Alright my thoughts on all this:
- Trainers: The girl trainer is the cutest thing ever and has managed to make me do something I haven't done since I registered here: change my avatar The boy just looks... dull and has a creepy look on his face.
- Hau: His official art is too precious, I forgive him for being another (too) friendly rival.
- Lillie: Not sure what to think about her yet, she doesn't seem to like battling so sadly she probably isn't a rival. Hopefully she has an interesting story then.
- Professor Kukui: I'm glad Kukui is confirmed as the professor, Pokémon professors still always wear lab coats confirmed. Still sad it's no female professor though and he doesn't seem very interesting yet.
We already had a female professor, being professor Juniper in Gen 5. I kinda want a jerk rival again like Silver or Gary though, because we've had too many friendly rivals.
- Legendaries: Happy that Solgaleo isn't fire type, two fire lions are enough thank you. Lunala is still my favourite though, I love how it looks in battle.
- Region: I also don't understand why people claim the region is small, it looks big enough to me. Especially the lower right island, looks like it can have at least four towns and there's a mountain and a water route too. As long as we haven't seen the actual routes, I don't think we can judge on this yet.
- Rotom Dex: Just... no, I hope I can turn it off as soon as I get it, it just seems annoying. Also kinda annoyed that an old Pokémon is getting the spotlight again, hardly before any new ones have been introduced.
Yeah, that's my fear for the Rotom Dex as well, though it kinda comes off as a rip-off of Whisper from Yo-Kai Watch, which makes me feel like they're trying too hard to compete with that franchise rather than try something on their own. I do wonder if it can battle.
Either way, I too am annoyed that an old Pokemon is getting the spotlight again before most of the new ones have been introduced, other than the three starters and the legendaries. Granted I'm glad it's not a Gen 1 Pokemon for once (but also a non-Gen 1 Pokemon that isn't Lucario since TPCi seems to often ignore 90% of all non-Gen 1 Pokemon that aren't starters or legendaries except for Lucario for some reason). This was one of my problems with Gen 6 was the overfocus on Mega Evolutions over the new Pokemon, especially Charizard and Lucario, the latter originally having debuted in the exact same generation as Rotom and got probably MORE over-exposure in Gen 6 than it ever did in it's debut generation, even if you include the 8th movie.
