They could've set expectations a bit, though. It also took a while before G. Ponyta was officially announced to the public.

The issue wasn’t solved though... Ponyta only appeared at a specific moment at the end and the rest of it was literally empty. The stream shouldn’t have been so stagnant.I think they made it 24 hours so that people in all time zones would have a chance to tune in -
I think they made it 24 hours so that people in all time zones would have a chance to tune in - they weren't expecting anyone to watch the whole thing. What they didn't take into account, though, was the poor webmasters of Pokemon fan sites, like Joe Merrick, who actually stayed awake for the full 24 hours in order to provide us with up-to-the-minute news coverage!
I actually have quite fond memories of that stream - I only tuned in for relatively short periods here and there, but it was very atmospheric, and quite relaxing. It was amazing to see so much buzz and excitement around a new Pokemon reveal. Galarian Ponyta (and Rapidash) is one of my favourite new Pokemon, mostly because I love the design, but the interesting way it was revealed might have also played a part.
Ask Masuda, not me. He made the argument...Target audience's short attention span'? That's a worthless argument.
Runerigus is definitely the most unexpected. The first Galarian Yamask I ran into happened to be Shiny, so I caught it and made it part of my team, and it ended up being a really great addition.
As for Galarian forms themselves, Meowth. I'll never not be a sucker for Meowth and its evos, no matter the form lol.
All this tells me is that Gamefreak really dislikes PersianIt's been surprising to see Meowth getting so much special treatment of late. Its evolution family is getting quite big!
Same could be said about Raichu.All this tells me is that Gamefreak really dislikes Persian
At least Alolan Raichu was awesome tho.Same could be said about Raichu.
At least Persian is Giovanni's boi. There's at least one Raichu diss episode in the anime every 5 years.Same could be said about Raichu.

I found a shiny one who I like.Another Pokemon that's won a piece of my heart lately is Stonjourner. It has a mystical vibe thanks to its interesting lore, but at the same time, it's also endearingly silly. I like that juxtaposition. I've been enjoying seeing them ambling around the Crown Tundra.

It’s kind of weird of them to exclude features due to "target audience's short attention span" and then make a marketing move which tests the attention spans of even the most patient people.
