Not sure what to think about the preview for HZ102.
Any thoughts about that one Pokemon from HZ057 (Carbou) making a return?
#or speculations in general.. anyway i'll just write mine#not sure what to think about the narrative purpose of this.. which will probably be more clear once the ep is actually released but#like do we think it's a team addition.. usually in hz so far.#all captures were built up and had a whole ep dedicated to them (mibrim kanuchan etc)#trainer bonding with the pkmn and the focus being on that specifically. not a bunch of things happening at once#i don't think we need additions to teams at this point in the story.. lucario is already pushing it#the narrative is structured around smaller teams which fit the characters thematically etc. and it's good that way#plus.. hz struggles with balancing the focus on secondary pkmn (which is changing a bit now but still)#an addition would upset that balance which is already frail enough as is.. i wouldn't like additions for the sake of it#they need to have meaning and fit the characters and feel rewarding.#like i'm not even sure how they'd handle liko and dot getting megas.. i'd like to see it but there are limited options. i guess we'll see#but i really like their small teams. feels like their characters were designed for these specific partners#and the way they grow with them and evolve through the story.#which is why the idea of a baby pkmn feels jarring to me at this point of the story (third year of hz)#additionally.. carbou is cute but that not-soublades evolution is not a slay. we have enough fire types as is too#doesn't really fit thematically either to me#anyway.. the idea doesn't sound convicing to me from what we've had so far.#we'll just have to wait and see..#but i never really got the idea that a character /needs/ more pkmn. a whole other can of worms.#anyway.. this is the only window of time we can still talk about this i guess. i was thinking about it
