Hmm, Zacian looks to me like somebody asked what Suicune might be like if it were a wolf instead of a cat. And more recycles than I’d like – _another_ sheep, flower, turtle, crow, and wolf… ---

I mean, different kinds of animals and flowers exist, so why keep it at one family per species ---

Also corviknight isn’t a crow, it’s based off a raven. ---

Which is why I still find it surprising that it’s a Steel/Flying type, and not a Dark/Flying type. [shrug.] As far as recycled species are concerned, they wanted to preserve a British look to it and its species are very limited, so I understand their use of a sheep, raven and wolf. Honestly, wolves are underrepresented in the Pokemon world. ---

True I also questioned the typing, but I’m guessing they wouldn’t want more dark/flying types (since there are 5 others who have that typing) compared to the steel/flying type which only has 2 if you don’t count corviknight. I also understand the recycling of some animals that they use as Pokémon, and I’m actually not that bothered by it. (Secretly hoping they have a new snake, lion and a badger Pokémon so I can have all 4 houses of hogwarts on my team lol) ---

Only time will tell. My biggest hope is that we get more Pokemon in general. These last two generations have been relatively scanty with their Dexes. ---
