His other arm going behind his back looks a bit like the same arm, so I could see that appearing to "push" the donut forward along the arm.

I will say someone had fun with names
seems like it. Some of those names sound cool.
 
Fake list aside, I would actually love to have a Fire/Electric type.
Same, that would be a really neat typing, especially if we had it on a starter.

I really hope we get a good handful of unused, or at least underused typings for Pokemon. There are so many different type possibilities that can be explored. Ice/Bug is a type I've been wanting to see for a while now. I would love to see a really cool butterfly or moth with icy crystal wings. Fairy/Dragon is another type I've been wanting to see since the Fairy type came out. Maybe give it a really sleek look with cute little fairy or angel wings.
 
I want to see fairy dragon too! I'd love for us to get a really small but powerful dragon Pokemon, and I think dragon/fairy would work really well for that typing-wise.

I'd also really love to see an opossum, kangaroo, and more dessert themed monsters, and some new evolutions for older Pokemon would be really cool too. Maybe Maractus, Donphan, Zangoose and Seviper, Carnivine, or Chatot?

Hippowdon could also use a mega evolution or something- ever since it lost its sprite where it's submerged in a big pile of sand, it's felt really underwhelming design-wise, and I don't hear about anyone using it much either.
 
I want to see more mythical creatures as Pokemon, out of the ones that exist now, we only have Chinese dragons, European dragons, wyverns and fairies. How about a griffin Pokemon? How about a minotaur Pokemon? I just want to see more mythical creatures as Pokemon in general.

EDIT: Forgot we have Phoenix Pokemon as well.

Since I'm personally interested in Japan, I hope we'll see more Pokémon based on traditional youkai or other Japanese things, like Dusclops and Shiftry. The cultural difference shoudn't be a problem, Darmanitan is also native to Unova for example.
 

Agreed.

Gen 8 is to the Switch, as Gen 4 is to the DS. I mean think about it

Gen 1 (GB): Flat Pixels
Gen 2 (GBC): Coloured Flat Pixels
Gen 3/Gen 1 Remake (GBA): Advanced Pixels
Gen 4/Gen 2 Remake (DS): 2.5D Pixels
Gen 5 (DS): 2.75D Pixels
Gen 6/Gen 3 Remake (3DS): 3D Pixels
Gen 7 (3DS)/Gen 1 Remake 2.0 (Switch): Improved 3D Pixels
Gen 8 (Switch): Realistic 3D Game
