I'm.. I.. what?
I'm not going to call it unnecessary because imo Pokémon, just like any other game, needs to keep doing new things. But this is a bit foreign. I don't know I want to see how it works in practice; I'd much rather these forms be permanent evolutions rather than in-battle forms, but like I said I want to see it in practice.
Ampharos' weave though, omg.
I like Blaziken and Mawile's forms the best. Lucario looks a bit superheroish and Absol is giving me raging demon/angel lesbian teas, I agree.
