so after nearly 22 years, they went and japan-ized the yellow/blue logo that nearly the rest of not-japan was putting up with since 1998?

after radio silence it was announced we were to get a uniquo tie-in with the winning design of a pokemon t-shirt contest to appear as a clothing item in-game, and that clothing customization is returning

except the dumbass that won the contest absolutely thunderfucked the whole thing for himself and all parties involved in the contest because he already used the shirt's design for shit like phone cases

all winnings were forfeited and the whole contest was thrown in the fire

here's the thing...except giratina, every box art legendary is here, then mewtwo (a given seeing as it has gen I stardom status and mew is confirmed as a ballplus bonus), arceus, and ultra necrozma

if this gives some indication on what will be in the galar dex, then ultra necrozma's possible inclusion is peculiar in the confirmed absence of Z-moves and their crystals, which is literally the gimmick that gave birth to its design

of course, all of the gen I superstars are here; in a scheme as old as gen VI, game freak can't afford to leave out any of the high profile gen I pokemon, especially when they're already under intense scrutiny of the pokemon fanbase;
we're yet to see the so-called advanced quality that music man masuda promised in lieu of a cut dex...instead, people are finding N64 trees, accessories clipping an NPC model's arm, and hau's animations literally being copypasted on hop
