OK, here's where this thread is standing, with the unlocking:
Given the widespread backlash and complaining about certain aspects of the work (i.e. Dexit), we wanted to communicate very clearly what we are not willing to put up with: prolonged, circular complaining (or wonking).
Of course, with a controversial subject that has a large impact on the gameplay, Dexit is in one of those areas where there it may be on-topic to discuss it, but the nature of that discussion can wildly vary. As has been said elsewhere, we ix-nayed discussion of Dexit entirely because it never seemed to happen without devolving into that kind of complaining.
However, we're willing to unlock the thread after this 3-day cooldown period because the Pokemon General thread has been stable enough. And -
Can I discuss Dexit?
Yes. But if there is prolonged wonking on it, the thread just becomes an echo chamber of complaints and we do not like that. No one likes that. The same rules as ever apply. Be a constructive, healthy space. Have conversations about what you like, and what you don't like, but the thread should not get locked into a series of bitter complaints.
If you have questions or concerns about mod implementation or action, we have a thread for that here
.
Alright? Thank you all for waiting this out. I hope we're all good now.

The King Without a Kingdom
And, y'know, Lopunny and Diggersby have been things for a while.
It's been 3000 years…
Y'know, it's kinda surprising that in eight generations, this is just the third bunny pokémon that's been introduced. We've got tons of dogs, cats, birds, mice, monkeys, even foxes, but rabbits? Just three of them.
You think that's bad? Not a single dolphin in sight. Maybe because all the people in the Pokemon world ate them all...

Now watch someone make a Fangame which effectively has the plot of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home with dolphins in place of Wailords...
Then again, how can Whale Song transmit through the vastness of space without being powerful enough to destroy whaling ships?

Presuming that you're referring to "how Whale song could transmit?": even if there were more than 6 "albums", it's rather unlikely for such a huge probe to just be a bunch of Groupies; Disco-ball transmitter notwithstanding.

... the Voyager program...?
I really like Team Yell concept,but will be better if they are play serious and not silly,Hoolliganism is a very dangerous problem on Latin America and Europe some of them kill people,I myself already suffer a incident on real life one day that don't want to remember.
So, Team Flare looks silly as well and end up very serious is soon to judge.

The Fastest Man Alive
Yyyyyeah. They have vuvuzelas. I wouldn't get your hopes up.
They're very serious vuvuzelas.
You know they're serious vuvuzelas because of the spikes.
They're very serious about their vuvuzelas.
The King Without a Kingdom
They're vuvuzelas of doom.
It's been 3000 years…
So, regular vuvuzelas.
Industrious Incisors
Apparently, Gene Simmons of KISS approves of Obstagoon.

Supposedly for reasons unbeknownst to man, Team Yell decided to interfere and prevent a doctor from treating a sick pokemon for whatever reason that the player has to deal with, so they're doing some pretty dickish things that can have dire consequences, even if they're not mustache twirling villains out to rule the world.
The King Without a Kingdom
So I guess they're the middle ground between Team Skull's patheticness and Team Rocket's jerkiness then.
It's been 3000 years…
I'm sorry Tien, but I must go all out.
I think Team Yell is going to be much smaller in scale than even Team Skull. While Team Skull occupied an entire desolate town, I wouldn't be surprised if Team Yell has less than a dozen members. They might be a bit more dickish than the generic Team Skull members, but they're probably even less of a threat, as a whole.
I just want to add we had 3 rabbits before scorbunny. Azumarril is classified as an aqua rabbit Pokemon.

Yeah, they're basically random cruel goons to (I think) power up Eternatus via the endless and repetitive battles they engage in.
Team Yell doesn't seem the type to be connected to "Eternatus". They're just random Football Hooligans who may or may not be on Marnie's (family's) take.
A similar team centered around Bede or Leon, on the other hand, could well be connected, at least tangentially, as they would be funded by the Big Bad who wants to control the "evil" legendary.

I would have gone with scantily clad Bikini Bandit girls as my personal army of goons 'with each one being a reference to a previous gym leader or elite four member'
Then again I'm not the Rival
King of Anime
x2
I mean Marnie wants to win the League for plot related reasons according to the website so I wouldn't be surprised if Team Yell got involved in the legendary plot eventually. Though Bede also wants to win the League to advance some goal of his own so I suspect the League will be more relevant to the plot than usual, even compared to BW where the League was the lead in to the final battle.
Interesting Person #928
tfw Marnie is Galarian Gladion
... And that's called jazz!
The King Without a Kingdom
She’s far less edgy than he is. I don’t see her wearing a shirt that looks bloody while striking a Jojo pose.

Regional variants are due to changes in the environmental conditions, so differences are to be expected.
Well, there's King Kazma as well, but it brings the Fire/Fighting scare back.
