4. Will you play as a boy or a girl?
Depends really. I don't really like the boy's design for Alola. But he looks better in the new game. Most likely I will choose the girl again though.
5. A character from SM that you hope returns/gets an expanded role
Kahili. She was a members of the Elite 4, but compared to the other members, you didn't know anything about her. I was hoping that since she was hinted at in the Demo and said to be an extremely powerful trainer, she would have a bigger part in the game.
6. A character from a past gen game you would like to see return
Leaf/Green since she was left out and maybe Cyrus to hint at a 4th Gen remake at a later time. Especially since in the manga, 4th Gen happens far later than other gens. Would also love to see Black and White or Cheren and Bianca.
7. A rumour that you think/hope is false.
Gladion having Nebby. I just don't think it would work. Definitely wouldn't be as fun as Nebby and Lillie.
8. A Legendary/Mythical Pokemon that you'd like to see in USUM
I want Darkrai to become catchable like Deoxys. Ho-oH and Cresselia would also be nice since they match Rainbow and Darkness.
