Wimpod: Well, I do not like ugly pokemon, but I do not mind, if not, welcome their inclusion in the game to diversify the pokemon I will be facing off against. I will say the this little guy is actually sort of cute because it is panic-ridden. It actually reminds me of something that would be included in Rick and Morty with that animation in the face. This will almost definitely evolve into a non-wimp offensive powerhouse OR into a highly defensive hermit covered in a shell. I am hoping for the latter because it would be cute to see a giant crab be a little skiddish little wuss. Again, something I will put on my team any time soon, but it's a nice design.

Bounsweet: Based off a Mangosteen (which I didn't know about until today) this little guy is likely to gain a flying type because it tries to lift itself off the ground in order to avoid being ingested! It seems almost evident that it will flower as pictured below, and thus hang from the trees in full bloom. The evolution could go the elegant or cute route, but I am fine either way! the elegant route will likely have the red fruit petals beneath it that allows it to glide whereas the cute route will likely have bloomage and leaves on the top with it's little face and body beneath it.
I was hoping we would get a flower/fruit plant grass-type pokemon soon, and this one is likely to have a spot on my team. I mean, what a beautiful flower/plant/fruit to base a concept from!
10/10
Mudsdale: It is a majestic, regal, and cute powerhouse! The best part is the color palette and concept -- using a clay-orange on the ends of it's hooves and mane to appear as if it is itself is a moving mudslide. Everything about it is really just amazing; including it's new stamina ability which increases its defense each time it is hit. This could be useful in switching into a weak attack. Yet another new contender to be on my team!
10/10
Comfey: I do like it, but I am a bit disappointed that the lei was not incorporated into a design rather than being the design if you catch my drift. Either way, it is cute. Though there is the obligatory kelfki comparison to be made, I at least like that this it's a little sprite with a long flowered-tail rather than a key chain with collected keys...Though, again, it's not my favorite incorporation of the lei, but it is cute. It could get an evolution as well which could be a real seller, but I am thinking it will not.

The trend of uniquely unconventional pokemon immersed in this tropical region's ecosystem continues! It's a continuation and improvement of RSE and ORAS in every way so far.
Also, I love mimiku's animation and ability shown in the video...it's still a solid 9/10 for me.
And the concept art does not do the animation of Bewear justice at all. So that was nice to see. It just jumped from the 5-6 range to the 7-8 range for me.
