's too perfect. Scorbunny is Seth due to burning it down, Sobble is Roman due to wet-down hair, Grookey is Dean because of the options he would definitely be a monkey. If only it was the grass raccoon. Anyway, Ill be getting both, but if I had to pick due to forum biast, I'd be team Shield. As for starters, Undecided on Pyrowabbit and Water thing. Dont care for monkey

What made me tired of Gyms too is that 95% of the puzzles were tedious chores. I'd rather the Gyms just be used for a one-on-one battle after having a character building interaction or quest with the leader. I also miss the raw exploration of the first game which they'll probably never do again. I liked not knowing where I should go next and only seldom having the plot show up.

It being the UK makes a lot of sense considering Meltan is actually kind of reminiscent of the last UK Olympics mascot.

Looks cool.
I did like the challenges from Sun/Moon but I know a lot of people wanted the gyms back so that's fine too.
Not sure on teh starters... none stand out right now as dammit I have to get this one... like Rowlett and Squirtle did for me.
I guess we'll see what they evolve into.

I really want Sobble, one of my friends wants Scorbunny. I feel a bit bad for Grookey. Grass types starters often seem to start at a disadvantage when it comes to getting love, and it doesn't look like Grookey's changing that trend.

Chikorita, Snivy, and Chespin are all easily my favorites of those generations. If anything for me I'd say my least favorite a lot of the time is probably Fire. Would say that's the case for Gen 1, 2, 5, and 7. And has my least favorite base form in Gen 4, but I like Torterra more than Infernape.

I usually go for fire or grass, but it's looking like I am going for Water this time, unless there's the evolved forms, typing, etc, changes my mind. Part of why is that you often get access to grass types earlier than water, while they stuff fire pokemon way at the end of the game. I'm glad they're breaking from that a bit, since it means it's often to your advantage to pick up a Fire early, plus it's less of an issue with online trading, obviously.

People's interpretations of Galar as full of hooligans, blokes, Monty Python characters, and every other dumb stereotype they can think of Britain is probably going to be more entertaining that the sterilized anime depiction of England. Though, in the case of hooligans, I'm hoping we have a Team Skull-like faction that's based off soccer hooligans that chant and the rank and file are depicted by the type of scarf they have. As long as we never go back to Team Flare, that's awesome; though I'd prefer it if we never went back to a villainous agency (heck, Team Rainbow Rocket could just fill in from here on out as a group that DID succeed and now that they're bored, want to go to other dimensions to cause more mayhem).
Also, they kinda got the map wrong. They flipped it around where you start in Scotland and London is above the Highlands, except London is at the bottom of Great Britain. Also, I am going to feel bad for the Welshies; they're likely going to be forgotten about.

When it comes to the setting I'm mostly just hoping I see at least one thing that makes me think of Gunnerkrigg Court. Which will probably end up being the required forest setting.
I already got my feel of thinking of Princess Principal from the trailer so they've got one point with me there.

If it's any consolation for you, I am seeing more support for Grookey than I initially did, even if I am still seeing more fanart of the other two so far.

I just of thought of something, with the game being in a region based on the United Kingdom wouldn't it be cool in the post game if you can take a ferry across the channel to the France like Kalos region?
