I find it ever so slightly annoying that there isn’t a physical Flying Taxi stationed somewhere in the overworld of Kitakami. SwSh had a couple in Wyndon, and there’s a Paldean Flying Taxi in Zapapico. This affects nothing gameplay-wise, of course, but the Kitakamian Flying Taxi only ever appearing as a symbol on the loading screen breaks my immersion a little by reminding me that I’m just teleporting around in a video game and can do so regardless of the actual content of the in-game world.
I think having a battle-exclusive form (Eternamax, Starmobiles, a hypothetical Nihilusamine battle) here and there for the sake of a cool story setpiece is fine, but that’s about as far as I’d be willing to go. I love the Ultra Beasts, and I would have been so disappointed if they weren’t catchable.
God no. I'm pretty sure I said this back during the datamine era of SM when we only had pictures of the mons and people were theorizing this shit, but having shit you can't get fully goes against the spirit of the franchise to me.
