      Corsola legit DID improve by dying. In competitive Corsola was always an also-ran without much going on about it, but Galarian Corsola and its evolution figured out a way to actually be interesting and good.
      Galarian Corsola's also one of the few with the dubious honor of being better than its final evolution; they only really want to be tanks, and Galarian Corsola + Eviolite has better defensive stats than Cursola.

    These were a blast and a fun way to see the newer gen Pokemon, having not played the games. You ever thought about doing some Digimon rankings?

    I always really liked Mega Lopunny's fighter design. I'd love if it just simply became Lopunny's third evolution form

    I like how he mentioned that the megas were going to be judged on their own merit rather than in relation to their original and then almost immediately going back on that, made this extra funny to watch

    I think gigantimax charizard should've gone more to the roots of its creature. Like large four legend dragon

    I didn't know Inteleon's tower was its tail and that just made it 100x better.

    I love how hard they lean into Alolan Exeggutor. It just made me realize they could embrace Wailord's exaggerated size in a similar way, though

      imagine a gigantamax Wailord... he'd be a freaking planet at that point.

      @@taloscal if you Dynamax a Wailord it looks roughly as large as it's supposed to normally. And then they put the wild Wailord in Isle of Armor and I wish I hadn't caught it

      What's actually funny is it makes sense for the dragon typing too. I learned this today through lockstin and gnoggin (highly recommend their channel), but basically its partially based on a mo-o (or something like that) and in the western world we adapted the word to mean dragon, but its really lizard (specifically gecko) with special powers, most often shapeshifting. And what did they turn into most? Humanish things and palm trees. Mo-o dragon tree

      If you've played Colosseum or XD, you'll notice that Wailord basically takes up the entire fucking screen lmao. All the other models are TINY in comparison haha

      Gigantamax Wailord that grows so large it devours the battlefield, becoming a terrain effect, with its uvula being the target wen?

    I don’t want to be the “um actually” guy but FYI the hair-looking stuff on the alolan geodude gang is iron because they are magnetic. If you ever pick up a bunch of grains of iron sand stuff with a magnet it looks like that

    Would love to see this revisited with all of the Hisuian regional variants/evolutions, but I'd understand if you maybe wanna wait until Gen 9 to build up a bit more of a buffer of Pokemon to talk about.

    All the Mega Evolution ratings hurt me. My boy Mega Houndoom and Aggron, best designed Mega’s by far
